    What a coincidence! Another policy that doesn’t really seem to tackle the problem they say it does but will definitely help them surveil the whole population and crack down on protesters.

      If you can work the phrase “shove them up your fucking arse” in there, I’m in 100% agreement.

    I only skim read the article but it doesn’t seem to explain how a new ID card will actually stop people working illegally? Surely the companies hiring illegal workers already don’t go through the proper channels (cash in hand for example), so how will this stop that?

    It seems to me actually prosecuting these companies will do much more than some IDs?

      Yeah, that’s it. It’s already a legal requirement for employers to check eligibility for work. But the dodgy ones know they can get away with not bothering, because there is so little enforcement of the laws we have.

      Claiming ID cards will do anything to reduce migration is nothing more than an excuse to further expand the surveillance state.

    More surveillance!
    More money funnelled to corporations!
    More attacks on the most vulnerable!
