Countries that enforce Big Brother rules – and how they punish those who disobey
Britain will join the illustrious ranks of North Korea, China and Taliban-ruled Afghanistan by declaring it compulsory for every citizen to have a government-issued digital ID card.
The ‘BritCard’ is a fresh attempt by Sir Keir Starmer to clamp down on illegal immigration, allowing the government to clearly verify a citizen’s right to live and work in the UK.
The plan, which is expected to be announced fully in a speech on Friday, will likely be subject to consultation before coming into action.
