DIGITAL ID: "Tony Blair is one of the few people who is honest about the intentions of the global leaders to push a biometric system" (Bev Turner)

Centralised government digital IDs pose greater risks to human rights than any technology that we have encountered

ID CARDS: "We know that from what
happened in Covid, there is a temptation for the state to overreach whenever the facility is there" (Miriam
Cates)

We don't want the state to have any more tools for surveillance & control

GOVERNMENT SPYING: "The Government is sneaking in new powers to spy on all of our bank accounts on the premise of dealing with welfare fraud & error"

More state overreach with Data Protection & Digital Information Bill

CBDC: A centralised "Digital Pound" almost certainly threatens mandatory Digital ID (Central Bank Digital Currency)

We must not have Digital ID as a pre-requisite to participate in society or the economy

DIGITAL ID FOR PUBS & BARS: "Technocrats' dream.. the push for digital ID is (increasing)" (Alan Miller)

This idea seems to be yet another undemocratic solution in search of a problem

But it potentially poses a grave danger to our freedoms

#DigitalID (Patrick Christys)

DIGITAL IDs: "Oh no! That's really bad"

We don’t need to be paranoid about Digital ID - we just need to learn from recent history

Though many would prefer to sweep it all under the carpet now, in 2021-22 we actually had a "Papers Please" society in the UK

Tony Blair and others told us this was our "new normal"

After huge pushback, we don't have that any more... but the threat of digital control never went away

If we don't actively shape the future, others will

CASHLESS SOCIETY: "Ridiculous, terrible" for politicians to promote cashless society - member of public

🚨 THE PUBLIC REJECTED NATIONAL DIGITAL ID. IT MUST NOT RETURN BY THE BACK DOOR.

GOV UK One Login has a claimed 23 million accounts - with more people being funnelled into it as further government functions and legal obligations move onto the system.

A basic email-and-password login is one thing. A reusable government identity system that becomes difficult or costly to avoid is something very different - as millions of company directors have already found.

There are also serious whistleblower allegations about One Login security concerns, reported by 'ITV News' 'Andrew Orlowski' 'Telegraph' among others.

Together is calling for:

1️⃣ FREEZE ONE LOGIN

No further rollout or expansion pending a genuinely independent review.

2️⃣ PROPER PARLIAMENTARY OVERSIGHT

No expansion unless strict safeguards for privacy and civil liberties are in place.

3️⃣ PROTECT NON-DIGITAL CHOICE IN LAW

Free, genuinely equivalent ways of dealing with government must always remain available.

Back-door Digital ID must not be allowed to emerge service by service, obligation by obligation.
