First it was hashtags – now Amber Rudd gives us Brits knowledge on national ID cards

Her argument is that since people are all too willing to "impatiently agree" to cookie policies that allow big biz to track their every movement, they should also get on board with state ID cards.

As regards 'People' she means herself, having found 'impatiently' clicking through the often overcomplex opt-outs (and probably ending up with exactly the same cookie settings she had originally as the website intended).

So that's the kind of underhand strategy she thinks is acceptable is it?

Some greedy unscrupulous big businesses have so far gotten away with it so it must be a good strategy for the UK Government?

Perhaps she'd like to see some of the practices of some U.S. big pharma duplicated by the UK tax office...Hey, lets raise various taxes 400%, think of all the investments (or squandering on failed IT projects) that could be done...
