Absolutely against vaccine passports. Just another pointless means of state control when if you get vaccinated, you should get a card anyway. For one thing, it’s technology based, smartphones and the like, outsourcing to Boris’ chums for the app, disenfranchising those who don’t want the technological oversight (like me). Another waste of money!
It‘s also only useful for that brief period between pandemic and achieving herd immunity through vaccination, the point where the minority of those that aren’t or can’t be vaccinated are protected by the immunity afforded by the vast majority. At that point, everyone can have a normal life with or without a bloody passport!

Quote: Jitendar Canth says... "At that point, everyone can have a normal life with or without a bloody passport!" Agree with most of that. I don't like ID's as they're one step away from pass laws and the like. Most of us do have enough ID's already just not the compulsion to carry them. Your last sentence though. It could be sometime before you don't need proof to travel abroad as world wide vaccination will take forever.

I was only speaking in domestic terms. Travelling abroad already requires passports, visas and in some cases vaccine certificates. If I need a passport to step into my local library, I’m going to get peeved.

Quote: **haGGis** says... "this is nothing to do with fraud and 100% to do with locking out a demographic that are currently suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.." Which demographic exactly as we talking about and how many of those people either vote or are already in the approx. 9 million people estimated by ERS to not be on the electoral roll?
I'm curious to know if those we're talking about (roughly 3 million according to some estimates) are actually disenfranchised or already feel disenfranchised and aren't bothered about voting.
We have a democratic deficit here but not 100% sure where exactly that is...

For me the bottom line is we should be encouraging everyone to vote, not adding barriers for people to vote. And I would defend that no matter who the votes are for, because the government should represent the country.
Instead we have a government doing the opposite, restricting rights to protest, trying to remove legal blocks that prevent them from bypassing parliament... the irony when 10 years ago tories were running around moaning about how the whole system was stacked against them and unfairly benefited labour votes.
