"If you're looking for a hill to die on, this might be it."
Neil Oliver sounds the alarm on the UK government's proposed mandatory digital ID, the "Brit Card":
"Brit Card enables the state to track your movements, monitor your online activity, see what protests you attend, how you spend your money and all of it stored permanently. There’s no opt-out. Every citizen becomes digitally visible in every transaction."
"And if you disobey a future mandate? What then? Will your access to money be frozen? Will your freedom to move be restricted? This is the road to a future where privacy isn't just lost, it's outlawed."
Oliver warns that, like so many state overreaches, it’s being sold as “for your own good”and of course, under the banner of convenience.
"I reject the Brit Card for what it clearly is: a ready-made solution that was designed long before the 'problem' even appeared."
He continues:
*"In my view, Brit Card was waiting in the wings, ready to be rolled out, long before borders were quietly erased and hundreds of thousands of migrants were ushered into the country."*
*"If we allow this to pass, we are handing over the keys to full-blown authoritarianism to the government, unelected bureaucrats, transnational corporations, and the shadowy three-letter agencies behind them."*
> *"Rights our ancestors died to secure are now being reframed as privileges—granted or denied based on how well we obey."*
This isn't just about ID. It's about control.
