Comment

I think Lord Errol is missing several points.
Fear of being caught is surely a benefit. There is far too much lawless behaviour because the consequences are negligible.
I would like to think that registering a change of address on one part of a joined-up government system would also deal with the rest of the departments. Tax-dodgers and others may not like this but I'm sick of paying for them anyway - bring it on.
What scares me rigid and will probably make me oppose vigorously any such scheme is security. I have absolutely no confidence that my information will remain where is is supposed to be and will not be lost, stolen or otherwise compromised. Organised crime is very wealthy and utterly unscrupulous where large gains are to be made or terrorism is to be advanced. What more lucrative target than the theft of countless identities?
