Proposals have been put forward for a Single Resident Record for the Isle of Man.
This paper reviews some of the issues arising, for the purposes of informing the consultation and debates about the proposals. In particular, this paper focuses upon the risks and dangers that are associated with a Single Resident Record. That is not because there are no potential advantages or benefits. Rather, it is because advantages and benefits will be put forward by those proposing the database in any event; it is the disadvantages and dangers that run the risk of being overlooked.

Brexit has been from the beginning a ‘revolutionary’ movement of historical importance. It is the most complex and consequential challenge that the UK has faced since the Second World War. It remains a popularist ideology, encompassing issues such as an ostensible ‘loss of British cultural and religious identity’ and the feeling by numerous individuals that they are losing the ability to control their personal destinies in an ever-increasingly competitive globalised world. It goes to the heart of how various groups perceive broader society with greater anxiety and what they hope and fear the future will hold. Arguably, these are the same forces that swept Donald Trump into power in the USA.
