I stood as a candidate for The Brexit Party in Bethnal Green and Bow and now campaign for freedom against the New Normal

So Chris Whitty now admits it wasn’t a great idea to confine millions of Brits indoors to fight a respiratory virus it was very hard to catch outdoors.
“It happened almost by accident,” says the Covid scientific genius.
No words.

FREE SPEECH: Don't think Digital ID cards threaten your free speech? Think again...

From the BritCard report: "Digital identity can help tackle some of the most difficult challenges facing government, such as... harmful online content"

What does THAT mean?

🛂 Licence to use the internet?
State-controlled Digital ID could become a precondition to log on at all. No ID, no access.

🔍 Every comment tied to your ID?
No more anonymity online. Every post, tweet, or like could be permanently linked to your state-issued identity.

🚫 Chilling effect?
If you know the government can see and trace your speech easily, will you still feel free to criticise ministers, policies, powerful corporations?

📑 Blacklist potential?
Labels like "misinformation," "hate speech," "harmful content" - even increasingly "terrorist" - are vague and politically elastic.

🔒 Access control?
Platforms could be forced to ban accounts that don’t verify through Digital ID, effectively locking out anyone who refuses to comply.

⚠️ Surveillance creep?
Once tied to your speech, your ID could be cross-checked with your bank account, travel records, or even employment status. Speaking out might carry even more costs.

Do you trust @Keir_Starmer and this govt with this power? Do you trust anyone and everyone who might gain power in future?

State controlled, compulsory digital ID cards are a threat to all our hard-won rights - we must say NO

👉 Why A Compulsory Digital ID Card Is Nothing Like Your Passport - And Far More Dangerous

Keir Starmer & the UK government are trying to present digital ID cards like they're just "modernized" versions of a passport or driving licence. But they’re not - they’re far more risky. Here are 5 reasons why:

👉 1. Passports & driving licences are fixed records - a digital ID could track your every move

Passports/Licences: Your UK passport or driving licence is just a piece of paper or plastic with your name, photo, and date of birth. It doesn’t follow you around or update itself.

Digital ID: A state-controlled, compulsory digital ID card would almost certainly connect to government databases. Every time you use it - for example at a shop, GP surgery, or online - it could record where you were, when, and what you did. For example, India’s Aadhaar digital ID logs when people use it for things like banking or benefits, creating a trail of their lives. A compulsory digital ID card could track your daily activities in a way passports never could.

👉 2. Passports & driving licences have specific uses - a digital ID could control your whole life

Passports/Licences: You use your passport to travel abroad or your driving licence to drive. That’s about it - they’re not needed for everyday tasks.

Digital ID: A compulsory UK digital ID could become required for opening a bank account, renting property, getting healthcare, or even getting online or accessing venues. Imagine needing it to log into online services or prove your identity at work. In Estonia, their digital ID is used for banking, taxes, and more. If the UK makes a digital ID the key to everything, you might not be able to live normally without it. Think of the millions of people who already struggle with tech. Only a few short years ago in Covid, we saw how digital ID “passes” were used to restrict your access to society for the “wrong” behaviour.

👉 3. Passports & driving licences can’t be mass-tracked - a digital ID makes surveillance simple

Passports/Licences: Your passport gets checked at the airport, or a police officer looks at your licence. The government can’t instantly see everywhere you’ve been.

Digital ID: A digital ID tied to a database could let the government - or hackers, fraudsters, stalkers or other criminals - check your movements, purchases, or even who you meet, all in seconds. In China, digital IDs are linked into a wider patchwork of surveillance systems. Travel, spending, and even online activity can be monitored and used in various local or national “social credit” schemes, which punish or restrict people for rule-breaking. No-one should want the UK allowing a similar system of surveillance and control to develop.

👉 4. Losing a passport or driving licence isn’t catastrophic - but a digital ID breach could expose everything

Passports/Licences: If you lose your UK passport or driving licence, you report it, get a new one, and move on. No one learns your medical history or bank details.

Digital ID: If a UK digital ID database gets hacked, it could potentially leak your NHS records, benefit claims, travel history, or more. Journalists reportedly bought admin access to India’s Aadhaar digital ID database on the black market - for about £6! Personal data from millions was exposed: names, ID numbers, even bank accounts. A UK system could hold just as much sensitive information, and you can’t simply “replace” your entire life’s data if it’s stolen. And the UK state has shown time and again it cannot keep data safe - the Afghan data breach scandal is only the most recent example.

👉 5. Passports & driving licences are offline - a digital ID lives online

Passports/Licences: Your passport or licence sits in your wallet, unconnected to anything until you show it.

Digital ID: A UK digital ID would likely work online or on your phone, sending your data across networks every time you use it. Even if it works offline, it might sync data later. This constant connection makes it easier for someone to track or steal your information, unlike a passport that stays in your pocket.

👉 In short:

👉 Your UK passport or driving licence is a bit like a library card - you use it for one specific job, then put it away.

👉 Compulsory digital ID cards could be like a GPS tracker on your life, recording and linking everything you do.

👉 With powerful modern technology, the risks aren’t just bigger than a passport - they’re on a completely different scale…

...and far greater even than the last time Tony Blair tried to impose compulsory ID cards, scrapped in 2010 at a cost of up to £20bn to the taxpayer.

Amendment 441 to the #Leadbeaterbill by @RachaelMaskell preventing hospices from being forced to provide #assistedsuicide was defeated 17-4. Last chance for hospices to lobby MPs to defeat this bill. @hospiceuk @stoswaldsuk @StJosephHospic ...

The farmers’ death tax is shabby, will stoke food price inflation and could seriously undermine this country’s ability to feed itself. Labour’s policies are ill-conceived and rushed with a strong whiff of class prejudice, aimed at thousands of farming families perceived as wealthy but in reality seriously cash-strapped

A Labour peer berated critics of budget for groaning. I noted: AKA accountability. Gov pretends increase in employer national insurance contributions = an attack on bosses. Doesn't mention costs to small businesses eg hospices/GPs even tenant farmers (excuse to mention #FarmerProtests)
