Don’t you know who I am?!

Elizabeth Lumley writes about the challenges of proving who you are i.e. your identity.

Here is a taster of her commentary:

Seriously, voices were raised, fists were pounded on the table, literally, and people barked back and forth saying things like: “There is a difference between soft identity and hard legal identity!”, “You have no idea how banking really works!”, “I lock down my Facebook to the highest degree!”

…and my personal favourite:

“A terrorist could log into my bank!”

via Don’t you know who I am?!.

It reminded me of the challenges a French colleague had when he moved to the UK; it took him months to get a bank account to pay his legitimately earned salary into.
