UK Gov’t launches Digital ID “consultation”
Kit Knightly
Yesterday, Keir Starmer’s Government officially launched their “consultation” on Digital ID.
The language in the press release is hilariously partisan…
Government launches consultation on making public services quicker, easier and more secure to access with digital ID
The government wants to know if you’re in favour Digital ID making public services quicker easer and more secure? Or would you like them to stay slow, difficult and unsafe?
For those unversed in the vernacular of British politics, a “Consultation” occurs after the government has decided to do something, but before they’ve actually done it.
After the “consultation” comes the “panel”:
‘People’s Panel for Digital ID’ – an in-depth deliberative engagement process with a broadly UK representative sample of 100-120 individuals to discuss the policy in detail.
…which is a 120-person focus group of totally real people selected at random. Honest.
The supposed aim of this long and drawn-out process is to get vital feedback about the thing that’s definitely going to happen, and therefore be able to best benefit the public when it happens.
The real aim is an extended PR tour creating a façade of conversation and compromise prior to the roll-out of the entirely unchanged plan.
The technology is all built, the app designed, the services locked in. What they’re waiting for is the brief process of normalisation to elapse so that not too many people protest.
And protest we should, because a cursory reading of the full consultation is alarming.
There’s a part about facial recognition technology, for example:
…there is a legal basis for police use of facial recognition, which may include access to biometric data held by government. The government recognises that the current legal framework is complicated, and has launched a consultation (which concluded in February 2026) on reviewing the legal framework for using facial recognition in law enforcement. That consultation proposes a new legal framework that will create consistent, durable rules and appropriate safeguards for facial recognition and similar technologies which are likely to follow it in relation to biometric data held by government in the future. The national digital ID will be subject to any new legal framework introduced.
A word salad which roughly translates to:
“We’re going to put everyone with a digital ID into a police database for facial recognition technology.”
But the good news is that you don’t have to pay to be put on a facial recognition database, the UK Digital ID will be free:
We expect there to be no direct costs to households from the introduction of the digital ID system, as households will not be charged any fees to create, access or use their digital ID.
How this will work with passports and drivers’ licences – both of which you do have to pay to receive – will be interesting. But making one free and one expensive is a very efficient method of blurring the line between non-compulsory and mandatory.
As the old saying goes, “if you’re not paying for the product, you ARE the product.”
So, how do you feel about this idea? Would you like to be part of the consultation?
Because, if you want to leave some feedback…there’s a survey. Have at it.

UK Gov’t launches Digital ID “consultation” just before USAISL War with Iran.
UK Gov’t launches Digital ID “consultation”?????
Over 11 million people in the UK hold a concessionary bus pass, with the vast majority issued to older residents (60-66+) and people with disabilities. England alone has roughly 8.7 million, while Scotland has over 800,000 young people and over 2 million older people holding passes, totaling over 11 million holders,
As Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, Conservative Michael Gove spearheaded major housing reforms (2021–2024), including the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023, the Building Safety Act 2022, and the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024. Key focus areas included banning no-fault evictions, enforcing “Awaab’s Law” for mould, and enhancing developer accountability.
With the housing reforms (2021–2024), every landlord had to provide digital ID (passport/driving license) and so did the perspective tenants.
Precisely. First they call it one thin. and when people resist the shit, the call it something else and put it into necessities you cant be without.
‘which is a 120-person focus group of totally real people selected at random. Honest’.
Same random people they pick for BBC Question Time audience.
Digi ID, removal of jury trials by the cloned Idi Amin.
If the above bollocks come to pass we are fkd.
The only useful gov framework they could have made would have been a single compulsory job application form ie compulsory for employers to accept. You then could have saved one form. Appendices for speciality.
But that would have helped people
What would have helped people more is no digital ID.
We can have every humanly possible PRE voting requirement known to man but unless we do what over 70% of nations already do (paper ballots only) no amount of SAVE or Exec Order nonsense will make a damn bit of difference. Don’t be STUPID. They are fooling you. As Stalin said, its not what people vote for that counts, its WHO counts the votes.

This is why the evil b*strds are winning and we are losing – because we won’t stand together, or we are too stupid to know when to stand together.

Yes Scotland has strong history with regards to Freemasonry, and my home town Glasgow, unfortunately has a history of homing Zionists, if I could rid Scotland of both I would, but I can’t.

The Iranians appear to be doing a better job on the ridding side of things.
Apparently – Iranian forces left the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier unable to carry out its duties, so it – and its strike group. are heading away from the conflict back towards the States.
These guys knew what was going to happen over thirty-years ago.

Dunno. I passed all of the “Government Gateway” tests afaik. Plus the “Government One-login”. Was even vetted on one occasion (passed – don’t blink)
What more could anyone wish for to prove themselves superior to Mandelson, Epstein, or to any cohort of Blair anyway?
Do they know if you’re still alive if you didn’t blink? Who would want to think about themselves in relation to any of those characters…whatever context that may be?
I fathom the GOV ID app will be fully compatible into the smart phone Iphone google apple build.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), which is the UK’s independent regulatory authority for data protection, will conduct a separate “consultation” and find that the GOV ID app is perfectly safe and effective.
1 May 2024 -The UK Conservative Government has introduced identification for voting in person across Great Britain. Voter identification has been recommended by the Electoral Commission since at least 2014 and is in line with the longstanding arrangements in Northern Ireland, which has had the requirement for photographic identification to vote in elections since 2003. Most European countries also require some form of identification to vote, as well as countries like Canada.
Showing photographic identification to vote is a reasonable approach to combat the inexcusable potential for voter fraud that existed in our electoral system.
Across the pond, the yanks love the digital ID voting idea.

Dear D. Trump,
I promise you the outcome of any election will not be any better by this than before.
Only your fear for personal individual responsibility will be lesser when as many as possible personally sign in with photo to Mai Lai massacres, Fallulah massacres, Gaza massacres, bombing poor people, kicking them with your boots, and latest the ugliness and shame in Iran girls school.

Every where that I have voted in America, I have had to show my driver’s license.
Off course. You look like a Truck driver rebel from Canada, walk like a Truck driver rebel from Canada, talk like a Truck driver rebel from Canada.
If I were those Election Authorities in America, I would not demand less!!
Is that supposed to be some joke or something? Why don’t you take a break?
So. They mandate ID and ban mail-in. And then they stick tranny stuff in to mess everything up. They just can’t control themselgves.
Sorry to sound negative, they will not stop at digital ID.
Yikes, terrifying. Most people in this country have no idea this is coming. How can we wake them up?
1 handgranate will wake everybody up.
So many O/T comments – double standard modding at its best.
My meltdown count currently 7, or 8 ?
A world record.
We obviously want to talk about Iran. And they won’t let us.
The Independent Media Alliance consists of Derrick Broze, Ryan Cristian, Iain Davis, Hrvoje Moric, Steve Poikonen, Charlie Robinson, James Corbett, Catherine Austin Fitts, Hakeem Anwar, and Kit Knightly, within any of the discussions of the global rollout of digital identity programs.
Have any of these Independent Media Alliance authors ever mentioned the UK Universal Credit or that the USA recently had the longest government shutdown in history and what the reasons for that are ? (digitizing 42 million on the social security / snap programme basically the poor, disabled and elderly on to a digital grid)
If you have out-of-touch journalists ( who just repost other people’s reposts rather than engage in any form of on-the-ground journalism), you have this lot so out of touch with reality. They are clueless about what is happening when it finally becomes mainstream, which is what The Independent (hardly independent thinking if you repost other people’s reposts ) Media represents-a true alliance of reposters.
Derrick Broze and Ryan Cristian touched on Trump’s and Musks Doge – Plantiar contracts program and how that fits into the digital grid , something Kit or any of the Off-Guardian authors never mentioned in full. The subject matter has been avoided on Off-Guardian unless it is the recent Labour digital ID issue, which is ten years past its sell-by date.
This digital situation in the UK is over fifteen years old news in MSM.
The UNIVERSAL CREDIT system , owned and run by the Department of Work and Pensions under the Conservative government, has digitized the whole system.
If you’re talking about it now, it is because it may be affecting you now. Millions of people-mainly the poor, disabled, elderly, and even veterans-who they like to use as a narrative, have been forced onto a digital system and had to provide copious amounts of ID, and this system has been tested on them. I have yet to see any of the above-so-called journalists? (reposters) show any of this.
Folks on government benefits have been digitised because it suits the suits.
Keeping track of millions of pensioners, disabled, veterans etc is an incredibly time consuming and onerous task.
That’s not to say I agree with their heavy handed and invasive tactics, but how else could they manage it? Lots of desks and filing cabinets?
As for the IMA and their ‘avoidance of the subject matter’, I think you’re off target.
The IMA is talking about the digitisation of the wage and salary slaves, not the 20%(?) on government benefits.
On the ground journalism requires a big budget and that can only be paid for by lots of puerile advertising.
Is that what you want?
And look who is back on the British front pages? Desperate from the CIA as they US empire collapses.

UK anti Digital ID march in London on October 18, 2025, got really bad press by the Zionside of the alternative media.
The UK Parliamentary petition (Petition ID 730194) opposing the mandatory introduction of digital ID cards gathered over 2.9 million signatures by late 2025, making it one of the largest in UK history.
UK bans pro-Iran, anti-Israel Al Quds Day march,The march, which has taken place in the UK for more than 40 years, has been banned by home secretary
to prevent serious public disorder”
They won’t ban a Tommy Robinson march, They won’t ban a Britains First march, but they’ll ban a peaceful protest that’s been going on for over 40 years…yeah that makes a lot of sense….
The English State of Isntrael.
Quds Day (‘Jerusalem Day’), officially known as International Quds Day (Persian: روز جهانی قدس, romanized: Ruz Jahâni Quds), is an annual pro-Palestinian event held on last Friday of Islamic holy month of Ramadan to express support for Palestinians & oppose Isntrael & Genocide.
The same regime that insisted on having Maccabi hooligans run riot and had a chief constable resign over that. The UK Government backs Isnteli football hooligans, prioritising pro Isntrael groups over the safety of the public.
Digital ID will be needed in the future to be able to attend a demonstration.
Hate march. 👺
US calls this “town hall”. It is a democratic charade of consultation. There is little printed material that you can take away to read. No specific person may be responsible. For feedback, the public cannot see the opinions of others, as on a blog or platform, and negative responses may be censored. You must trust the government for evaluation and tabulation.
In this modern era distinguished as that of rolling-thunder-chaos-trauma, off G is a breath of fresh air.
So facial recognition as the handmaid to digital ID is a locked in as anything has ever been locked in but what this article shows, which for me is new, is that it will also be a pay per view/subscription service with only higher levels of subscription affording access to “fuller” or “more universal(?)” or “more transferable inalienable” human rights.
Incredibly total tyranny is also comical.
Yes your digital prison is about to be open for business. Once implemented the AI gatekeeper will slam the door shut. The question is will you be trapped inside or outside..
Does taking part in their survey lend them your credibility and aid them in legitimizing the process?!
I’m sure Canada will follow suit as soon as Mark Carney can still his majority government.

What happens if you pay for the products
With open borders allowing people to burn their papers before entry: as illogical / nuts as in the the US side of the North Atlantic swamp. The Holy Grail is PRC level of total control of the masses.
The masks episode in 2020 was contrary just to see how far Whitehall-Whitehouse could go one way or the other. White = Black.
My previous comment on this disappeared into the great Admin folder in the sky, so here’s a different version of it…
EU also joining the digital parade, coincidentally..:
https://commission.europa.eu/topics/digital-economy-and-society/european-digital-identity_en
It’s all good though; it will be ‘trusted’ like the UK version. The word ‘trust’ is mentioned 9 times on that webpage so no need to worry ourselves.
Hopefully the digital id will come just in time for fuel rationing…
Why does the government believe a randomly selected 100 person panel
will make the right decision when recently a randomly selected 12 person
jury didnt give the government the right verdict ? Does the government
know something it’s not telling ? Has it improved The Vetting Process ? Has it
changed the definition of ‘randomly” ?
……. Government’s changing the meanings of words is really popular with
governments these days… It’s a Government Guarantee: the meanings of
words wiil be changed to suit the occasion
That’s the absurdity inherent in all totalitarian regimes. The more laws, the more oppression, the more absurd a society becomes. War is peace, ignorance is strength, freedom is slavery, etc.
Forgot to mention: The Bord of Peace, as a real-life, modern example.
Nobody has to sign up for this – as it says –
Unless you want to participate in society !
They tried this with the covid passport thing which was defeated only by huge publc backlash.
Problem is, they did the hokey-cokey on this, they put it all in loudly and took it out again.
Nobody’s noticed they’ve put it back in again.
Very quietly.
Without the words.

Protecting children at home, murdering brown children in Iran … the UK government is and always has been a disgrace. In times of war, the UK loves nothing more than killing defenceless brown civilians, the Israeli ethnic-superiority playbook. Yet at home, it is all about diversity and multiculturalism.
…which exposes diversity / multiculturalism for the sham that it is. Most faces on UK TV adverts are Black – while Wogs get blown up. There is deffo a link there.
Its to honour Israel. If we dont fill up England and EU with strangers and immigrants, the ‘news’ will deny us access to usury loans.
Therefore we are forced to do it, as society would collapse if we dont get loans .to our necessities.

Perhaps we can all chip in to gift the UK and other governments an artwork by famous Chinese artist Weiwei Ai (unfortunate name, I know):
When I took the “survey” I too gave it the middle finger salute.
Yes, extremely stupid and irrelevant questions, especially at the end. They missed to ask “were you somehow affected by convid” and “what do you think of the multiple wars running in parallel”
When the government says it’s ‘gonna consult the public’ i hear it say its
‘gonna insult the public.’
Incidentally, the so-called “lawyer” named Wyn Young, whom Vaca constantly refers to as an “infallible authority” against Fetzer, is a woman who has been appearing as a “man” since undergoing gender reassignment surgery. Vaca is either blind or lacking in instinct not to notice this, because according to his own agenda, he should be addressing this issue.
But it gets even more adventurous: at this very moment, Vaca is (once again) appearing on Redacted’s livestream as a “whistleblower” to tell the world, according to Silverman, that there are depots with Israeli military drones in his new home country. No joke! I am very curious to see whether Clayton Morris (expat in Portugal) will be able to provide solid evidence for this in his next conversation with his friend Tucker Carson.

Why not? We just divide us up in two groups; those who live in the 2-dimensional world (of TV screens), and those who live in the 3-dimensional world (real life). Thats it.
They can legal my arse as long as they want. Lolita dolls with 2 holes, plastic dildos, plastic tits, cartoon network. Donald Duck. Everything is SOOO legal.
The survey can only be accessed in Welsh and English and not in Scottish which is my language.
Can you see how the British Government is discriminating the Scottish people as pipe smoking underdogs who are not able to read and have opinions about anything than a pint of Guinness.
We are tired of Buckingham Palace and Parliament. We Scottish want to be a free nation again! https://youtu.be/YkUvkv4mEgg Epic March!
From the consultation intro:
“We are designing the new digital ID as something people will want to get, rather than something they must have. There will be no legal obligation for people to have or present the digital ID.”
If that paragraph remains true beyond 2030, I’ll eat my phone.
Oh and by the way this isn’t just a UK fixation:
Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 establishing the European Digital Identity Framework has entered into force. The framework mandates Member States to provide EU Digital Identity (eID) Wallets to citizens by the end of 2026 in line with the Regulation and Implementing Regulations adopted.
“(3)
The Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030, established by Decision (EU) 2022/2481 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), sets the objectives and digital targets of a Union framework which, by 2030, are intended to lead to wide deployment of a trusted, voluntary, user-controlled digital identity that is recognised throughout the Union and allows every user to control their data in online interactions.”
It all good though because it will be “trusted” and “voluntary” just like the UK version.
The’ll do it via the oligarchs’ corporations (like during the plandemic and the requirement to be fully vaxxed), so if your mug isn’t in the database you won’t be able to shop, do your banking, etc.
Like the cell/smart phone, it becomes something you can hardly do without.
You’ll need a big blender to break it up. Don’t forget to add lots of fibre.
That’s progress for you.
In the ‘old days’ we only had to eat our hats.
A great shame the war with Iran erupted when it did as it is probably distracting many people from this appalling move by the government. If it is enacted it’s going to be the final death of what freedom we have left in this country.
Digital ID is the new covid.
Facial recognition is a product of Izrell’s military-tech takeover. LBC presenter Sabrina Johnson (Bojo’s sister) brags about how they created this tech, like it’s something to celebrate and be grateful for!!! Shame the supposed alt-media never goes there, concealing this giant issue from the public – Izrell’s and by extension, because it has penetrated Izrell so effectively, Russia’s leading role in the hi-tech sector is something that should concern all of us.
Are there any British jounalists doing any work on this – that a huge amount of this dystopian technology crap is eminating from the people who just laid waste to Gaza? That the inroads into our governments means we end up spening gazillions of pounds to turn this country into a militarised surveillance tech-infested dump?
The only person doing any sort of proper job of exposing this key issue is Brendon O’ Connell. He just clipped the Kay Griggs interview down from 7 hours to 45 minutes. The Griggs interview (wife of NATO special operations head honcho) is the gold standard, the definitive exposure of how the ruling criminals actually operate.
1000% essential viewing.
Quite.
We’re ruled by maniacs who hate us and, on a good day, will throw a sop or two in the vague direction of us Proles. And as for the chiefs who own our rulers..
In summary – we’re f*cked.
We must all oppose this dangerous move!
Passports or drivers’ licences and utility bill from previous place and 3 months of bank statement and 2 x references and paying 400 euro for a background check in what I had to do to live in a apartment. 6 weeks rent upfront and an month deposit.
They also wanted to see a work contract.
Notice the switch, no longer do they just want a passport or driving license they now also want utility bills that is less 3 months old.
Really angers me.
It’s shocking and will only get worse
