I'm sorry to tell you that the current government have stolen your idea and plan to roll out Digital IDs for all, possibly starting as early as December of this year. It will of course be for your benefit and convenience (at first).

 

 

I think digital IDs are a brilliant idea.

 

For everyone else, that is.

I wonder how digital ID works for people with multiple personalities.

Can we have more than one device for this ?

Good point! Those of us who are dual signs (gemini, Pisces etc) will be in trouble with just the one ID.

I asked myself about it but there was no agreement on this so it will remain an unsolved problem.

Nothing to laugh about here from Private Eye. The last sentence is disengenuous to say the least. None of the proceeds from all these sales of our heritage go directly to maintaining the system, however many times this is said as a justification. This is not allowed so any proceeds are invested. The fate of the iconic Braunston Stop House is also at risk again as Braunston Marina have pulled out of leasing it.

So what do you do with a building no one wants other than keep it and keep spending money on it?

Maybe not being so greedy with the leasing stipulations would be a start.

How greedy are they being?

 

Full repairing lease is very common on commercial property, which is why not many businesses choose to move into dilapidated listed buildings ...

And who has allowed it to become dilapidated? The same authority that was charged with looking after the UK's heritage when they took it all on.

No but the income from the investment does. And selling it to someone who restores and maintains it is surely a good outcome. If it is of heritage interest it should be protected by listing.
