Do not introduce Digital ID cards

[ANTIHEROTAYLORSWIFT]

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

We all have ID numbers already. We have National Insurance (NI) numbers and NHS numbers. You can’t get a job without an NI number, unless you work for a corrupt vape shop/nail bar/car wash/…. owner. These people don’t check people’s entitlement to work now, so they won’t be asking for your ID card either.

Spot on. The government aren't clamping down on these now so why would that change just because digital ID cards come in.

Exactly. People are missing this basic point. They don’t check what is needed now, another version doesn’t change that.

Nonsense.

What are people who don't have a passport or driving licence supposed to do?
If they need ID for purposes that benefit them, then they can apply for a passport. It's voluntary.
Why do they want to switch to a compulsory system? - it's for the Government's benefit, not ours.

87% of the population have at least one passport according to the 2021 census. You have to prove your right to work to be employed in the UK.

if you don’t have an ID document you have the right to apply for a passport.

You haven’t convinced me this isn’t a waste of time and money yet.

In some countries that have Digital ID, you can't even buy food or book travel without using it. I'm not saying that would happen here but I am ever increasingly suspicious of what could happen.

I’m not signing

I support them.

I bet they model this on China's social credit system. So criticise government policy on Mumsnet and loose access to your bank account. Oh joy!

🤣🤣

How will it stop them?

Some on here would love that. As crazy as that is.

Signed It. It’s only the law abiding people and employers that ALREADY use traditional ID, that will be made to go along with this. The ones subverting the rules still will.
It’s a pointless and expensive COVID passport by another name, only worth having as a method of control/surveillance.

Brownie points for you under Keir Stalin's new regime! I'm being sent to the gulag.

Love the party above all else. No wrongthink allowed.

I’m for a digital ID card. At the moment everything is separate… HMRC account, UC account, NHS account. This will combine them and mean less struggling to find different logins and passwords.

It’s only the law abiding people and employers that ALREADY use traditional ID, that will be made to go along with this. The ones subverting the rules still will.
Absolutely.
Interesting to note that the current law about employers checking ID was introduced last time Labour were in Government. They now want to extend it. What next?

Don't you realise that that is precisely the problem? All your information in one place!! It's a hacker's dream.

the online safety act will incorporate the digital id.
you’ll then be required to sign in to social media using your digital ID.
dissent of any form can be recorded by the government.

it’s a socialist dream state.

sadly I don’t think the conservatives, greens, or Lib Dem’s will reject this idea.
wonder if Reform will.

According to sky news, although they are saying we have to have digital ID cards, Keir Starmer claims we won’t have to show them! So makes you wonder what the point in the government making us have them doesn’t it! I agree with you, it’s digital slavery by manipulation!

And. 52% of people who voted in the Referendum voted leave and look where that got us.

Increased food prices.

Restrictions for UK citizens travelling to, living and working in the EU.

Harder for EU citizens to do the same here, which ironically has led to an increase in non EU nationals working here. Suddenly a lot of the overseas staff coming here to work legally in hospitality and care work are from Africa instead of Poland and Bulgaria. I bet those who thought that voting leave would magically make all the foreigners disappear weren't expecting that to happen.

I’ve signed, many thanks ANTIHEROTAYLORSWIFT for posting the petition here.
Rob Laurie on bbc radio 4 this morn, interviewing contacts as to whether ID cards would hinder ‘immigrants’ = Absolutely not, it simply adds another money making source to the criminal gangs who’ll just sell illegal id cards.

Sorry, I’m in favour too.

I suppose the numbers signing at least shows the government how many halfwits there are in the country. Not a question that could be reasonably asked on the census!

I will not comply.
