I know this is small potatoes compared to everything else going on over on the Old Sod, but has something happened to the Royal Mail? A few years ago, packages to and from my family in Wales would arrive without a hitch. Now, it's always some weeks' or months' long delay or another. I went to check on a package and I see there was a cyber attack?  And so packages to Canada were suspended? That seems unusually bad.

So Royal Mail was attacked by some Russian hacker group who held them up for a large (but not actually that large for a company their size, & it started a lot lower & every time they refused to pay/tried to delay it went up until it got to about £80m) sum of money & then RM refused to pay it, pointing at some stupid accounting trick to claim they make no money. And now you can't send things abroad lol. Well, you can, with other couriers. Including Parcel Force despite it being owned by Royal Mail. Total loving shambles.

It's right there in the name that it belongs to the nation. Well, that sucks. I liked being able to send mail back and forth easily, now this is another obstacle to staying in touch.

Thatcher thought the same way, she was horrified at the idea of privatising anything with the queen's face on it. Even rail privatisation was a step too far for her and needed to be done by Major, we can thank Vince Cable for Royal Mail being sold.

There is nothing in the world that Blairites like more than spiteful authoritarianism for no good reason. If people want to oppose them for equally pointless and spiteful reasons, then it's only fair, in my opinion.

The concern has always been with (1) the big database that it would be connected to, that would inevitably be made and stewarded by the worst shits alive (Autonomy were up for the tender when it was Blair's pet project) and would also inevitably get hacked/ransomed, and (2) this is the UK so you have to operate on the assumption that anything like this that gets built will be at the fingertips of Norsefire after a couple of elections and (3) it will just be used to extend already overreaching police powers.

The party pushing it also spent years trying to give the police the power to lock people up for months without even charging them with any crime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_Act_2006#Extending_the_period_of_detention_without_charge The Labour right are still mad about not being able to pass that so I assume they will try again if they get into power, although the rest of the political establishment has moved on and doesn't care about 'terrorism' at all any more.

Blair pushing ID, means someone is paying Blair to push ID. Fucker wouldn't do anything for free As said, its would be a massive database full of legit data to sell onto other 'interested' parties. The UK has sold off its water, power, sewerage, trains, etc, to foreign investment firms (for a promise of a board seat or nepo-kid placement) I would be surprised if this wasn't sold off within the first minute.

i think ID cards fit in the brain of all these neoliberal think tanks as the solution and natural endpoint for the atomisation of society they’ve presided over, so you can just add all sorts of boondoggle means testing poo poo using it for benefits, something you legally have to have on you at all times, even at a protest, and have to present to a copper under penalty of arrest, or even as a oyster card it’s the politics holy grail, and worth £££ it’s obviously not going to be a normal id card just for id like in poland etc
