A Word To The Wise To Master Yaxley-Lennon & His Chums, From The Geordie Faithful

Ye can keep yer racist hate

well away from Gallowgate,

ye were outnumbered, outsung

by a full ten to one.

Tek ya boneheaded thugs,

sorry excuses for men

find yersels some other mugs

an dinnat cum back agen.

For despite all yer desperate

invitations to a brawl,

this toon is made from love, son

and that stuff conquers all.

Only saw a snippet on the news the other night, but Yaxleys chums were slinking away very quietly, all the bravado they have shown recently all vanished when faced with a handful of Geordies telling them a few home truths.

 

A similar thing happened in Glasgow the other week too.

So all of us who live here legally already with NI numbers and multiple forms of Verifiable ID, being mandated to carry digital identification will stop those crossing the channel “illegally”   🤔🤔

Care to explain how you see this actually working

Tell you what DJ I try to avoid talking to fools but changing the topic slightly post up your NI number, passport, FAC/shotty licence numbers, DOB and mother's maiden name.

I’m trying to understand how it will do anything different than the NI number and anti fraud checks already in place. At best it’s a red herring to make it look like something’s being done, at worst it’s another way of mandating something which will later be exploited (legislation/law already in place will make it easier to impose future control/restrictions. 
 

Eager to learn - am I missing something? 

Possibly, my mother got scammed and we got all kinds of letters etc to her address for unpaid card bills and applications for things that weren't in her name etc etc.

Online,  biometric and backed up by paper or plastic and what's the problem, no chicken little and sky falling on your head scenarios.

If you are gonna post something at least think about it that’s neither an explanation of how you see it working nor a realistic question 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️try to find an original opening insult 👍👍stealing someone else’s material is not on.
