'Starmer's Spy App' seems a suitable and accurate name for this extraordinary intrusion. He really does seem to have it in for the British people.

Authoritarian moves by this government and Kier Starmer should be resisted. We already have 3 or more fascist leaning old men in charge of the world (Trump, Putiñ, Xi,...) let's not add anyone else!

there are no exceptions every nation in the world is led by a puppet of the shadow rulers.

There are no shadow rulers, don't be silly. Capitalism is what motivates most governments, and that is why the power of the international working class - the class that produces most of the wealth of the ruling class - needs to be united.

What research have you done into this? Zero -because of you had youd know. so your opinion is ignorance ironically created by the overlords propaganda on you which states that any such talk is conspiracy theory and therefore must be shut down. They have you exactly where they want you.

Research? Perhaps you might read Karl Marx: Capital, for a start. Stop worrying about shadow rulers and start understanding the Marxist analysis of international capitalism.

Tony Blair doesn’t have any vision, he’s the usual meat puppet guided by personal gain without any regard or compassion for those who will suffer so that he can enrich himself.

My Facebook feed this morning was dispiriting as 'good people' I know (one a professor, another a retired arts boss) were posting "what's all the fuss about? Digital ID sounds like a good thing." Time to make some unpopular remarks to friends again, I guess.

Some people are far too trusting of authority and it's often smart people because they are the ones who have been rewarded by the establishment

With all he has stolen, the corruptions and the rest, doesn't he have enough money to leave this world be?

I will never accept this. Even if it means going to jail.

iIt's worse than going to jail. Soon you won't have an identity, won't be able to purchase, won't be able to live in a house, won't be able to access the NHS, or public services without one.

Blair and his criminal cartel are slavering at the thought of being able to charge every one of us protection money to access everything we need to live. The buying of goods including food, heating, education, healthcare, culture, policing and housing. This Blair ID scam is like Thiel’s protection racket Paypal but scaled up to engulf governments. Rentier world.

tony the butcher of Afganistan and Iraq and terrorist enforcer of the war on dissidents under the ombrella of the patriot act rebranded with his so called antiterrorism laws is a war criminal.

The Uk government is so complicit in the Genocide in Gaza that it can not admit it’s taking place.

The digital ID is the final attempt at locking down not just dissidents, but everyone, for to enforce the Genocidaires dystopian regime.

tony the butcher of Afganistan and Iraq must be indicted and prosecuted by the ICC for his warcrimes.

And no to digital ID/dystopia.

Can you imagine this man being appointed Governor of Gaza. I completely agree, he should be in the Hague.

Agree 100% with your well argued and written article and all the comments posted below especially Sol San. Why has Bliar never been tried for his part in the Iraq debacle and the murder of so many?starmer a Zionist puppet groomed by the establishment to destroy the labour party and carry out their plans to destroy the country. He is a pathetic, unimaginative genocidaire PoS content with lining his own and his cabinets pockets with Zionist blood money whilst thousand upon thousand of Palestinians have been murdered by the butchers of Israel in the most atrocious ways. This government must be ousted and a government of the people, for the people who want an Equitable, green, forward thinking, welcoming, thriving, no lobbying, donations, bribes, corruption, wholesale roots up reform of parliament and the lords must be brought into being to get rid of the corruption, venality and fraud at the heart of this country.

AI will do the work of looking at your social media posts, your purchases, your travel, your job history, your criminal record, your browsing history, your call hiatory. AI will be the one to warn you and will then cut you off. Sorry, no Facebook, no internet, no air travel, no job. AI will act as your personal judge, jury, and executioner. The Stare will have your balls in a vise, and you will be the State's bitch or you will be homeless.

War criminal Blair, holidays with Larry 'Zionist Monster' Ellison - tech billionaire who is planning to buy US TikTok and will change the algorithms and get rid of moderators just as Musk did with Twitter (no Gaza feeds please), has obviously been watching 'Black Mirror' and thinks it's a documentary ! It's all about data and control and a nightmare vision of the future, seriously no debates in Parliament, this is a minimum requirement, remember 'you are not a number, you are a free citizen' (yes I remember 'The Prisoner' lol)

I guess Tony did regard Orwell as an instruction manual, and combined that misinterpretation with another - of his probable favorite Beatles song - to come up with "All you need is love (of Big Brother)... and digital IDs"
