On ID cards for Britain:

"Will curb the prospect of work for illegal migrants, a significant factor driving small boat crossings."

'Oh no', thinks the illegal migrant, 'how will I be able to work in the black economy without a Britcard?'

That is how moronic this is.

"Scheme will also make it easier for the public to access the services they are entitled to."

That can be managed based on already extant IDs without need for biometrics. But wouldn't the insurance industry love to be able to find a way to deny claims via direct access to medical records, especially hand in hand with a semi-privitised NHS.

"There will be no requirement for individuals to carry their ID or be asked to produce it - but digital ID will be mandatory as a means of proving your Right to Work.

This will stop those with no right to be here from being able to find work, curbing their prospect of earning money, one of the key “pull factors” for people who come to the UK illegally."

Hi, what's your NI number? "Don't have one". No work for you.

"It will send a clear message that if you come here illegally, you will not be able to work, deterring people from making these dangerous journeys."

And how will they find out this information, prior to their journey? This is a continuation of the frankly idiotic narrative that migrants are sitting glued to the news, waiting to see which country has the least restrictions. It's nonsense. British citizens are effectively being asked to proved their right to work to deal with a miniscule problem. British citizens are the target. Migrancy is the Trojan horse.

Britain is a bin-fire.
