The Activist/Comedian Mark Thomas said it best (for my money at least):
"The thing about ID cards is: I don't need to be more accountable to the state, the state needs to be more accountable to me.
So in the spirit of transparency, offerty fuck Sir Kier."

Why mandatory digital ID cards - a policy no one voted for - are an attack on civil liberties, won’t tackle irregular employment and will only play into Reform’s hands: 👇🏽

The issues with ID cards are not really about whether they’re popular. Plenty of stuff is popular and still a bad idea. The key questions are
1) how they will be used, not just by this government but by any subsequent government.
2) who will be in charge of them? If the Home Office, then worry… 1/3

A majority of Labour party members - who are on any metric rather more socially liberal than the average voter - back ID cards. Plenty of polling showing they are popular with voters in general. Perhaps the zombie myth that British voters oppose them will die at last?

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
