Starmer’s lawyer pals and judges will be arguing that BritCards violate the human rights of illegal immigrants. And in the current legal framework they will succeed. BritCards will only be imposed on actual Brits.
The other side of the story is that Romania actually is a place where you can get very high quality engineering work done for cheap. Romanians are smart and diligent. More so than many other popular outsource countries we could mention. That’s not to dismiss your point about it being a hacking capital, but just to give more balance to why they would outsource to Romania. For a commercial project, I would happily use Romania. For a sensitive national government project… maybe not.
I actually have a high impression of GDS, as government departments go, they tend to know what they are doing and are efficient. But my confidence has taken a dent from this report.
By the way we don’t have to imagine what a large scale compromise would look like - we have the examples of the UK NHS and then the Irish equivalent. All due to laxity of security measures.
It seems to me unlikely that Starmer will be able to introduce digital ID. It's too unpopular.
The thing we have to watch for is a Farage-led government bringing in anything remotely similar. It would help build trust if Reform and Farage committed to legislating never to bring in any form of digital ID.
It would also help if Farage repented over pushing for Blair to be the "UK's vaccination tsar" early in 2021.

very fair points... appreciate the info 👍
Keir Rodney Starmer has never done anything remotely original in his life...so the ringleaders are out there to be rounded up as well...

I already thought Digital ID was a terrible idea JJ. Thanks for giving me even more reason to dread this latest authoritarian overreach. 🤣
Mass nationwide refusal
The economy will tank if they are going to sack the workforce
