Скачать или смотреть “Good idea”: UK residents react to mandatory digital ID to control immigration

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced the introduction of compulsory digital ID cards on Friday for people who work in the UK — a measure to tackle illegal immigration and maintain control over borders.

"You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have digital ID. It's as simple as that," Starmer said in a keynote address during London's 2025 Global Progress Action Summit.

The policy, which he said would be required by the end of the current parliament, aims to address concerns about illegal workers in the shadow economy and maintain fairness in the immigration system.

"I think it's a good idea... We all need to do whatever we can to support the government to manage immigration,” said London resident Mark.

Others, however, weren’t so receptive.

“It's probably not the best of ideas. Because with anything digital, everything can be changed,” said an unnamed Hull resident.
