Now I'm scared

TheCatWoman

Starmer has announced that he's introducing digital ID cards and as yet theres no alterantive for those of us with no smart phones, althought "they're going to consult" on it, who with or how we don't know. But quite frankly this news has me really scared, terriied, I'm shaking and may have to take some anti-anxiety meds. 

I can see a situation where my Mum, me and a few of our neighbours are going to be illegal in our own country and unable to access services.

  • There is a petition on the parliamentary website and the more people that sign it the less likely they are to proceed with it (as it has already reached 100,000 they will discuss the petition in parliament):

    https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/730194

    with the title: 

    Do not introduce Digital ID cards

    and this description:

    We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

    More details

    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.
