🚨BREAKING: We've launched a legal challenge to Johnson's Covid ID scheme in England.

Mandatory Covid passes are draconian, discriminatory and pointless, and we are concerned that the new scheme breaches the Human Rights Act and equality law.

Covid IDs don’t tell you that a person doesn’t have Covid or can’t spread it, but make society less free, less equal + less accessible.

We urge @BorisJohnson & @sajidjavid to scrap mandatory Covid passes.

If they don’t, we'll make our case in court.

🚨BREAKING🚨

YouTube removed our video of civil liberties champion @DavidDavisMP's speech against domestic vaccine passports, claiming that it "contradicts expert consensus".

This ought to be a wakeup call that free speech is under severe threat online.

bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/2021/10/youtub…
YouTube removed Davis’ speech, filmed at our conference fringe event, for violating its policy on “medical misinformation” but did not specify what content had breached the rules.

YouTube's claim is potentially libellous - Davis' speech was wholly accurate (and brilliant..!).
In the censored speech, @DavidDavisMP promoted vaccine benefits but warned that Covid IDs are “illiberal, demanding that we an ordinary British citizen produce our papers to do something which is normal in our daily lives.”

The speech can be viewed here:

👏A huge thanks to everyone who took part in our event during #CPC21.

⚠️ Covid IDs will not protect public health but will lead us to a checkpoint society.⚠️

'Not only are vaccine passports illiberal, they are also deceptively dangerous,'

@DavidDavisMP says Covid IDs will have the opposite effect of that which is intended.
'It's the job of the politician to say no, we're going to restrain power because the price you demand is just too great...'

@SteveBakerHW on the need to stand up to coercion and rebel against discriminatory & divisive Covid IDs.
