Thousands Protest Against Plans to Introduce Digital ID Cards in Britain

Thousands of civil liberties advocates gathered in London on Saturday to protest against the left-wing Labour Party government’s plan to impose digital ID cards on the nation.

Marching from Marble Arch to Whitehall in central London, demonstrators were seen carrying banners and placards reading “No to Digital ID”, “If You Accept Digital ID Today, You’ve Accepted Social Credit Tomorrow”, and “Once Scanned, Never Free”.

The protest came in response to plans mooted by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to roll out a “Brit Card” Digital ID scheme by 2029. Starmer initially pitched the plan as a means of combatting illegal migration under the assumption that tying the system to employment, shady businesses would be discouraged from hiring migrants under the table.

However, it has been reported that government officials are considering plans to vastly expand their use, potentially including a Digital ID requirement as proof of age when purchasing a pint in a pub. The government is also reportedly planning on issuing Digital IDs to children as young as 13-years-old

Big Brother Watch director Silkie Carlo said per the Daily Mail: “Starmer has sold his Orwellian digital ID scheme to the public on the lie that it will only be used to stop illegal working but now the truth, buried in the small print, is becoming clear.

“We now know that digital IDs could be the backbone of a surveillance state and used for everything from tax and pensions to banking and education. The prospects of enrolling even children into this sprawling biometric system is sinister, unjustified and prompts the chilling question of just what he thinks the ID will be used for in the future.

“No one voted for this and millions of people who have signed the petition against it are simply being ignored.”

Digital ID ........ "Getting there"
Electronic Banking only......... "Getting there and when achieved you are just a few key strokes and penniless.
Massive surveillance of citizens....... "Already done and increasing"
Freedom of Speech....... "Gone in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, most of Western Europe and under attack in the USA"
Planned hatred between races and nations for political gain....... "An ongoing political reality"
Thought crimes....... "Fortunately they can not read our minds yet"
Total Corruption of the justice system....... "Done deal"

Right now we are half way to George Orwell's fears as the writer expressed in his book "1984." It is happening my friends! If Donald Trump lost the last election we would have tipped into the tyranny of the left of "1984." PS He did not lose his reelection in 2020, it was stolen.

There is an odd difference between the "1984" media and ours today. In the book the media was just another branch of government, "The department of Truth." In contrast our media is an active non government agency that cooperates with our Deep State as a propagandist. There are exceptions in the Media but few.

If one reads "1984" and Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" the entire playbook of the left is plain to see. If you have not read them, please do. In my youth I read "1984" and loved it but considered entertaining fiction. I also read Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" and realized this was not fiction. A few years ago I read "1984" again. It horrified me as I realized his predictions of government and nations was becoming a reality.
