If you think the fact it's "digital" will stop me burning my ID card in protest then you can think again!
Phones burn up nicely if you get them right.
They recently decided that company directors have to prove their digital ID. My company turnover is like 500 quid but I'm still a director of it.
So I had to prove my digital ID.
To do this, I had to take my driving license to a post office.
Which means it's no more secure than the driving license I already had, surely?
Wonder if I can sell a digital ID on the black market and then keep getting a new one.

Content warning: UKPol NHS ID

You'll never need a digital ID for NHS
Says Starmer, and literally the only people in the entire world who believe him is the UK press.
He doesn't believe it himself, the civil servants making the policy don't believe it, the programmers making the app don't believe it, the public at large don't believe anything he says.
Only the reporters show any credence at all. They are programmed to just repeat the words without even assessing if they are true. That's what journalism is now.
