Bev Turner on Britcard

Real journalist Bev Turner on Britcard, the UK government’s proposed mandatory digital ID. 👇 Make no mistake, they’ll push the same in ALL countries: digital ID and digital money (CBDC). 🤬 “Britcard is not about making your life easier. It’s about making you easier to track, control, and punish if you step out of line.“ “This is about building a centralised, state-controlled digital identity system that... will be used to link your finances, your medical history, your travel movements, your social media activity... and more.“ “It’s quite frankly a digital dog tag, and once it’s clipped around your neck, you will not be able to take it off.“ “The Britcard is the foundation of a surveillance state. Once in place it will become incredibly easy to expand—quietly, incrementally—until it is essential for anything you want to do.“ “And if you think this ends with digital ID... we are already seeing the slow creep of programmable money.“ “That means if your ID is flagged, limited or suspended... that will mean you can’t access your own money.“ “If we don’t draw the line here at Britcard, it may be the last line that we ever freely get to draw.“ “I won’t be living with you in a digital cage. I will do everything to remain outside of that system.“ Credit: @beverleyturner
