News today then in the Times of the plans that Gordon Brown will announce (I'm not alone in thinking that useless sack of shit Bercow was going to put an end to this kind of thing) that each of us will get
a personalised webpage for accessing Government servicesIt gets better.
He is now set to use a speech on Monday to unveil plans to give every voter a unique identifier allowing them to apply for school places, book GP appointments, claim benefits, get a new passport, pay council tax or register a car.
Over the next three years, the secure site will be expanded to allow people to interact with their children’s teachers or ask medical advice from their doctor through a government version of Facebook.Even the cunts in Whitehall want to get in on social networking. Bookface rejects proposals for a paedophile panic button and so Gordon will propose a rival to their business? The timing of this planned announcement is laughable. Who in their right mind would use a social networking site directly controlled by the government?

I wonder what that unique identifier will be?. I'm guessing a number or something. That number would have to be linked to something, may be a data base or something. And the user would have to have a convenient handheld reminder of that number that links to the database, may be a card or something. And that database would have to hold an awful lot of information about the owner, their family, their lifestyle, their car etc if they were to be able to use it online to
apply for school places, book GP appointments, claim benefits, get a new passport, pay council tax, register a car, interact with their children’s teachers or ask medical advice from their doctor.
If this idea ever gets off the ground I wonder what snazzy name they will come up with for this unique identifier, I'm thinking ID card.

Don't we already have one of these? It's called a National Insurance number.

You know. I've a horrible feeling the answer to that question is 'quite a lot of people, actually'.
Still, I suppose it would be a good idea to have them all in one place.
For, umm, contingency, let's say...
...erm, I think I'll pass on that one Gordo; if you don't mind of course.
Bastard.
