On the second photo I'd have guessed 3rd from right 2nd row.

I'll let the guessing game run for another 24 hours, or so. First correct answer wins 20 internets, second gets 10 and all subsequent ones win 5. You can guess as many times as you like, but only your first on each photo can win internets.

That was my second choice. Can't remember if he has a pointy chin or not. Post your adult photo, Hermit.

To return to the OP:

Boris Johnson's new homes scheme 'will harm Tory pledge to level up UK'
Infrastructure levy tied to PM’s plan to build 300,000 houses a year will benefit south-east most, say experts

Boris Johnson is facing fresh warnings that his planning overhaul risks denting his commitment to “level up” the country amid mounting Tory anxiety over the proposals.

Conservative MPs have raised concerns directly with the prime minister about planning reforms designed to push through the construction of more than 300,000 houses a year. MPs have focused on the model used to allocate new housing targets for each area, with Tories warning it would lead to houses being built in their shire heartlands rather than the metropolitan centres.

However, there are new warnings that other parts of the plan could end up hurting the government’s central election pledge to “level up” more deprived parts of the country, where the Tories found new supporters at the last election.

Under the proposals, funds for new infrastructure and social housing would be raised from a nationally fixed levy. The levy, handed to local councils, would be applied to the predicted market value of a building development once completed.

ID cards anyone?

The UK's online ID plans: expensive, intrusive, unnecessary
Of all the ways to reshape society after the pandemic, a digital identity system should not be anyone’s priority

We have no hesitation in making the national identity card scheme an unfortunate footnote in history. There it should remain – a reminder of a less happy time when the government allowed hubris to trump civil liberties.” That was then home secretary Theresa May speaking in 2010 as she scrapped the previous Labour government’s multi-billion pound ID scheme, following a Conservative election campaign that included a pledge to “reverse the rise of the surveillance state”.

Only last year, the Home Office minister Baroness Williams told parliament that the introduction of identity cards would be “prohibitively expensive and would represent a substantial erosion of civil liberties”. What a difference a year makes. Under the guise of the coronavirus pandemic, the government has announced plans to create online ID cards and a digital identity system to “revolutionise the use of data across government”. Although the Times reports that the details have not been finalised, under the proposals people “will be assigned a unique digital identity to help them with such tasks as registering with a new GP”. Pub owners, the article suggests, “would be able to digitally verify drinkers’ ages”.

I'd thought you'd be a fan. You seem to have no problem with having to register where you live with the Dutch state. Another case of your hate for the UK/US blinding you to your hypocrisy.

Prohibitively expensive, my puckered hairy arse. France has had ID cards as long as I can remember... once upon a time, people who wanted to get one had to buy a tax stamp as part of the process. While it was not excessively exxpensive (cheaper than the one on passports for instance), it was massively impopular, as a tax on legal existence (you are supposed to be able to produce your ID at any time). So, some time in the early 200s (I'd say 2001 or 2002), the government just waived the tax stamp requirement, making issuance of ID nearly free... only thing they seem to have done to cut costs following this move is to lengthen card validity from 10 to 15 years... and I'm not sure just how much cost cutting they've really done, since these days the cards seem to have a chip and to hold some information on you, including biometrics (fingerprints).

The socialists must have infiltrated the UK conservatives. An emasculated population without recourse to firearms has no option but to bend over and take one up the shitter. Something like this would never be allowed in to happen in the US. Why? Because we have guns and patriots ready to use them!
