NO2ID joined with our friends at Big Brother Watch, Liberty and the Migrants’ Rights Network, along with David Davis and Siân Berry to hand in 38 Degrees’ NO2DIGITALID petition to 10 Downing Street. (This was separate to the ongoing Parliamentary petition, which will have a Parliamentary debate on 8th December.)
It was Remembrance Day, making the Government’s recent decision to promote its mandatory ID scheme with ‘Veteran ID cards’ seem even more tone-deaf. We did have identity cards in the UK during WWI and WWII, and very briefly under the last Labour Government – the Starmer Government might do well to recall the result of Blair’s ID ambitions last time…
If you would like someone from NO2ID to talk about the ID plans with your group or on your podcast, please do get in touch by sending an e-mail to hello@no2id.uk
Big Brother Watch have posted a video of the day:
