Digital ID with photo and optional biometrics. Be identified any crowd. Never be lost in a city. Makes identifying dead bodies easier. Work for cash ? No problem. We will stop cash next. Card only. A lovely distraction with added long term benefits from a future surveillance state.

What are digital ID cards, how will they work and will they be mandatory?
The IDs will not have to be carried day-to-day, but they will be compulsory for anyone wanting to work.

Glasgow City Chambers. An opulent city council building completed in 1888. Meanwhile, many of the people of the city lived in squalid slums as recorded by Thomas Annan just a few years before.

And so it becomes normal. Killing people on the high seas with complete impunity. Trump gave permission. He showed it off proudly. It's murder and he ordered it. Like a mafia boss beyond the law.

Trump must surely know and accept that it is all a sham. That in spite of all the kowtowing, the fawning and the sycophancy, everyone secretly despises him. Venerable, conservative Max Hastings historian was very good on BBC Radio4 PM today. Also here.

Less than 19 miles away in Sorochinsk, Ivan Sharonin saw the mushroom cloud from his street and ran into his house to get his camera, which he had recently used to photograph his children. In the rush to capture the fantastic scene, he forgot to advance the film, creating this eerie double exposure.

Tip of the day - switch off the news, remove click bait news apps from your phone, pick up a photo book , go out with a camera or make some prints (however you want to) in short your life will be happier and less stressful.

Rayner says in her resignation letter: "The challenges of government are nothing compared to the challenge of putting food on the table and getting a roof over our head when I brought up kids working as a home help." Absolutely. A shame to lose that perspective from the cabinet table.
