Easy enough for you?

From my experience of large databases the probability of a national ID relational database ever functioning as is being proposed, much less as is being postulated for the future, is zero.
Really zero. It simply can’t be done. It’s beyond the whit of man.
Bits of it will work, but at a huge financial and human resource cost. Based on even the napkin estimates that have been circulating those costs are certainly not well understood by the people making cost estimates let alone the decisions.
Worse even than that, bits of it will be
thought to work and with horrible consequences.
I understand big databases.
I understand them very well indeed.
One thing often overlooked is that data in itself is useless. It is only when data is used to extract or create information that the value kicks in, but the
extraction of data, so called data mining, is a real pain.
Ask any major supermarket that has a loyalty card.
So all in all anything beyond a thing that provides a conclusive tie up between a person and the identity by which he is known that can rapidly establish his bona fides, his criminal record, if any, and his status within the country is simply a money pit that will never work.
Unfortunately we do need something however.
Since the period of uncontrolled immigration and the disastrous ideologically driven logically fatally flawed experiment in creating a “multicultural society” we now have a huge social problem in Britain.
Sadly the issue is no longer do we need some for of ID that must be carried round, that situation has been forced on us by the actions of the present government more than anything else, the issue is to ensure that what is to be implemented will be viable, practical, affordable, and of real use.
A good start in providing the security that we now so badly lack in Britain would be to distance ourselves from the ECHR, put a fast track low cost deportation process for illegal immigrants in place, and take some of our judges by the scruff of the neck to the nearest sewage farm and sling ‘em in.
From the judgements they’ve been coming out with recently concerning terrorists they should be made to wallow in what they’ve been coming out with.
