How does a homeless person without a smartphone get a job? Is the government going to supply smartphones to everyone?
Or anyone who simply doesn’t want a smartphone. How do they get a job? Are you now forced to use a smartphone if you want to be a UK citizen?
The government has said it wants to ensure the scheme works for those who are not able to use a smartphone and will launch a consultation on how the service will be delivered later this year.
The new digital ID will be held on people’s phones, in a similar way to contactless payment cards or the NHS app.

Yeah, they have no clue what they’re doing. Maybe do the consultations and research before announcing your plan?
HumanPenguinUnfortunately the main negative of this,
Is while smartphones make it easy to display. The data will be with the government. So not having a smart phone is easy to get around. Companies will likely be able to access the database and see your data.
UK unemployed having to pay for new gov ID to get a job. Is the real fucker.
