⚠️The Government is proposing a FIVEFOLD increase in Orwellian facial recognition snooping

"The idea of a self-policing prison through total surveillance as the model for Britain...

How could anyone not get a massive chill down the spine?" - @silkiecarlo

🧬The genetic data of over 500,000 UK Biobank volunteers were found for sale on a Chinese online marketplace

The same database was breached 198 times in the past year

Meanwhile, the UK government is planning to introduce a sweeping digital ID system.

This is a warning.

A population-wide database would create a honeypot for hackers and usher in a new era of mass surveillance, putting the privacy, safety, and dignity of millions at risk.

🚨News: Politicians have just voted away your online privacy & freedoms

Social media will be restricted for under-16s, the Government confirms.

This means that every one of us in the UK could soon need to submit to intrusive digital ID checks to access the internet fully.

This is a huge step back for free expression in Britain.

Worse still, the Government wants to impose this ban while an active consultation is still in progress.

Around the world, similar restrictions have failed to keep children safe. It is clear - a social media ban is not about children's wellbeing but a trojan horse for more surveillance and censorship.

Britain's net zero national suicide pact is about to kill off another great British (and great Derbyshire) company.

Denby Pottery @denbypottery goes into administration because of "soaring industrial energy costs" and of course "escalating costs of employment in the UK".

🆔NEWS: Cabinet ministers REFUSE to hand over department data to co-operate with digital ID plans. This reportedly includes:

🔸@wesstreeting refusing to hand over NHS data
🔸@bphillipsonMP on resisting documenting child’s special educational needs

It's clear that there's no trust in Starmer's digital ID plans - even within his government.

People need to read a bit about what happens when a government centralises control of the food supply.

[David Davis MP @DavidDavisMP]

The Government's digital ID scheme is deeply un-British, according to their own experts will make our data less secure, and hands the Government vast surveillance capabilities that we have seen they can and will misuse for their own ends.

[Silkie Carlo @silkiecarlo]

It only took until 4pm for the Govt to say "in time" the mandatory biometric digital ID will be used for renting, benefits, banking, age ID, nurseries, education, even voting....

These uses will not (initially?) be mandatory but likely will be made so after future moral panics

[Henry Bolton OBE 🇬🇧 @_HenryBolton]

The Digital ID isn’t about proving your identity to a police officer. It is about something called the Digital Wallet which, while couched in language of convenience will allow government and high tech companies to monitor, shape, control and restrict your behaviour.

[David Davis MP @DavidDavisMP]

The Government's plan for mandatory digital ID must be stopped in its tracks.

In the PM's own book, he discusses Article 8 of the ECHR: The right to respect for private and family life, home and correspondence.

[Andrew Bridgen @ABridgen]

Worried about Digital ID ? You should be. Unpopular Governments around the world are implementing it. Why ? Because if you say ‘yes’ to Digital ID you will never be able to say ‘no’ to the Government ever again and they know it.

[Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media]

"Digital ID is being pushed in the name of convenience and security—but in reality, it hands unprecedented control to governments, corporations, and unelected bodies."

"Once it's in place, they can decide who gets to participate in society... and who doesn't." 🎯

🚨BREAKING: We’ve obtained documents showing ALL our passport photos are being secretly searched in a police facial recognition database

A national ID system has been built by the backdoor - without the public or parliament’s consent

We’re taking action

“Farmers are land rich and cash poor. So we ended the estate tax. When a parent leaves a farm to the kids, they do not have to worry about their local banker coming in and stealing their farm.”

⚠️We warned about this

UK citizens are being forced to choose between handing over their most sensitive personal data to online platforms or being blocked from freely accessing the internet, as the Online Safety Act comes into force

These measures will have a catastrophic impact on privacy & freedom online. The Act needs to be urgently re-examined.

[Big Brother Watch @BigBrotherWatch]

⚠️The Government is considering forcing the entire UK population onto a digital ID scheme called ‘BritCard’’

An inquiry is now open & we've created an easy guide for you to say #No2DigitalID
