Digital ID. Nope not a fan at all. In the present populist political climate I am not comfortable with this personally. I have a passport and a driving licence and that should be sufficient. If id cards are used for routine checks I believe that there is a huge risk of unscrupulous behaviour in government or misuse of information. With recent rhetoric and in particular the labour gov stifling debate generally among its own MPs my level of trust is marginal.This at least forces a proper debate on the matter. And undocumented people won’t have them anyway so it seems a bit pointless. If you are self-employed will you have to ID yourself to work?

A few projects are ticking along nicely, but I am behind with a few practical matters that must be dealt with. Today as I write this I am feeling a little bit off. Sometimes the world is just a difficult place to navigate.

Hopefully my LP will pass all its checks. Its due for release at Halloween though it’s not really at all spooky in my opinion.

I am a bit achy and tired. I played a gig with the Sonic Boomers at Sandy last night. Good fun and a decent stage too. Situation normal really. Funny dream. I had a long chat with HM Liz 11. She was making jokes and did a couple of funny impersonations. We were in a run down canteen/OAP lounge or similar. No idea where that one came from. Not being remotely a royalist that is kind of strange.
