UK ID Cards Could Be Upgraded To Super ID Cards

Posted by timothy on from the big-enough-to-give-you-all-you-want dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Gadget lovers are used to punishing upgrade cycles but now it seems that the British ID card could be replaced with a 'super' ID card just a couple of years after the first one was released. The new card could be used to buy goods or services online, or to prove identity over the web. It's a bit of a kick in the teeth for the people who have already paid £30 for a 1st gen card that can't do any of these things."

    These people select themselves for leadership at private school (if Tory) or at university (if Labour or Lib Dem)

    What on earth makes you think the Labour and Lib Dem MPs all went to state schools? Have you forgotten the minor scandal a few years ago over certain high-profile Labour MPs sending their kids to private school?
