This will have some folk screaming blue murder and probably not just the conspiracy nutters who'll be reaching for another roll of kitchen foil!

I'm all for it and I'm sure most people, who have nothing to hide, will welcome the convenience.

Veterans cards will be the test area by the looks of it followed by driving licences and "government services - like applying for childcare or reporting a lost passport – far easier and in tune with modern life"

But let's not kid ourselves before long I can see it being used as proof of identity and allow access to all government services such as benefits and probably even the NHS. I still have nothing to hide so it won't affect me and millions of other citizens who go about their lives not bothering anyone.

Thoughts? 😆
