If this is an argument > In practice, what they'll do is hire accenture or some other dipshit company, spend _billions_ re-inventing a cross between a passport and oauth2, and it'll fail hard and be horribly insecure.

then we'll never do anything in the UK and we should all just give up on changing anything.

Also, btw the passport renewal is done without government gateway ID.

Fuck its driving license isnt it?

Side note, driving license is an ID that carries a £10k fine if you don't update your address in time.

Thats the frustrating thing, GDS could have done "digital ID", and were kind of doing that already. When I came to renew my passport, I could use the photo I had on file from my driver license(or it was the other way around). Absolutely wild.
