The argument for ID cards is now:
โThe UK needs them to understand how its own society actually works.โ
Because I am very bored of dishonest number quoting by politicians, journos & opinion jesters.
ID cards would just wipe the conversation clean

Although I do remember a kid at school telling me their father had the same job as mine (she knew what he did) and when I told my dad (who knew him) it turned out he was an anaesthetist! Such a weird, weird lie.

Someone recently told me of an exchange they had with their childโs friendโs father where they asked what he did for a job and after a very pregnant pause and awkward looks from the (young adult) children he replied โerโฆ farmer?โ
Reader, he is not a farmer. LMFAO.

Always find it amazing that people assume the people staying at home and not voting would vote in a way that pleases them were they to do so.
These are people with so little sense they donโt think itโs worth having a say in how their country is runโฆ but sure theyโll vote in a sensible way.

2. Do not let the Spanish take over your country.
3. Quetzalcoatl is the one true God.

I think you should tell readers if your source is a Nazi. Hate genocide. Believe in the long-dead concepts of shame and accountability. Your weirdest aunts/uncles shouldn't run countries.
Artisanal bureaucrat. Faceless and unelected during office hours. Does health emergency stuff for the European Commission. Posts likely to be about EU and UK politics, movies, history, Brussels, rugby (Leicester Tigers fan), food.
