This appears to be a thinly veiled consultation for a digital ID system that would at least be regulated by government. It is no coincidence that it has been rushed out while the government prepares digital vaccine passports.

And yes, of course different organisations have information about your activities: banks, TFL, etc. But that’s the point. They are *different* organisations; and that information may only be accessed by the authorities - separately - with a warrant.
This suggestion is for one identification document that - for the pathetic benefit of ‘convenience’ (or saving a v small amount of time) - will contain all the above ‘attributes’.
And they are just the beginning. The government no longer bother denying that they are considering a vaccine ‘passport’; or that it might even be used to ‘enable’ access to ordinary life. Ie that it would exclude* those without it.
And once some medical information is added, what next? There is no reason in principle why some other health ‘crisis’ might not be used to justify further medical information being ‘needed’ to keep us ‘safe’.
Never have we been asked to trust the government more.
Never should we trust it less.
Never should we trust it less.
