Imagine having more money than you could ever need and instead of using it to tackle poverty or disease you give it to a bunch of entitled grifters who don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.

People’s Panel for Digital ID
The Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, Darren Jones, has announced the first nationwide citizens’ assembly to have been commissioned by the UK government. Called the ‘People’s Panel for Digital ID’, it will form part of a consultation into plans for introducing a digital ID system.

Those plans were set out in a green paper published in March. The government said it ‘intends to introduce a national digital ID’ that will satisfy three ‘core principles’: that the system is ‘useful’, ‘inclusive’, and ‘trusted’. It added that the purpose of the consultation was to seek feedback on ‘how to build a system that is useful for everyone’.

The consultation began on 10 March with an eight-week ‘open engagement’ process. This comprises an online survey and support for ‘local conversations and events across the UK’, including ‘roadshows, roundtables, as well as resources to help communities run their own discussions in ways that work for them’.

The People’s Panel will be convened in May, after the initial consultation has ended, and will itself conclude by 21 June. It will be made up of ‘a broadly representative group of 100–120...
