A petition calling on the government to drop plans to make wartime-style mandatory identity documents picked up a million signatures in 24 hours after the policy was soft-launched this week.

An early indication of public sentiment on the notion of mandatory identity documents, as no new polling has yet been published on the matter, has arrived as the “Do not introduce Digital ID cards” petition picks up steam.

The petition, that had originally been launched in the mid-summer but which slowly picked up signatures until the government soft-launched its identity crackdown on Thursday night, had around 100,000 signatures yesterday morning. Now, 24 hours after that soft-launch and amid the Prime Minister actually making the announcement on Friday morning, the petition has grown by over a million signatures.

UK has plenty of ID. The digital ID is very scary.

This is a bad idea, because of security and because of the potential for abuse by gooberment bureaucrats.

 I'd bet the farm it a certainty for abuse.
It just ain't cool seeing a once great country who fought for it's freedom, charting a course to become a shit-hole country.  The  UK is at risk due to a bunch of self serving "UN-grade worthless" leftists.

A digital ID can easily be  encoded into a microchip and embedded into the body.  I can see an abusive government requiring it's citizens get the chip or be denied services or even the ability to purchase food, property or receive medical care.

This was foreseen thousands of years ago and is recorded in the Book of Revelations.
