The Labour government in the United Kingdom is moving ahead with a sweeping plan to require every working citizen to carry a digital ID card — the “BritCard.” Prime Minister Keir Starmer pitched the initiative as a solution to illegal immigration and bureaucratic inefficiency, but critics argue it is nothing less than the foundation for a national government surveillance system.
A digital ID is a government-linked identity system designed to consolidate personal information, from banking and shopping data to health and vaccination records, into one centralized account. Unlike a physical driver’s license or passport that you keep in your wallet and control yourself, a digital ID exists online – stored in databases or apps that can be monitored, updated, or restricted by outside authorities like a national government.
Proponents say digital ID is more convenient and will reduce fraud, streamline access to public services, and modernize border enforcement. But critics warn it gives governments and corporations unprecedented power to track your movements, purchases, and even beliefs under the guise of “security” and “efficiency.”
In a recent post on X, independent journalist Michael Shellenberger laid out the alarming implications of digital ID for personal privacy – and why Britain’s move toward digital ID is likely a test run for rolling out the same policy the United States.
As he revealed, former Prime Minister Tony Blair has lobbied heavily for digital ID through the Tony Blair Institute, a shadowy nonprofit he controls. That effort has been backed by hundreds of millions of dollars in funding from Oracle founder Larry Ellison. Billionaire Bill Gates has likewise promoted centralized data systems as essential for public health and governance.
But what may seem like a European experiment is already creeping into the United States.
The Real ID Act, passed after 9/11, embeds microchips in driver’s licenses. Mobile driver’s licenses, introduced in states like California, allow Apple and Google wallets to store state IDs — a direct step toward a universal digital ID. Provisions buried in the Biden administration’s pandemic treaty negotiations with the World Health Organization also point toward the same model of a centralized, government-linked ID that could combine health records, financial data, and online activity under one account that the government has direct access to.
Far from protecting privacy, centralization makes citizens more vulnerable. Unlike today’s decentralized system, where a stolen credit card number does not expose medical records or social media accounts, a universal digital ID could function as a master key to unlock every corner of a person’s life. One breach would mean total compromise.
Civil liberties advocates also point out that once such a system exists, the temptation for governments to use it for censorship and social control will be overwhelming. A digital ID linking online accounts, banking, and healthcare would allow authorities to deny access to services, lock individuals out of financial transactions, or silence dissenters with the push of a button.
If Britain’s Labour government expected voters to embrace the BritCard, early signs suggest otherwise. A recent YouGov poll found Britons split on digital IDs, with 45 percent opposed and just 42 percent in favor.
Even the polling used to justify Starmer’s plan has come under fire. Surveys commissioned by the Tony Blair Institute framed digital IDs as convenient “apps” and clearly primed respondents by asking how often they felt inconvenienced without one.
Among those who stand to gain from digital IDs are corporations like Ellison’s Oracle, set to collect billions in contracts and transaction fees. From this perspective, digital ID looks less like public service and more like a collusion scheme where Big Tech gets even richer and the government gets even more control over the lives of everyday people.
Across the European Union, similar digital ID pilot programs are being pitched as solutions to border control problems and government efficiency, and biometric surveillance is becoming routine. Beginning October 12, the EU will roll out a new Entry/Exit System requiring travelers, including Americans, to provide fingerprints and facial scans upon arrival in 29 countries.
Officials say the policy will modernize border checks and curb overstays, but in practice it normalizes the collection and storage of sensitive personal data. What begins as a measure to track visitors’ movements can just as easily evolve into a broader system of digital monitoring.
For those still on the fence about digital ID, just consider that European governments are essentially copying the model pioneered by Communist China. In July, Beijing enacted a sweeping “Internet ID” law permitting citizens to register through a government app with names and facial scans. Each user is then issued a unique code that links to every online account.
The system is officially voluntary, but Chinese authorities are already pressuring e-commerce platforms, banks, and social media companies to integrate Internet ID, making it functionally mandatory.
Paired with China’s social credit system, the new ID could enable the state to reward “good behavior” with easier travel or school access, while penalizing those deemed “untrustworthy” by restricting loans, public employment, or train and flight access. In many local implementations, “untrustworthy” behavior includes administrative or civil infractions rather than criminal acts, giving officials broad latitude over who qualifies as “honest” or “faithful.”
Europe is marching toward China’s system of control, and the U.S. is not far behind. Digital IDs may be marketed as efficient and secure, but they are the framework for an anti-liberty surveillance state.
Bkmk
Oh, they’re very aware...
Why do you think nine councils rdcentl6 had the elections postponed...
Why there have been all ghost changes tonthe UK’s election laws since 2016...
They’re why the UK’s Deep State is going ahead with the digital ID plan.
Is that real?
Or is it something sci-fi which could be done?
And they can:
Turn off your car
Lock you out of credit card purchases
Turn off your electricity
Track your movements
True.
I have become outright cynical when it comes to government.
Liberals see this as being a conspiracy theorist.
I see it as accepting the fact that man is full of sin: gluttony, sloth, PRIDE, lust, wrath, ENVY, and GREEEED.
Government is man made, man run, and serves the interests of man.
I don’t even trust myself and fail all the time.
But I’m supposed to trust government?
I trust the government about as much as I trust Comey.
Agreed. And if we don't go digital ID, we'd still have problems like that. But we can avoid them by (speaking like the prepper in me LOL):
Removing the fuse in your car for internet connection.
Having most of your home powered from decentralized solar.
Having two car types -- one gas car and one EV -- so that the left would have to restrict both types of car energy (both gasoline and charging) to restrict your long trip driving.
By doing most local driving in the EV, the left can't stop your local transportation even if they restrict both gasoline and power (because you charge your EV with home solar).

And there will be those who see it as only technological progress.
And it is pretty cool 😎😎😎 stuff...
... UNTIL the wrong people get into POWER.
Witness Sir Keir Starmer, Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama, “Transgender Day of Visibility” Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, the financial and WORLD GOVERNMENT influential power of Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, George Soros, Larry Fink of Blackrock, etc. etc. etc.

DIGITAL ID: What Is It, and Why Should Americans Be Worried?
Actually, it was the 16th Amendment (16A; direct taxes) that initially weakened our 4th Amendment protections imo, breaking the ice for post-17th Amendment ratification (17A; popular voting for federal senators) activist judges to open the door for the corrupt, unconstitutionally big federal government to stick its big digital nose into our lives.
4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
16th Amendment: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
The 16th Amendment has become the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for organized crime imo, front-ended by deep state Congress, and desperately needs to be repealed imo.
On the other hand, forget the corrupt federal government!
It can be argued that post-17A ratification voters who are clueless about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers are mainly responsible for the unconstitutionally big federal government that is now oppressing the people under its boots.
More specifically, patriots need to wake up and consider that post-17A crook federal lawmakers discovered long ago that they could promise voters who did not understand the fed's constitutionally limited powers every unconstitutional federal social spending under the sun to get themselves elected. Constitutionally naïve voters eventually took the bait and not only elected these snake oil politicians, but reelected them too!
Then once in office, in addition to confirming compromised justices nominated by likewise compromised presidents, crook federal lawmakers began to abuse their 16A power by simply fulfilling their campaign promises for federal spending, using that power to unjustifiably raise taxes to pay for the constitutionally indefensible spending programs that they had promised to clueless voters on the campaign trail.
In fact, peacetime militia readiness aside, consider that since one of the very few MAIN powers that the states have actually given to Congress to dictate domestic policy is to make sure that mail is delivered in reasonable time, most federal domestic policy now based on state powers and uniquely associated state revenues (people's wallets), that Congress has stolen, and continues to steal from the states.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;" "It is one of a few government agencies explicitly authorized by the Constitution of the United States." (non-FR)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
The main constitutional duty of delivering the mail is probably one of the reasons why the Constitution's drafters required Congress to meet only once a year.
Article I, Section 4, Clause 2: The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year [emphasis added], and such Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by Law appoint a different Day.
Again, delivering the mail is basically most of what our votes for federal lawmakers win for us, voters still having no express constitutional power to vote for POTUS.
State "winner take all" laws for electoral votes for example, are nothing more than political party smoke and mirrors to let voters think that they are in control of who is in the Oval Office imo.
Constitution-impaired voters with too much voting power (17A and POTUS) can be compared with death and injury in activist states that give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants who can't read english. Drunk driving also comes to mind with respect to misguided 17A voters in context of feuding political party propaganda.
Regarding the unconstitutionally big federal government, PDJT47 supporters need to permanently preserve his legacy by destroying the elite Democratic and RINO corruption machine by making the repeal of 16&17A the main talking point of the 2026 primary elections.
More specifically, Trump's red tsunami of supporters, evidenced by his record-breaking win in 2024 elections, need to primary all state and federal popularly elected officials who refuse to publicly promise to support a resolution to propose an amendment to the states to repeal 16&17A in January 2027.
In fact, consider that a resolution to repeal 16A was introduced as recently as 2021, but was unsurprisingly ignored.
We'll call the repeal amendment Trump's Boston Tea Party II Amendment.
Once unconstitutional federal taxing and spending is stopped, the states will ultimately find a tsunami of new revenues that they probably won't know what to do with imo, healthcare, including taking care of the poor, and education, on the short list of priorities.

Except you know it's all a lie when the government isn't doing anything about illegal immigration NOW when they can, because there are laws on the books already and they can clean house in the government any time they want anyways. They don't need a digital ID card to keep tabs on the populace to eliminate bureaucratic inefficiency.
EXACTLY!
What we need is digital position location for every government employee. That way, if they deceive us, we know where to file our complaint. In person.
[They imported criminals from all over the world as an excuse to institute the Digital ID for all of us.
So they created the excuse.]
ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN:
Step 1: CREATE “The Problem”
Step 2: MAKE the Citizens Suffer
Step 3: PRESENT “The Solution”
Step 4: MAKE PARTICIPATION MANDATORY
