The petition against UK digital ID cards has so far been signed by nearly 3 million people - I’m one of them.
The UK government response to the petition, which is scheduled to run until January 9, 2026, landed in my inbox yesterday:
They’re basically telling us to buzz off. They’ve decided to do it and we serfs will just have to deal with it. They claim it won’t be compulsory for now. But the phrase “your boarding pass to government” contains a veiled threat - if you refuse to have a digital ID, you could be denied your state benefits or pension.
It’s not about controlling immigration. It’s about controlling us.
It’s a lie to claim that Digital IDs are a way to tackle illegal immigration. The Home Office already operates an electronic visa (eVisa) system which records the identity and status of immigrants. It’s plagued with technical problems. In one case reported to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the errors with Home Office data were so bad that they breached UK data protection law.
Now they want to roll out a compulsory digital ID system for all UK citizens?
Digital IDs are the gateway to a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) that gives the government complete financial control over its citizens. Step out of line by wearing a proscribed t-shirt or sending an ‘offensive’ tweet, and you could not only be jailed but your bank account could be frozen.
Digital IDs were nowhere in English Labour’s manifesto. But Starmer, the most unpopular PM in recorded history, has caved to pressure from his mentor and advisor, Sir Anthony Charles Lynton Blair, who loves Digital IDs and AI because of their potential to make him even richer.
Blair’s institute has already received £350m from Jewish Zionist tech billionaire Larry Ellison to force this surveillance tool onto the UK. Ellison’s firm Oracle, along with Zionist Peter Thiel’s Palentir, has its tentacles around the UK. Since 2022, Oracle has earned £1.1 billion from the UK government and is investing another £5 billion in AI technology across government departments and defence companies.
Blair tried to introduce ID cards in 2002
In 2002 Blair tried to impose a national ID card scheme. The Home Office proposed a “voluntary entitlement card” but then in 2004 suggested that it be compulsory. The Identity Cards Act 2006 became law but was repealed under the Tory/Lib Dem coalition in 2010. The scheme costed a cool £4.6bn.
Like a turd that won’t flush, Sir Tony is back with his ID scheme.
If Switzerland can do it, why not the UK?
Last month the Swiss electorate narrowly approved digital IDs (50.4%) after having rejected the idea in 2021. At least they got to vote on the issue. We don’t have that right here. If things don’t go well with Swiss digital IDs, the Swiss people can launch a referendum to get rid of them, another right we don’t have here.
There’s another important difference between the UK and Switzerland: the Swiss trust their government. A 2023 OECD survey revealed that the Swiss people’s trust in government was 61.9%, the highest of all OECD countries. The UK figure was 26.6%. Only Czechia was lower at 18.5%.
Since then, things have only grown worse for the long-suffering citizens of this disunited kingdom. In the latest British Social Attitudes survey, just 12% of respondents said they trusted the government to put the national interest before party interest, the lowest figure ever recorded.
So why on earth should we trust the government to act in our interests this time? Digital IDs and CBDCs are being introduced because they are the British State’s ultimate tools to surveil and control an increasingly angry and restive population.
Is it not ironic that futuristic technology will be used to send most of us back to the exploitation, serfdom and helpless condition of decades, if not centuries ago. 😞
At the most basic, crudest even, level we should be asking ' who the f*** do these arrogant b*****ds think they are '? - that they think/assume they can TELL us what they intend to impose on us, the commoners, the lumpen, insignificant masses, the dafties who fight the wars initiated by and for the benefit of various Elites who ( imagine ) they exist in an exalted plane far above the petty concerns and interests of the hoi polloi, without whom NOTHING of any value would be produced
The hubris and colossal vanity/self-importance of these ghouls defies belief.
It's bad enough that we have utterly hollow, obvious Deep State * actors * like Starmer, who at least was elected, albeit via the ghastly, Y? Factor * Reality * Show, Light Entertainment soap-bubble that passes for Democracy/General Elections ( I'm A Worthless, Careerist, Sociopath.....Get Me In There ) and whose most notable achievement, so far , is becoming the most unpopular UK PM EVER; an accolade he'll almost certainly improve upon by becoming the most damaging-to-the-people PM EVER by the end of his tenure.
Bad enough that HE is pushing this shit, but the involvement of war criminal super-creep Whore Of Capitalist Babylon, ie Blair adds a whole other dimension of GET TAE F**K to this latest, outrageous assault on our individual civil/human rights to personal autonomy and privacy. Who elected him? from whence/whom does he derive the power to impose ANYTHING on ANYONE?
I'll ask again ........who the f**k do these w****rs think they are?
Depressingly, I'm already seeing signs this will be one more outrage passively accepted: bizarrely, self-harmingly " rationalised ", eg along the lines of " if you've nothing to hide you've nothing to fear " FFS ! Aye, that's right, not as though * our * Government - or any Governments - have a history of abusing the collection of personal data to, basically, spy on/monitor their populaces; or Big Business a history of using personal data- that should be exclusively under the control of the individuals concerned - to make/increase profits, right?
More and more the whole * Covid * Lockdown insanity looks like a softening-up operation, which demonstrated to the State just how easy it was/is to get almost 100% public compliance for what would once have been considered totally unacceptable levels of behavioural manipulation and sold to us under the diktat of some omniscient entity named " THE Science " ( ie what's left when you ban, censor, ridicule and criminalise any/all dissenting voices, even those of experts-in-the-relevant-fields ) if sufficient degrees of coercion are applied, eg stay indoors ( or face criminal consequence ) threat ( comply or face getting sacked from your job ) and emotional blackmail ( get ( largely untested ) * vaccines * else granny will die ) and - above all ....F.E.A.R. Stay indoors, wear a stupid, useless mask, stay a certain distance from everyone- even your dying relative.
It worked. Beautifully. For them. And now the same * they * are selling us a war, against a country that has NEVER done us any harm and on the basis that country is a threat to our sacred way of life. So" sacred " they are ruthlessly stripping away what remains of any value within that life and turning us into little more than mindless consumers of the shit the system they control feeds us
Is any of that accurate?
Of course not, you paranoid Conspiracy Theorist , your Government LUVS U and only has your best interests at heart. Likewise those compassionate altruists of Global Capitalism; they too wish only to see us live rich, fulfilling lives, free of conflict, war, hunger & pain.
If you don't believe us just ask Mephistipheles over there; he'll tell you it's * kosher *.
SIGN HERE.......
Then.......go back to sleep: we'll wake you when there are more wars to fight, sweat/blood to expend & graves to dig ( your own included. LOL )
