The same party that wants digital ID is trying to destroy encryption.
Exactly how is the ID secured without encryption?

I wonder if here in Fife that means we get 5G or just more Zero-G

What of the people that live an area with no phone signal?
It will be worse than useless, it will be another example of how awful infrastructure is and how zero-G areas are ignored.

I am opposed to mandatory digital ID - people should be able to go about their daily lives without such infringements.

That aside, by calling it BritCard, the Prime Minister seems to be attempting to force every Scot to declare ourselves British.

I am a Scot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There is a process for demonstrating the safety of drugs. If there is valid data that shows otherwise, it should be cited. If they do not like the existing process show us the evidence for a better time process. Neither has happened. Trump and his cohorts actively deleted scientific data.

A great theory but is actually asking for end of encryption, making hackers lives easier and all of us less safe. There is no middle ground, encryption is like pregnancy there is no half done

It is on the Beeb it must be true, just like all their other propaganda.

They closed the minor injuries unit in Cupar because the building in St Andrews cost NHS Fife a stack as it is PFI.

I ask as we know Fife NHS had some serious PFI debt

It should be taken as a compliment and a warning. The BBC invested heavily in Twitter and now it is an echo chamber. Bluesky is seen as uncontrollable, so dangerous.They clearly are planning to undermine it if they can.

Does this include the NHS or is PFI separate for the NHS.

Just the BBC doing the bidding of their right wing overlords. The don't like platforms where they have no control.

Houses without jobs? It sounds great.

In Fife the cost of PFI, a gift from labour is crippling services in Fife NHS.

He already didn't act. The UK was warned by Italian doctors and did nothing.
Johnsons statement should have said, they procrastinated and then ran out of time to act. Remember he couldn't read a logarithmic chart, he and his government were utterly incompetent.

Living in Scotland, defense for the BBC, aka The voice of propaganda, just gets a "sure, right". We have known for a long time about Mason, sure hope he gets moved down South.

We should sure be looking for a link, between tax payers money and politicians bank accounts.

Yes, the term is "snake oil salesman", "not vaccine sceptic".

When will see charges for the heists that they performed on the public finances during COVID? When will they apologize for their utter incompetence of their government that allowed people to die due to their inaction. Remember the parties?

Brian Moore is one of the commentators that actually know the rules of rugby . Now it might be old fashion to know the rules, but it does actually matter. So I am there for the BM commentating not the rest, each to ones own.

Will we see Farage resign for all his slippery tax dalings - very unlikely

Exactly

The world needs to reintroduce vaccination passports.

Fine to fact check, however cause matters as well. How much is the cause is PFI given to Scotland by Labour. It certainly has a huge impact in Fife.

There is a reason Scotland considers London media to be propaganda

There was an upsurge in small boat crossings after the UK abandoned a returns agreement with other European countries. The UK now stands alone in Western Europe in being outside that agreement. Hard Brexiteers own this problem. Time to rejoin the Dublin convention.

ECHR would have blocked the Highland clearances.
Why would people in Scotland repeal laws like that?

Not something that Scotland and Ireland has seen to much from England.

Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from.

I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR."

It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.
