There’s going to be a lot of tedious bollocks about this isn’t there?
I have a photo drivers licence, passport, Apple Pay with credit, debit cards and store cards on my phone and watch and barely use cash. Digital ID wallets and cards are coming in Europe and yes, it is for citizen convenience and also a means of monitoring and tracking, which given most people carry a phone, use cards to pay for stuff and are captured by CCTV both public and private it is probably a bit late to start moaning about Govt surveillance.
And given all the folk moaning will be the same ones moaning about who we let into the country and allow to ‘disappear’, well make your fucking minds up because the whining when we don’t do something and then the whining when we do actually do something is getting on my tits.
This is going to be a wall to wall shitfest of hot garbage in the media, so I’m bowing out and leaving you all to it :)
