    I think that’s about right. I notice my online banking goes back to 2018

    Either way, it'll have to get through the house of lords etc first and they've admitted they have no idea how any of it will work. It's all just ideas still.

    Same as the UC Programme - they have no idea how any of it will work but that doesn't seem to matter to DWP

    Haha, that's unfortunately very true.  It's all very much reactive rather than proactive.

    The problem isn't benefits claimants and their bank accounts. The problem is the dangerous wicked people ruining peoples lives to save themselves.

    Transport for London confirmed that my disabled status changed in 2011 and had been notified by DWP (though I continued to qualify for discounted travel and didn't know for years). They can provide any journey details, it's all logged because I use a pass.  

    Store cards and social media use data and all data is marketable.

    Not a Freedom Pass but the bus and tram discount card.

    TFL keeps all passenger data from the type of fare, payment method, destination and times of travel and CCTV cameras are everywhere.

    No, they were able to look back several years for me and send a printout

    No one knows any solid information at all about this @Tonawanda17, because nothing has happened yet, so please don't worry!

    Thanks albus. And 2525 means we could get a new government.

    The data enables TFL to block stolen passes being used on the network and helps the police identify criminals

    Oyster doesn't need to be registered but would have to be linked to get concessionary fares.

    The driver can read the concessionary codes and give the passengers a cursory look

    London is already the most CCTV’d City in the World and yet there’s still a massive amount of crime / theft / murders. Too busy checking peoples Oyster card journeys it seems . 

    Agreed. We see plenty of traffic wardens but no police unless there's an incident and 8 cars show up to deal with a person face down on the pavement. 
    I think I should sign out now and cheer myself up!
