I suspect they are working on it jl. The paper jobs will never do. Biometric passports will be the order of the day.

[jl5006] 12/1/2021 18:52

In ur dreams Max
They are already available on E Bay.
Would be good to have dog passports - though.

[maxk] 12/1/2021 18:33

These ID cards will become mandatory. Possibly not directly via the government, but every man and his dog will want to see your "passport" if you want entry anywhere.

[k38] 12/1/2021 18:28

J32We (fools) help the Germans to become what they are today and in return they give us the "union" .Unless your name Germany you can break your own rules.

Priti Patel as a home Secretary if only labour had won we could have had the diversity champion Naz Shah who would probably have found a excuse to not to convict grooming gangs by shutting up the victims or what about Diane Abbot who would have provided extra 20,000 policemen for 300,000 pounds what about Dawn Butler who thinks police are picking on her

Exclusive: Vaccine passports to be trialled by thousands of Britons

The government-funded trial could be rolled out to millions across the UK if successful

Thousands of Britons who have received their coronavirus vaccine are set to be offered a health passport as part of a government-funded trial taking place this month.

The passport, created by biometrics firm iProov and cybersecurity firm Mvine, will be issued in the form of a free app allowing users to digitally prove if they have received the vaccine.

The trial will be overseen by two directors of public health in local authorities and will be complete in March. However, the locations have yet to be agreed.

Innovate UK, the government’s science and research funding agency, has pumped £75,000 into the project.

The aim of the trial is to show how the passports can be used to help the NHS keep track of the number of people that have received the first or second dose of the vaccine.

Frank Joshi, director and founder of Mvine, said the company first began working on the passes to demonstrate test results but had since acquired more funding to pivot into vaccination passports.

“The idea is that we are there ready and waiting in the event that we find ourselves interested in a situation where we need to prove something about ourselves,” he said.

“Originally we started off with this need to prove whether you’ve had an antibody test, but it can be equally used to demonstrate whether you’ve been vaccinated.”



Andrew Bud, chief executive of iProov, said that it was “very important” that anything done around vaccinations had to be tied to the NHS.

“We’re talking about a piece of remarkable technology that can be brought to bear and can be readily integrated with the NHS,” he said.

The companies added that if the passports prove successful it could be expanded to millions of people.

To date, the Government has contradicted itself on the use of vaccine passports. In December, Michael Gove said that they were “not the plan” but Nadhim Zahawi, the minister overseeing the rollout of the vaccine, said they were “looking at the technology”.

The trials come as the Ada Lovelace Institute launched an evidence review into the use of vaccination passports. The review, which is being chaired by Sir Jonathan Montgomery, will look at the ethics, science, law, and precedence of such passports.

Some fear the passports could discriminate against people who must not be vaccinated, such as pregnant women, who have been advised to date against taking the vaccine. The NHS has said that more evidence was needed on the jabs before they were offered to pregnant women. As a result, women could be restricted from travelling if the passports were to become mandatory.

United Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Swiss International AirLines, and JetBlue, have all said they would begin offering a health passport system to customers this year. BA-owner IAG is also working on its own healthpass that’s due to launch early this year.​

Oh dear K 38
Pritti as PM - never the public choice but u like her - always a bad idea to like a politician.
I know u like the rules - and so u like her spouting about fining and fining.
The police state ?

The rules work? Questionable . The jab works - insufficient evidence to show any longterm benefit.
There are 2 sides to every coin - or should be - except money makes things worse and the media cannot stop its diarrhea of death news.
More deaths than 1940 - FGS - were there 20 million in 1940 and 60 million now in UK.
Just fear - you like it as many do - but many loathe it.
The divide just as in USA
You have to do as I say - even though I have no idea about the realities of the situation.

If the Americans try for a female president through the back door, why not Patel as a PM after Boris...;))Patel is definitely more capable, she has what it takes than that what they called? Makala something.

Nancy has made sure the military have got her side covered. The Orange Man and his merry men of redneck bum bandits would last the weekend at most.

Amen

Anyway by this time next week we'll know if Trump has military backing to declare insurrection, and whether Simon Parkes is the real deal or a fantasist.

lefrene..Trump and the white supremacists won't be around to cause too much more mayhem. Their little revolution is now having it's ramifications. Many of those who went believing Trump's lies are now terrified of the dawn raids that will be in full force after the 19th.

Trump will still have a base, but for how long. He has no military backing, those hillbilly militia men who he has in bulk may have gotten away with it once, but the tide has changed. If that lot had an iota of a chance last week, we would now be seeing it on the markets.
