UK is pushing digital IDs, even if nobody asked for them They are selling them as
- Issued for free
- Will curb the prospect of work for illegal migrants, a significant factor driving small boat crossings
- Scheme will also make it easier for the public to access the services they are entitled to

All three points are false.
You pay for them through taxes or inflation, will have zero impact on migrant's ability to work illegaly, people are already using the services they are entitled to and change is rarely easy for most.

So why are they delivering a service nobody asked for and selling it with false claims? Control.
