Together with other recent pieces of legislation, we will end up
wit a significant proportion of people just living outside the
law

Just like now you mean? So no change there then. :-)

Except we'll have wasted £3bn on getting nowhere...

Ah, not nowhere. All that hardware to be manufactured by people making a
living, ditto designers, ditto software, ditto operators, dittor enforcers,
ditto card makers, ditto ink... oh I can't be bothered. £3bn doesn't just go
nowhere, it's spent on things and services, all of which keep the world busy
and what goes round comes round.
