  • The new “BritCard” would be used to check on an individual’s right to live and work in Britain, with senior No 10 figures examining the proposal, The Times has reported.

    The card, stored on a smartphone, would reportedly be linked to government records and could check entitlements to benefits and monitor welfare fraud.

    I’m not against what it’s trying to achieve, but will it achieve that and isn’t there a less expensive or better way to do it?

    No chance to save lives unless sharp-tipped knives are banned and they’re all destroyed.

    She’s asking for half of this. Probably she only stops short of asking to to destroy existing knives because she knows it’s impractical. But if you stop creating new pointed knives, they’ll slowly get phased out. You wouldn’t save lives day 1, but decades down the line when nobody owns a pointed knife any more, you will.
