What are your thoughts on this? 🤔

This is not about empowering people or modernising the UK. It is about control. Digital ID sounds convenient on the surface, but it is the perfect Trojan horse for state overreach. Once everyone’s identity, financial data, medical history & online activity are tied to one central digital profile, you have effectively built the infrastructure for total surveillance. You claim it will tackle illegal immigration. In reality, it gives the government the ability to monitor and restrict the movements and transactions of ordinary citizens, the very people you say you want to empower. “Proving your right to rent in one click” quickly becomes denying your right to rent in one click. “Personalised public services” become conditional access based on compliance. The idea of a digital wallet for identity and payments edges dangerously close to a social credit system, where the state decides who is allowed to participate and who is not. You talk about saving people time and money. But what you are really saving is government effort by automating control and removing privacy. Once introduced, Digital ID will not stop at mortgages or childcare. It will expand into employment, healthcare, travel and even how citizens express opinions online. True empowerment means giving people freedom, not tracking them. If you really want to bring the UK into the modern age, focus on protecting privacy, decentralising power and ensuring that digital innovation serves the people, not the state.

Maybe I'm a minority here but I don't actually want to be segregated from men. I just want men to start behaving normally?

@SarahDuggers I agree If we start segregation based on some men not being able to leave women alone, it sets a dangerous precedent I can totally see the jump to "Well why didn't you sit in the women's only carriage if you didn't want him to assault you"?

@kangminlee What do you mean?

If a woman is a feminist, she relinquishes any right to chivalry & the protection of men. If women want to be treated as equals to men (feminism), you cannot expect men to treat you with special care (chivalry). If you want chivalry, abandon your feminism.

Just so everyone is clear what happened here; Waitrose, a company that makes many millions in profits, was happy to let this young man work in their stores for several years without being paid. The moment that he asks to be paid for his time, they refuse to let him come back. This wasn't a "placement", or about helping him to get some "work experience", this was a large company taking advantage of a young man to use him as free labour, and the moment he wasn't free anymore, they dumped him. This isn't inclusivity, this is blatant exploitation.

A Swedish court has ruled that the Eritrean migrant who raped 16-year-old Meya Åberg won’t be deported because the rape didn’t last long enough. The rape took place on September 1st last year when Meya missed her bus and was walking through a pedestrian tunnel after finishing her shift at McDonald’s. Meya and her family immediately reported it to the police. The 18-year-old Eritrean migrant, named Yazied Mohamed, was sentenced to 3 years in prison for rape. Mohamed is a citizen of Eritrea, and the prosecutor sought his deportation. However, the Court of Appeal noted that the man has refugee status. Under Swedish law, deporting a refugee requires that the crime committed constitutes an “exceptionally serious offense” and that allowing them to remain in Sweden would pose a “serious threat to public order and safety.” The rape of 16-year-old Meya was not deemed serious enough to justify deportation, with the Court of Appeal citing, among other factors, the “duration” of the rape in its assessment. “Rape is, in many cases, considered an exceptionally serious offense that could lead to the deportation of a refugee, but an assessment must be made based on all circumstances in the individual case. Given the nature and duration of the offense in question, the Court of Appeal finds that while the crime is serious, it does not constitute an exceptionally serious offense that would warrant a deportation order for Yazied Mohamed. The request for deportation is therefore rejected,” the Court of Appeal for Upper Norrland wrote in its ruling.
