I know that EMail delivery is not guaranteed. Occasionally things go missing or are claimed to go missing anyway, and we wonder. Today, I received a failure to deliver message and I just couldn’t remember sending it. It must be important though because I just don’t send junk mail.
On investigation to find out when I sent it I found this.

Just short of two years. I sure hope it wasn’t urgent.

Barely started and already lost
ID cards are still slowly being rolled out by the Stasi. The level is so low that everyone thinks they have been stopped but that is not so.
So knowing that there are some out there, the fact it is government run, and that everything the government does falls apart and fails, I’m sure it doesn’t surprise you to find out that the government has no idea how many have been obtained fraudulently. Read here.
Of course they will find out slowly when people such as yourself who don’t have one, want one or will get one unless it is forced upon us, apply and find someone already used your name, ran up a £1M bill and several criminal records and left you with the bill. All made possible by the state.
