    Also, the fact that I am Caucasian am in my 60s , speak with a North East accent and am working in NE England should give a very big clue as to where I am from. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I can't see what the fuss is all about really, I'm sure I heard that you would only need one if you want to work in the UK.
    Anyone legally working here and who deals with HMRC will most likely have divulged all their personal information to them already so that they can keep tabs on what you are earning, what you are spending and how much tax you owe them.

    "In the European Union, physical ID cards have existed for decades.
    In fact, in all bar two of the EU's 27 member states, physical ID cards, in a standard, machine-readable EU format introduced in 2021, are used both as identity documents in citizens' home countries, and for travel within the passport-free Schengen zone.
    The two exceptions are Denmark, which uses the digital identity and authentication app, MitID, and Ireland, which issues passport cards."

    Just as this card is announced as compulsory, another company has it's data hacked! Anyone working illegally wouldn't need one, they would just continue working illegally!

    Shove it, by the way does anybody know how much this role out is going to cost the tax payer and how much will it cost the tax payer per year to run the whole ****ing **** show so no it will not be free.
    The country is skint first we had a 22 billion black hole run up by the tories in 14 years and now it's over 50 billion run up by the Liebour shysters in less than 12 months.
