Sir Keir Starmer’s announcement of mandatory digital ID cards - dubbed “BritCards” - is being sold as a solution to illegal immigration. But, this is actually nothing more than a Trojan horse for mass surveillance, digital dependency, and state control over everyday life. Here’s why it must be opposed… and how we fight back.

🔍 What’s Being Proposed?

  • Every adult in the UK will need a digital ID to work, rent property, or access key services.

  • IDs will be stored on a government app, with physical alternatives for those without smartphones (so no, you can't just switch to Nokia)

  • The system will be checked against a central database to verify your right to live and work in Britain.

  • Starmer claims it will “clamp down” on illegal immigration and make life easier for law-abiding citizens.

But hold on? Don't we have passports, national insurance numbers and a whole bunch of other ways of verifying your right to live and work here? Something is a little fishy…
