fucking hell that was long.
I really don't want another biometric ID card, but it's better than a fucking phone app.

Ok, so: An Orthodox Jew goes on holiday in the UK. She has pre-booked at an all-inclusive resort. Friday night dinner comes with an alcoholic beverage. She cannot use a digital ID on Friday night because it's shabbat. Therefore, she can't have any alcohol with her shabbat dinner on her holiday. This is not a far-fetched scenario at all. Everybody goes on holiday occasionally. People travel. They like a drink with dinner on special days. But this is the rule that the UK government wants to introduce. Worse holidays.
