We need to make Digital ID Starmer's Poll Tax. They are unnecessary, dangerous and will do nothing to end illegal immigration. Everyone across the political spectrum must unite to oppose them.

Digital ID needs to be a referendum issue, and you can't vote unless you can prove you've watched or read 1984. There are of course benefits to a digital ID but those benefits are insignificant compared to the risks, especially when combined with CBDC and social credit score.

The digital id is useless without CBDC. They know it is. But CBDC needs digital ID in place before it can start implementing its social credit score system which must include conditional access to any kind of purchase. This makes no sense without hidden objectives.

In 1825, the Stockton and Darlington Railway opened in England. George Stephenson’s Locomotion No. 1 pulled wagons of coal and passengers alike. It was the first public railway to run on steam, with iron tracks that reshaped the world. #BookWormSat Art: John Dobbin

I have a driving licence to prove that I have passed a test to drive. I have a passport to prove my identity and nationality when I travel abroad. I don't need to prove who I am to anyone in my own country unless I choose to. I refuse to have a compulsory digital ID card.

I stand with @dhh because they’ll come for me next. Eventually they’ll come for you, too. It’s time we put our feet down and say “no” to these losers who demand everyone share their exact opinions or get smeared, fired, etc. Let’s usher in a new era of OSS: one where everyone…

Liberal Democrats cannot support mandatory digital IDs. People shouldn't be criminalised just because they don't want to hand over their private data.

Retweeted Owen Jones and Jeremy Corbyn today. Reminds me of that episode of Dungeons and Dragons where the children had to team up with Venger against an even larger threat. Digital ID is a convenience until it's the enabler of absolute tyranny, whether from the left or right.

This should absolutely terrify you. We live in an age of rising authoritarianism. The prospect of a right-wing authoritarian government in the UK is far from a fantasy. Combine with ever more sophisticated surveillance tech - and consider how dissent could be made impossible.

I firmly oppose the government’s plans for compulsory digital ID cards. This is an affront to our civil liberties, and will make the lives of minorities even more difficult and dangerous. It is excessive state interference — and must be resisted.

Having hardware problems on my new Framework Desktop so I'm still on my old PC for a little while longer. Meanwhile the Windows 11 nagging has gone to the next level and if I accidentally click a primary button after rebooting, Microsoft will "upgrade" me to 11. Run away!!
