The problem with this future fiasco is that it is not the morons who conceived the idea and promoted it against all intelligent data to the contrary, it is not the politicians who voted for it despite all the contrary advice, it is me, and you and all our familiies and friends who will have to pay for this.
If there is a working system, the government will turn it into a nightmare fiasco which becomes an expensive failure.
In this case there is no already working system; there is no tangible benefit, which to all intelligent life forms rings alarm bells.

no doubt at the end of the day someone will get up in parliament and say, "yes it was an expensive fiasco ... down to the fault of the contractor, but.... now is the time to draw a line under this and move on" - to the next one. Meanwhile pensioners and the lowest paid will struggle as they will need to fork out to get their benefits. The rest of us can renew the passports just before D Day and get another 10 years of peace.
