To be absolutely fuming about the digital ID thing?

I work as a nurse in England.

I just feel absolutely fuming about the digital ID proposals and don't know how to channel my anger??

I very strongly object to this. It makes my blood boil when I think about it and I feel anxious knowing that something like this may be imposed on us all.

It is not going to stop illegal immigration. That line is absolute BS. They're doing it for their own selfish reasons.

What do we do? I don't want to not work, but I am going to refuse to have one. So my employer may sack me?!

It's just ridiculous!

Obviously I've signed the petition, emailed my MP, will join any protests etc.

But practically speaking - will my employer actually sack me for not having one?

I live abroad and have had physical ID card and digital app for years. I really don't know why everyone is making such a fuss. Yes - a concern that it is done properly and securely is reasonable - but the tin foil hat stuff is just ridiculous.

I’m not sure what the fuss is about. What’s wrong with proving who you are and that you have a right to work here? We all have to have a passport if we want to travel out of our country where we live. Genuinely curious as to why this is any worse?
