Digital ID is the Final Lock of Your Handcuffs by Keir Starmer’s Communist Regime
They’re selling us a solution to a problem they created!
If you haven’t read Labour’s BritCard proposal (for a mandatory digital ID) you need to. It’s entirely focussed on cracking down on illegal migration, targeting rogue landlords who rent to illegal migrants, and employers who hire them, all of which are already covered by existing laws and enforcement systems. Instead of properly using the tools they already have, they’re pushing for you to accept a digital ID.
Let’s be clear: mass illegal migration is a real issue. It absolutely exists. But this isn’t just a failure of policy or enforcement; it’s entirely manufactured to justify a solution they’ve been planning for decades. This isn’t incompetence, it’s strategy. The chaos is the excuse. The control was always the goal.
Now, let’s break down the basic logic…
The facts (not speculation):
📛UK population (ONS): 68.3 million.
📛 Estimated “unauthorised/undocumented” residents: 800,000–1,200,000 =1.2%–1.8% of the population (midpoint 1.46%).
📛Legal foreign-born residents: 11 million (16–18%).
Legal migrants and foreign-born nationals who live and work in the UK already have eVisa’s.
So: the “problem” the state says it needs a universal surveillance system to fix is about one and a half per cent of the country.
Now the rest, let’s connect the dots:
Sir Keir Starmer is pushing a mandatory digital ID for 100% of the population; a permanent, interoperable platform tied into employment, housing, health and welfare – to “manage migration.” That’s not proportionate. It’s not targeted. It’s universal control dressed up as a technical fix. Ask yourself: why spend political capital and taxpayer pounds rolling out a nationwide identity system when the issue they point to as the excuse (the problem they created) is 1–2% of the population? Why convert your phone and your life into a state-issued wallet when the people they call “illegal” are in reality, such a small share?
Because the scheme does far more than “manage migration.”
📛It creates a permanent, searchable map of all our interactions with the state.
📛It normalises “papers please” checks for every GP visit, tenancy, job and benefit
📛It hands bureaucrats and contractors the keys to monitor, profile and control behaviour at scale.
Big Brother Watch warns this is exactly the risk: function creep, profiling, exclusion and a society increasingly run on checks and permissions, not rights. It’s a slippery slope from “right to work” checks to everyday conditional access.
Now read the likely script:
📛Amplify a public panic about illegal migration (loud headlines, images, fear).
📛Present universal digital ID as the panacea – “we need to control borders, so everyone must be on the system.”
📛Lock in infrastructure, laws, and data flows. Once the system exists and everyone uses it, expanding its reach is trivial.
📛Next stop: surveillance marketplaces, private sector hooks, social credit style nudges, and a default posture of compliance.
Why this stinks:
📛The state wants total visibility. Not because that’s the only way to stop dodgy employers or alleged traffickers, but because total visibility is power.
📛The tiny numerical scale of the “problem” does not justify universal loss of privacy and freedom.
📛History shows “temporary” ID rules become permanent. “For the few” always becomes “for everyone.”
📛Once your life is a digital record tied to state credentials, the balance between citizen and subject has already shifted.
‼️Call to action‼️
Write to all the government or government funded institutions you are now dealing with (e.g. taxman, healthcare, city council etc) and inform them you do not own a mobile phone and/ or access to the Internet or e-mail and demand they communicate with you by post/ landline only.
Unless they provide it to you for free.
No device. No digital.
Likewise they cannot force you to consent to their Terms & conditions but this is tier 2 action.
This is CoVid 2.0 run again.
No one is coming to save you. This is entirely on you. Do not comply.
