No to Digital ID cards

Across the country, people are coming together to discuss and challenge the government’s proposed “BritCard” — a compulsory digital identity system.

 

The policy would mean every adult is required to register for a Digital ID in order to access work, benefits, banking, or public services. Supporters say this could improve security and reduce fraud. But civil liberties groups, charities, and community leaders have raised concerns about data protection, privacy, and the risk of excluding people without digital access.

 

Already, more than 13 people have started petitions on this issue — showing just how strongly the public feels. Campaigners believe this is just the beginning of a much wider national conversation about rights, identity, and technology.

 

From pensioners worried about digital exclusion, to parents concerned about children’s data, to professionals questioning how their information will be used — people from all walks of life are adding their voices.

 

This movement brings those voices together.
