What do you think about UK Digital ID cards?
As the government web page (below) clearly shows, there is undeniably a Conservative plan to introduce digital ID cards at some point.
Smooth talk from the government…
No doubt the behavioural scientists will be hard at work, crafting promotional messages in a way that will try to sleepwalk us into allowing bureaucrats to know our every move.
Believing everything that comes from the government and the media about the introduction of digital ID Cards, and the inevitable message that this plan is positive and beneficial for one and all, could be a monumental mistake.
You might take note of soothing and calming phrases like “trust framework” – “better user experience” and “People can confidently verify themselves”.
To the uninitiated, the use of “nudge” words and phrases could make digital ID cards sound like a jolly good idea, and why wouldn’t you want one.
By “salami slicing” the introduction of digital ID cards, it is intended we will be like frogs being slowly heated to boiling point without realising what is happening to us, and the way of life we value..
Here’s the awful potential…
Digital ID cards have been in use in communist China for some time. In China, you’re digital ID is used to calculate whether you are a good person or a bad person (in the eyes of whoever is in charge).
Your access to jobs, benefits, bank accounts, travel abroad, public transport and all the normal enhancements you might expect in the twenty first century, can easily be granted or cancelled for you at the click of a mouse.
You might feel safe right now, but could you imagine what life might be like if an idea logically possessed political operator like Mark Drakeford, or Pierre Trudeau was pressing the buttons, or heaven forbid, a psychopath like Vladimir Putin?
While the virtue signallers are busy scrubbing “I’ve had all my jabs” stickers off their Facebook pages, and replacing them with blue and yellow flags, let’s not allow grandstanding politicians to sweep important domestic politics under the nearest bit of carpet.
Introduction of digital ID cards in the UK would indeed be salami sliced. They would probably be voluntary at first, and after a number of “necessary updates”, they would likely become a compulsory and inescapable part of your daily life.
Once it becomes law, you’d find little opportunity to regain the freedoms you’d casually given away.
Your life under a bureaucrat’s microscope…
In my opinion, digital ID cards should be fought against tooth and nail… What do you think?

NOTE
There is currently (March 2022) no live national petition attempting to overthrow the introduction of national Digital ID Cards…
Here’s the good news…
If you’re searching for a political party that is fully against the introduction of digital ID cards, and the idea that the government should seek to control your life through technology or any other means, there is at least one political party you can vote for.
Reform UK have confirmed that they are fully against the introduction of Digital ID Cards… no ifs no buts…

We desperately need a political party that puts British people first and foremost. A party that will get immigration under control, scrap this green agenda and it’s ridiculous increases, get us out of the EU completely and make us energy independent.
The only way to do that is to look outside the two-party system. There are a number of smaller parties that are pointing in the right direction, but the only one that is growing rapidly in support is Reform UK – which is now the fastest-growing political party in the country.
Before you decide what to do, you might like to take a look at reform UK’s website, where you will find links to their various policies and plans…

Absolutely Not. I have a driving licence and a passport
. Is enough. And it is my choice whether or not I keep them
I am a HERITAGE PARTY member.
I hope that we can work closely with REFORM PARTY, as their ideals and aims are very similar.
Is it possible to be a member of both these parties ?
Of course you can! Everyone is welcome in Reform UK who is interested in common sense policies and objectives.
As I understand it, the leaders of the Reclaim Party, Heritage and other small parties have been approached by Reform UK, in an attempt to get us all under one flag, to create a serious opposition to the two-party state. However, this has not been successful.
While many small parties have something relevant to say, it looks like Reform UK is the one that is growing.
If you appreciate the analogy – Once upon a time, there were many search engines, but Google became the most popular one and the others tended to fade away.
Why not join Reform UK, get involved and let’s fight together against a political system that does not work for everyone.
You can still keep your links with David kurten, He is a good chat with plenty to say – although, it doesn’t look like there is much potential for effective growth in the Heritage Party as things stand…
Other countries have them and it works. If you have nothing to hide can’t see any problems.
I can’t see a problem either. Can imagine it would make life harder for illegals
No issues at all with digital ID. Many countries in the world already have this, including a lot of European nations. We are not China or Russia – the perceived risks are not really relevant and in any case are far outweighed by the advantages.
