Off Topic And Now for Something Completely Different

Starmer saying you won't be able to work in the UK without the ID.

I'm sure the people that are currently employing illegal immigrants and paying them in cash will definitely change their policy

 

Generally those born here get a NI number. Sometime in the past everyone eligible got an NHS number. The local hospital trust (hey) decided to invent their own system and allocate everyone a hey number.
Just had reason to call a bit of the local health services, can you confirm your full name and date of birth. Anyone overhearing the call could pretend to be me and call five minutes later. Do pension payments still show up on bank statements as DWP then your NI number.
I think we need a more secure way of doing things, I just don't trust any government to do it.

 

And that is how they will explain the reasoning to do away with cash. Only the illegal use cash.

 

I can't see that, it would be a massive vote loser

 

Ye builders etc are having sleepless nights at the thought of having to pay tax on all their earnings like the rest of us
