Digital ID is the biggest threat to freedom we currently face

It's not about your safety and making your life easier. It's about mass state surveillance, control and eventually a two tier social mobility and scoring system.

A Quick History

Rolling out Digital ID in the UK has been attempted a number of times over the last 20 years. Tony Blairs first attempt after the September 11th terror attacks were on a voluntary basis but were intended to become compulsory for certain professions. The full rollout of the scheme never occurred and was scrapped under the following coalition government of 2010 with all data on the central database ordered to be destroyed by then Home Secretary, Theresa May.

She stated that the move was intended to ‘consign identity cards and the intrusive ID card scheme to history.’ But it’s back and more dangerous prospect than ever under the current Labour government lead by Keir Starmer who has openly stated that he wants to implement this and is more ’Davos than Westminster’ ie WEF over UK Sovereign Parliament.

Multiple newspaper reports this week (22 September 2025) are indicating that the Government are preparing for a big announcement at their party conference of another attempt to implement Digital ID, with it being optional at first. Its primary purpose will be to control immigration, reduce fraud and make our lives easier.

The EU & WEF

Both the EU and the WEF are on record as supporting the widespread adoption of digital identity. The EU has a specific, legally binding framework with a target of 2030, while the WEF promotes the concept as a global economic and social catalyst. The EU aims to have 100% of its citizens with access to a digital ID by 2030. This is to be achieved through the EUDI Wallet, a mobile based digital identity for citizens, residents and businesses.

There has also been an ongoing debate on Personal Carbon Trading (PCT) It is a concept that has been a topic of academic and political discussion under the name Personal Carbon Trading (PCT). PCT is a theoretical "downstream" cap-and-trade system that would apply to individuals. In such a system, a national cap would be set for emissions from household energy use and personal travel, and each citizen would receive a periodic, free carbon quota that could be traded on a new market.

Digital ID is the first step in mass state surveillance and control over the British people. If this goes ahead they will eventually monitor every aspect of your life. Where you go, how you got there, what you did, who you went with, what you spent and if you step outside the government accepted narrative you will be punished with financial penalties, restrictions and your freedoms withdrawn.

It will be marketed as a solution to make your life easier, control fraud, tackle crime and illegal immigration. The truth is much darker and sinister.

Mass Surveillance & Access Control

Digital IDs are normally downloaded to your phone. It will track your every move and activity which will be fed back and stored in a central database. The centralisation of this personal data will allow governments and other entities to monitor your digital life and curtail your individual freedom and privacy. Tracking via your phone is only the start.

A Digital ID will become a prerequisite for accessing government services and people without one will be excluded. This will lead to a two-tiered society where those with Digital IDs have more rights and privileges than those without. This was the exact scenario with the Covid Passport; if you could not prove you were vaccinated you could not go out to a restaurant, a pub, a club nor use air travel.

Although this ID will be optional to start, we predict the government will begin immediately changing the law, as with the Online Safety Act, to require all providers to require users to register with a Digital ID to access their services. This includes;

• Utility Services, Internet Service Providers, Digital TV Subscriptions, Energy

• Social Media Apps, Messaging, Mobile Devices Profiles

• Doctors & Hospital Appointments, Healthcare Services, NHS App

• Opening A Bank Account, Starting Employment, Obtaining Credit Agreements

• Land Travel, Flight Travel, Fuel Purchases

• Store Cards, Shopping, Online Purchases

As soon as you use your Digital ID to access the above, the government will have access to all this data and will bring it into your digital profile.

This has already started;

• Social media companies within the updated Online Safety Act are now required to provide their data to government on users if required.

• Ongoing attempt to force Apple to provide backdoor access to user backups.

• New company directors now need Digital ID.

Punishments & Penalties

Now the Digital ID has become a prerequisite for accessing essential services, governments will be using AI to monitor your entire life and punishments will be applied automatically. If you have exceeded your travel allowance you will be stopped from purchasing electricity or petrol for your car, or using a train. If you go over your CO2 quota or buy goods that are non recyclable you will be stopped from buying more goods. If you say anything that someone finds offensive online, you will be punished with restrictions and app disabled.

This has already started;

• Bank of England have openly admitted they are working on a programmable digital currency that can turn on/off the ability to spend your own money on type of goods/services which can be used as a punishment or implement a quota.

• Energy companies can identify if an electric car is charging, thus they can provide information to government on household and individual everyday usage.

• NCHIs (Non Crime Hate Incidents) by their nature are not a crime, and with no evidence, they can be applied to your profile and appear on advanced DBS checks risking jobs opportunities.

• The UK have already advertised contracts for AI systems to monitor online activity and a special police force.

• In 2024 there were on average 30 arrests a day for online speech violations

• The EU has proposed and working on implementing a Personal Carbon Trading (PCT) quota scheme for every citizen

Hacking & Identity Theft

Centralised databases containing all this sensitive information are prime targets for misuse by governments and hackers. A single data breach could expose the identities of millions, leading to widespread identity theft and fraud.

Data breaches and hacks are happening daily especially within government;

• Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) Data Leak (2023): This was a significant breach where a spreadsheet containing the personal data of approximately 10,000 serving police officers and staff was accidentally published online in response to a Freedom of Information request. The data included names, ranks, and roles, which was a major security risk.

• Ministry of Defence (MoD) Afghan Data Breach (2022): A serious breach occurred when the personal data of Afghans who had worked with the British military was leaked. The information, which included sensitive details, put the individuals at risk. This incident was a key driver for a subsequent government review of data security.

• NHS Data Incidents: The National Health Service (NHS) has been a frequent target. In June 2024, a cyberattack on a supplier of pathology services to the NHS in South-East London led to the postponement of thousands of appointments and procedures. This highlights the vulnerability of the public sector's supply chain.

Timeline to dystopia…

Once we have Digital ID in place, it will be slowly become compulsory to access more and more services. Our believe is that the series of events will be;

• Compulsory Digital ID implemented by 2030

  • Simultaneous slow extension of the Online Safety Act to required all mobile apps to require Digital ID to function.

  • Digital ID a requirement to register for all utilities initially when moving house but then extended to all.

  • Passports and Driving licenses phased out and replaced with Digital ID

• UK Central Bank Digital Currency implemented by 2030

  • Quotas introduce initially for use of energy, fossil fuels and air travel.

• Complete Rollout by 2035

  • Accessibility to healthcare services and GP appointments using Digital ID only.

• China Style Social Credit Scoring (TBC)

  • Although the EU has stated this is not in their plans the WEF have reviewed and commented on the Chinese System many times.

Our believe is that a Digital ID is part of a larger state sponsored surveillance, control and enforcement system.

Maintain your freedom. Campaign against Digital ID.
