The Government has announced its plans to create digital identities for accessing public services but “without creating ID cards” (see how they did that?).

Those of us who assumed WEF meetings were full of altruistic, visionary leaders sourcing the most nutritious bugs for us to eat in our future (rented) EcoPods may be shocked to find there is a seedy side to Davos.

Conspiracy theorists who believe Klaus Schwab is orchestrating food, energy and health policies across the West have given his critics a bad name. But there are perfectly rational reasons to fear the WEF.
