After the COVID nightmare — lockdowns that crushed small businesses, vaccine passports that turned free men into scannable cattle — the UK elite won’t quit.
Now, they’re ramming digital IDs down the throats of everyday Brits, all under the guise of “border security.”
But we see through the smoke: it’s mass surveillance, a one-way ticket to a cashless, trackable dystopia where Big Brother owns your every move.
The people are roaring back—they’re fed up with this totalitarian overreach.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced plans Friday for a compulsory digital ID scheme, dubbed “BritCard,” requiring every adult in the UK to hold a phone-based identity document to prove their right to work by the end of Parliament in 2029.
Under the proposal, every working adult—citizens and legal residents—must carry a phone-based “Brit Card” for employment checks by parliament’s end.
The government claims it’ll curb illegal migration by starving the black market, while easing access to welfare, childcare, and NHS services.
Stored via a GOV.UK app with encryption, it builds on existing digital wallets — no physical carry required, they insist, but mandatory for jobs or rentals.
Starmer, speaking at the Global Progress Action Summit in London, defended the push, claiming, “It will make it tougher to work illegally in this country, making our borders more secure. And it will also offer ordinary citizens countless benefits, like being able to prove your identity to access key services swiftly—rather than hunting around for an old utility bill.”
A parliamentary petition titled, “Do not introduce Digital ID cards,” has garnered nearly 1.5 million signatures since its Thursday soft launch, up from 100,000, triggering a required government response and potential debate.
“We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at,” the petition states. “We think this would be a step towards mass surveillance and digital control, and that no one should be forced to register with a state-controlled ID system. We oppose the creation of any national ID system. ID cards were scrapped in 2010, in our view for good reason.”
From COVID tyrants to ID overlords, the elite’s playbook never changes — divide, digitize, dominate.
