Digital ID for every adult is not progress. It is the end of a free society dressed up as convenience.
I am a cyber security specialist. This is my take.
They are selling it as a fix for illegal migration. That is bollocks.
We spend hundreds of billions a year on cyber security and yet the volume of breaches is breaking records. The threat is growing faster than the spend.
Digital ID will not stop boats. It will not stop trafficking gangs. It will not fix a broken border.
Criminals will work around it.
Honest citizens will pay the price.
It builds giant data banks that track where you go, what you buy, what you read and who you speak to.
It links your identity to every checkpoint in daily life.
One breach and your life is exposed.
Look at Jaguar Land Rover and the airports in recent weeks. Now imagine that at national scale on an ID system tied to everything you need to live your daily life.
Here is the risk that ministers will not admit.
Ransomware seeded through a supplier or an insider:
It lies quiet for months. It rolls through the backups. On trigger day the register and the recovery sets are both encrypted.
Payments fail. Health and benefits stall. Borders slow. Citizens are frozen out until a ransom is paid or the state rebuilds from scratch.
Centralise identity and you centralise failure.
Do not fall for the pitch.
Function creep is certain. It starts as login.
It becomes access to money, travel, speech and public services.
It turns rights into permissions controlled by the state and its contractors.
It creates a single point of failure for criminals, insiders and hostile states to target.
It will punish the elderly, the poor and anyone who is not always online.
It will centralise risk and outsource blame.
It will not stop fraud.
It will not stop illegal migration.
It will build the machinery for a social credit system by stealth.
If ministers cared about the border, they would enforce current laws, resource patrols and processing, close loopholes and remove those with no right to stay.
You do not need a national ID to do any of that.
We scrapped ID cards in 2010 for a reason.
Britain does not need a central register to prove age or status.
Yes to privacy first proofs. No to a database state.
🚨NEW: Keir Starmer has handed over the control of the Gibraltar border to the European Union & Spain
Brits will now have to show passports to Spanish or EU guards to enter.

Non-stun/halal slaughter isn't farming, it's torture.
Freedom of belief does not mean freedom to inflict a cruel and brutal death upon millions of animals. It is un-British.
We should ban halal slaughter, and we should ban kosher slaughter.
My contribution in Parliament today.
🇬🇧 UK Anti-Terror programme Prevent labels cultural concerns about mass migration as its top "extreme right-wing terrorist ideology".
Under these guidelines, David Cameron and Suella Braverman would be considered 'terrorists' for stating "multiculturalism has failed".
@TheTeawrex Someone calling someone a parasite while defending a company that steals artwork. A lot of parasiting going around these days. "I hate this parasite but these parasites are good because theyre my friends"
@Johntheduncan oh no he's listening to what the majority of brits have to say about immigration, OURAGEOUS, he's been appealing to the minority for far too long, he was sat the wondering why labour had barely any votes, this i think is his FAFO moment, also prove to me enoch powell was wrong
@p_dinheiro sovereignty and culture comes first, then fixing underlying issues, its all well good having a good standard of living but... for who? the way its going the native population wont have that until immigration is sorted out
