The Covid Passport was a first step in the introduction by big brother of digital ID for U.K. citizens. House of Lords have just voted last night for Voter ID cards. Another Tory device for limiting our civil liberties, this time for rigging elections. It’s happening!
When will the U.K. public wake up and actually get it that these government initiatives are not being introduced on the basis of their proven merits or in the public interest. They are being sold as such but in reality are detrimental to our right to privacy and freedoms.
In comparison to other European countries, the U.K. public are much slower in understanding the basic truth that governments are not to be trusted. It’s citizens are largely conservative in their outlook and conform rather than question or disobey bad laws.
They are more likely to complain or simply moan in private or indulge in polite political debates that follow strict rules of procedure that never usually result in anything exciting happening or remotely spontaneous. It’s predictably boorishly boring!
So whilst the government burns the midnight oil rushing through late amendments to scrap our human rights, the the U.K. population contents itself with political soaps or scandals and zombie-like, sleep walks into that dark night of increasing state control of their lives.
