“Digital ID will never work as advertised, not only because keeping us safe is not… its intended function, but also… because too many people have learned that fundamental lesson of the last few years, which is to say it’s never about what they say it’s about.”
“Digital ID isn’t about keeping us safe. It’s about keeping us where they can see us. Where we can’t move or do anything without permission in advance. Too many people see and understand, and this is why it won’t work.”
“Too many have seen and understood that the motive behind the deliberate and cynical flooding of Britain, and of Europe, with people from outside… is designed primarily to create fear and division—fear and division that, as the oligarchs would have it, can only be fixed by digital ID for all.”
“Digital ID… won’t work because it’s not built and never was intended to make any of us safe but, on the contrary, to make the oligarchs safe—safe from us.”
“Digital ID won’t work because the sales pitch is supposed to be about making this country and the people living in it safe. But too many people see that the directors of the disastrous bad acting have nothing but contempt for this place, and for this people.”
“If you were looking for a hill to die on, it might as well be this one.”
Neil Oliver on “Brit Card”, the UK government’s new mandatory digital ID:
“Brit Card makes possible the tracking of your movements, what you post online, what protests you might attend, how you spend your money, and all of that data is stored forever. There would be no state-sanctioned opt-out… All citizens would become digitally visible to the state across every transaction.”
“What happens if you refuse to comply with some or other future diktat? Will you lose access to your funds? Will you have your freedom to move curtailed? BritCard is the road to a destination in which privacy itself is impossible—forbidden, in fact.”
“And, as always, it’s pitched as all for our own good and the ultimate C word, which is convenience.”
“I say no Brit Card for what it truly and obviously is: The pre-prepared, oven-ready solution that was written up before the problem it purports to solve even existed.”
“It’s my opinion that Brit Card was good to go… before the national borders were abandoned and the process began of shepherding into Britain hundreds of thousands of migrants.”
“If we let this happen, then all of the mechanisms for totalitarianism are handed to government, and to the transnational corporations, and unelected bureaucracies, and three-letter agencies pulling their strings.”
“By means such as this, the rights our predecessors fought and died for are transformed into privileges we may or may not be granted conditional upon every aspect of our behaviour.”
