Hello all. Just checked in on Twitter and appears things are kicking off on my tweets from yesterday. So, in the interests of full clarity and to make sure I am not spreading misinformation, here is precisely what happened and some verifiable information people have added. I woke up feeling ill (cough, sore throat, sore muscles, fatigue) I am in contact with fairly high risk people so thought I would look into getting a home Covid test. I did this through the gov.uk website. When prompted I said I did not have severe symptoms...

Woke up a slight sore throat so thought I'd do the right thing & get a Covid test. Official Gov.uk website now demanding I share my information with an American Credit Check Company.
No way that's good news. This is the same website that I could already log into and pay my taxes, so why this? Quick search shows that not only does it look like our govt are using the pandemic to sell some data harvesting to the US, but it's actively stopped people being able to get home tests.
Awful
