20+ years digital professional, now working in the travel sector. Apparently also a long-haired, beardy, occasional musician-type. All views my own.
You're not even close to being right. For a start you've ignored the "Galop Infernal" - otherwise known as the Can can music.

Just like passports are only used at borders and driving licences are only used with regards to driving issues. Oh wait, no they aren't... so of course a digital ID that 90% of adults will end up having to have on their phones won't suffer from function creep.

I've launched 3 websites this year (though the project started last year). Waterfall delivery would not have delivered them in the same timescale, and the flexibility of agile made it easier to get the business to focus on core requirements as the deadlines loomed.

As I manage a trio of websites, I look forward to the extra time rooting around in the office fridge looking for cheese.

We have a pretty bad history of stop and search being abused in this country; no reason to make it easier for no benefit.

The one where I can anonymously go about my day and if the police really want to fuck with me it's going to cost them a ton of paper work. I've lived in a country with ID cards and watched it be used as a tool by the police when they want to start hassling you.

An episode of Prime Suspect I think had a kid being run over because he was wearing headphones; this was a key revelation.

Yes but the adaptor was under £10 and lets me plug in anything with a 3.5mm jack. So your assertion that because of the EU it's impossible to attach any analogue device to the Apple USB ports is nonsense really.

Well 40-odd years ago I remember listening to a Sony Walkman cassette tape player as I took myself to school. So this isn't a new thing.

Seems odd as I can totally attach wired headphones to my ipad via the USB socket and a cheap adaptor.

I want to know how this was discovered. Presumably you thought you'd have a sneaky chocolate whilst waiting for the pot noodle to cool down and it fell in?
