Digital ID.26 Sep 2025 19:57
So, the Government is set to make it a legal requirement to have a digital ID, claiming this will stop illegal migrants arriving from France, lol.
We know this is a lie. The primary reason migrants cross from France is the prospect of free money, hotels, and ultimately houses, all courtesy of the taxpayer. More pertinently, those working in the black economy don’t require ID.
Which begs the question: why the deception, and what’s the real agenda behind forcing us all onto a vast state-run identity system?
The answer: Mass Surveillance and Control.
Government, especially dictatorial socialists, crave ever more oversight of our lives. They see themselves as morally superior, uniquely positioned to decide what we should and shouldn’t engage in, say, or think.
This is primarily done through nudge taxation: sugar tax, levies on cigarettes and alcohol, flights, even the type of car we “choose” to drive.
The trading restrictions many have experienced on ii and HL recently, or the inability to trade crypto? That’s because you can’t be trusted with your own money.
TFL won’t allow you to advertise a wedding cake or even a lump of cheese on the billboards of the London Underground, just in case you’re then tempted to eat such things. Yet a religious hate preacher advertising financial planning for “morally aligned” clients? That’s fine, apparently.
The same goes for advertising swimwear or holidays. An attractive model in trunks or a bikini? Banned for promoting “negative” body image. But adverts featuring groups of oppressed women covered head to toe in black at the behest of their male owners? That’s all just dandy. TFL knows best.
The next rung on the ladder is restricting our online activity, the content we can access, the books we can read in schools, and those available in public libraries. All of which the Government is actively engaged in. Apparently C.S. Lewis is now “too Christian,” Dahl is downright offensive, and Tolkien a white supremacist. One-way blasphemy laws are already under construction.
At the more pernicious end of the scale, we might be debanked for having the wrong opinions, have our movement restricted through PSPOs and Section 35, arrested for merely protesting, or even imprisoned for sharing views the state would rather remain unheard.
Do we really want to surrender more control to these people?
Digital ID won’t enable you to do anything you can’t already do. Its only function is restriction.
The list of activities requiring digital ID will expand, transport, basic access, even daily interactions, until the Government can monitor your activity in real time and restrict it at will. All for your own good, of course.
Meanwhile, brace for the inevitable data breach when some careless Minister misplaces a laptop or accidentally copies Kim Jong Un into the email chain.
