FREEDOM: "Our children and grandchildren will inherit either a world of control or a world of freedom"

"If we don’t stand now, they’ll carry the burden of tyranny"

"That’s what’s at stake, and it’s worth fighting for"

Nathan Anderson at our 25 April Scrap Digital ID event in Belfast

@alanvibe @ThatAlexWoman @TalkTV No to digital surveillance state! Insist Together

If you’re interested in censorship-resistant social media, take a look at Nostr.

It’s an open protocol rather than a company-owned platform. Your identity belongs to you, posts are cryptographically signed, and they can be published through multiple independent servers (“relays”). If one relay bans you or disappears, you can switch to others without losing your identity or audience.

It’s a simple idea with potentially huge implications for online freedom: https://t.co/OXgnZaA4bD

"The issue with calling a majority of the British public people 'far right', is it loses any sense of meaning"
@alanvibe

Instead of resorting to name-calling, we should discuss ideas and address concerns, from all viewpoints

That’s how society progresses

Sainsbury's has suspended its live facial recognition technology at one of its London branches after a customer "wrongly challenged and thrown out of store"

"What upset me was thinking this is what the future could be – people just listen to what the machine tells them to do without thinking about the consequences," said victim Matt Arnold

@sainsburys

[Alan D Miller @alanvibe]

Exactly
Which is why we have all fought back & held it back in Britain in the form of digital ID cards. Yet it continues via One Login & Gov UK App & infrastructure. The fight to ensure we don’t have to Digirally verify to participate & exist : with a biometric surveillance state - continues. Together

USA: "Rogue police officers turned nationwide Flock camera network into tool for stalking"

"Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime, but at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems"

We're told we shouldn't fear surveillance tech if we've "nothing to hide" - but what about those in power with something to abuse?

[Together @Togetherdec]

It's worth thinking about what crime means in Britain in 2026.

Is it not the case that statements like yours could, depending on their context and how they're expressed, potentially cross into criminal territory?

Worth pondering when considering surveillance of everyone to "catch criminals."

Facial recognition is moving into London Underground stations.

British Transport Police say facial-recognition data belonging to innocent people is quickly deleted.

But you have no practical way to check whether your scan was deleted, copied or used elsewhere.

We are simply expected to trust the system.

Mass biometric identity checks should not become a routine condition of travelling around.

There is no proper democratic mandate for the scale of what is now planned.

Tell your MP: stop the facial recognition rollout 👇

A common misconception: CCTV is NOT the same as facial recognition technology.

CCTV records what happens. Facial recognition scans the people in footage and checks their faces against a watchlist - automatically, at scale and usually without their knowledge or choice. Police claim images are deleted, but that relies on trust in systems we can’t easily verify. Once this infrastructure exists, it’s hard to limit how it’s used.

Britain rejected arbitrary state searches more than 250 years ago - but facial recognition brings the practice back in digital form: scan everyone first, despite having no suspicion against them.

[Together @Togetherdec]

The national Digital ID scheme has been scrapped, says @AndyBurnham. Good. Now we must stop a similar system creeping back into everyday life - checkpoint by checkpoint.

And a new proposal to introduce digital checks when buying alcohol shows how that infrastructure could spread - one everyday transaction at a time.

The draft Licensing Act 2003 (Mandatory Licensing Conditions) (Amendment) Order 2026 would allow digital proof of age to be used when buying alcohol.

But simply showing a digital ID on your phone would not be enough.

It would have to be checked electronically through a government-registered digital verification service.

Sounds like a digital checkpoint at the point of purchase: the system confirms whether you pass, @UKLabour @ukhomeoffice?

For now, digital checks would remain optional and physical ID could still be used. That choice must be permanently protected - not weakened once the digital infrastructure is established.

This draft Order has not yet become law. It must be approved by both Houses of Parliament - and either House can reject it.

A backdoor digital ID system must not be introduced checkpoint by checkpoint without the public noticing what is being built.

Do we have this right?

Sadiq Khan has produced another study claiming ULEZ is a great success. A study that:

- Was partly funded by his own office

- Covers the entire "lockdown" period

- Comes from Queen Mary University @QMUL - the same university where leaked emails showed Khan’s deputy, Shirley Rodrigues, asking academics to "reword" a previous study after it found "no evidence" of benefits to children’s lungs

Her complaint? "It reads like LEZ or similar have no impact at all."

Surely not, @MayorofLondon?!

[Together @Togetherdec]

@tomcopley @QMUL @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan It's extraordinary alright!

@metecoban92 @SadiqKhan "Independent" but part funded by the Mayor's office... and it came from QMUL... now where have we heard about QMUL and ULEZ before?
