    Dont know where to post this Albus if anyone interested

    Screenshot shows a newsletter image. Text reads: Your Party. Dear Cat, We're building a mass democratic movement for real change. In the past week we've seen thousands of people come out for Your Party meetings from Ealing to Birmingham. And tonight, Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana will together address a mass Your Party meeting in Liverpool. Tickets have sold out, but we'll be livestreaming the event from 7pm.

    Other than excessive government control, the obvious issue is data security. The systems are going to have an interface for the verification, they will be a prime target for attack. Only this week the company discord was using for data verification has been breached and data for 70000 people obtained.

    It's not adding any value to anyone's current situation.

    As it's digital, will the government provide people with smartphones. Will I also get a replacement in case I lose my smartphone? Will owning a smartphone become a legal requirement?

    In addition, since it's digital, it can easily be trafficked worldwide and misused, and thus safety and protection are also a concern. We can also be traced/tracked anywhere in the world by tracking our phones, as it's in our smartphones.

    Moreover, it's estimated that setting it up would cost £1.2 billion to £2 billion and £100 million annually for running costs.

    I think digital ID will be another track and trace app fiasco wasting billions of tax payers money on a ridiculous idea that will hopefully be fazed out as the public do not want it, and it would have constant problems with data breaches, technical problems etc all resulting in detrimental consequences for individuals with no help or assistance whatsoever when it implodes their lives!
    I would rather the government not waste more billions of tax payers money on a useless idea, being used for sinister purposes also it’s probably another scheme where some MP financially benefits from this! Cannot trust any government anymore especially when money is concerned! Or our freedom and rights are at risk!

    Also if implemented, what happens when people disagree with governments choices and want to protest? Are they stopped from accessing their own bank accounts, blocked from using their own money to buy food, will they force mandatory vaccinations on the public, put travel restrictions in place, the lists of things they could force on us is endless. Digital IDs is all about stealing more money from the poor to line the pockets of the rich, and removing our rights and freedoms.

    Hopefully the backlash would be so great that it would be ditched. Starmer seems to be Blairs puppet.

    My main concerns about a potential Digital ID include privacy risks, data security breaches, misuse of personal information, and loss of control over who accesses my data.

    I noticed last week Starmer (I nearly wrote Blair!) was very emphatically praising Trump re the middle east peace process. This is happening a lot. Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize and people are cosying up to him about it. Seems to be a bully-boy thing nowadays. I get the impression Norway was targeted for financial consequences after they gave this prize to a Chinese freedom writer.

    Spare martphone turned off in drawer maybe best solution if this really becomes mandatory. If so perhaps disable microphone and camera.

    Look at everything else being done at the same time as this is being pushed, including the revised request for Apple to break encryption for them. Break privacy basically. Or even the recent Universal Credit Bill and the way that is being handled (terribly for us). Look at the Post Office Horizon scandal as extra food for thought.

    It's a worrying plan all round.
