Here we go again, Labour, fresh off their high horse, now wants to bring in a digital ID system for Brits, dubbed the “Brit Card”.
Sounds harmless, doesn’t it?
Until you scratch beneath the surface and realise exactly what this is, it is digital control, plain and simple. It is another slick way of dragging us further into a surveillance state, where your every move, every purchase, opinion and social media interaction is logged, stored, tracked and analysed.
And for what? “Security”? “Efficiency”? We’ve heard it all before…
Mainly from Tony Blair, that says it all really.
Let’s not try and pretend that this hasn’t been in the pipeline for years. Covid was the testing ground, trying it with the vaccine passports - remember that?
The idea that you wouldn’t be allowed into a football match, a nightclub, or even your workplace without a digital stamp of approval from the Government.
They dangled your freedoms like a carrot in front of your nose; you comply, or you are locked out of society. That wasn’t a conspiracy theory; then it became reality - it was happening. And it took a mass public pushback to stop it, and stop it we did.
I was there, alongside Alan Miller and thousands of others, at the Together Declaration, lobbying MPs, giving media interviews, standing outside Parliament, and physically delivering a massive petition to No.10 Downing Street.
We fought it, and we beat it, but they haven’t given up. Brit Card is just version two of the same control mechanism.
Ask yourself this: Who decides what goes on this card? Your medical records? Your travel history? Your bank details? Social media posts?
What happens when the next emergency rolls around and suddenly that card is needed to access your pension, your fuel, or your local supermarket?

If you think it can’t happen here, take a look at China, the gold standard of authoritarian digital ID systems. Their citizens are scored, ranked, punished and restricted based on algorithms and data surveillance; that’s not freedom, that’s a digital leash.
This isn’t about safety, it’s about control. It’s about building an infrastructure that the government can weaponise at the click of a button.
Don’t think the next government, or the one after that, won’t abuse it; they will. Because when you give the state power, they always find a reason to expand it. Ask yourself why people who stood against Covid restrictions, lockdowns, and digital passports were branded “extremists” or “anti-vaxxers” and demonised. It’s because the state doesn’t like resistance.
We are not China, we are not a QR code society, we are a free people, or we were. If Labour thinks they’re going to sneak in Brit Card under some glossy campaign about progress or tech innovation, they’ve got another thing coming.
We said no last time, and we’ll say no again. We don’t need more state control, we need less, and we need politicians who trust the people, not tech that monitors them.
Brit Card is a red flag, and we must rip it down before it takes root.
They’re going to use the illegal immigration emergency to try and sell it to you, don’t be fooled!
