Do not introduce Digital ID UK

25th September 2025, news broke that Kier Starmer, the UK Prime Minister, would make an announcement to implement a Digital ID. I’m using this post as a little summary to share with family and friends.

If you’d like to sign the petition against the Digital IDs, the link is in the button. If you’ve not heard about it or not sure why it matters I’ve collected videos and links from a number of folks online talking about the topic.

What is Digital ID UK?

Here’s a great video from Big Brotherwatch explaining more about Digital ID.

Big Brother Watch have produced an overview, petition and report all about digital ID which I’ve linked here:

And the Blackbelt Barrister has done a great video too.

But I have nothing to hide

This is a common response I hear from family and friends when talking about facial recognition or mass surveillance.

It seems like a sound, logical stance. But it’s not about whether you have anything to hide or not, it’s about rights as citizens to privacy and liberty. Not to mention security of your personal data.

Here’s a solid video going into why “I have nothing to hide” is a terrible response.

Former Hacker explains concerns

“If you took the digital ID logo off it, it would be one of the most malicious things that they’re proposing to put on your phone.” – former hacker, and director of INSINIA Security, Mike Godfrey.
