UK Government Moves to Mandate Digital IDs for All Citizens to ‘Tackle Illegal Immigration’
Every citizen in Britain could soon be forced to sign up for a digital ID card after French President Emmanuel Macron demanded action on illegal immigration. The plan is supposedly part of sweeping reforms aimed at cracking down on illegal working. Downing Street confirmed the plans, marking the return of a proposal scrapped 15 years ago after widespread public outcry over civil liberties.
Under the new scheme, Britons could be required to show a digital ID before starting a new job, renting a home, claiming benefits, or even accessing public services. Critics warn that this represents a massive step toward a surveillance state. It’s a development that civil liberties advocates warn will strip away privacy and set the stage for even greater government control.
