Got questions about the government’s new Digital ID scheme? Here’s @DarrenPJones, Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, with everything you need to know.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones This you?
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones If you wanted to deal with illegal working you'd direct resources to non-chain fast food shops, car washes and nail salons. Those countries haven't dealt with their illegal immigration with digital ID. You are so fucking done. Call an election.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones "It's free, it's not going to cost you anything" - How stupid do you think we are Darren? Nothing is FREE. The money is coming from the taxpayer, so yes we are paying for it.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones “Digital ID makes life easier,” says the regime. Translation = easier for them to track, tag and control you like livestock. This isn’t security, it’s surveillance. Britain was built on Magna Carta, not QR codes. Say no to digital shackles.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Brazen liar. Starmer said when announcing this measure, which has no democratic mandate and again bypassing Parliament, that, in the future, it would be used to tackle poverty and climate change. How could it do this if it is simply a form of ID?
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Given phone theft, especially in london is ridiculously high, some 13 per hour, how exactly will you keep our information safe? You wont. So, i just want to put it out there, i will not be participating. I also do not need to work! So you can poke your digital ID.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Well you should 'issue' me a phone then. Why do I have to pay a significant sum of money on a phone for you to 'use'. It's not your phone, it's MY phone.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones A utility bill is not necessary when you start a new job. Proof of NI and passport is. But hey this is all rushed to cover up dodgy Labour Together so details will be a bit foggy.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Yvette Cooper last year confirmed that no, this wasn't not Labour policy. What happened?
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones “Hi I’d like three prime ribs please..” “I’m sorry sir use you’ve used your meat allowance for carbon output this week, would you like a cabbage to boil..” *this is what digital ID may mean..
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones I do. My French relatives recently had a horrendous time trying to use the new and completely unnecessary e-Visa scheme to visit us for a week. It was hard to navigate the website, they kept being pushed to use an app that their phones did not support and it required technical
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Apparently if it wasn't in your manifesto then it doesn't count. Your words Darren Jones. Was this in your manifesto, if not, then I suggest the electorate conclude your wish to implement it doesn't count.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Papers, please? No, thank you.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones How would you police companies who like to employ cheap illegal immigrant labour and are probably not going to comply? How much would that cost the tax payer?
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Why are you implementing a tool of state surveillance, against the wishes of the public and without an electoral mandate to do so?
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Considering most illegal migrants who are illegally working don't declare themselves to HMRC and often get paid in cash, how will digital ID prevent illegal migrants from illegally working?
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Employers who don't check the right to work now, aren't gonna suddenly start 'cos you've spent billions (of our money,) on an app.🤦♂️ Mission creep will also surely happen: "Oh, yeah, btw, you need your DID to buy food now and to travel anywhere, and to access healthcare, etc,
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones I have yes. Riddle me this.. If voting ID to prove who you are was as bad idea when you were in opposition then why is it a good idea to have a digital ID to prove who you are now??🤔
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones How much is the initial cost? Is it contracted to a private company? Do any MPs or associates own or part-own the supplying companies? What prevents governments from using it oppressively in the future? Where is the technology manufactured? When did I have to start taking an old
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones "Here's one of the actual ventriloquists who pulls my strings. He hates normal Brits even more than I do. The worse a policy is for you, the more likely it is that he is the one pushing it."
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Nino no good now. Can't believe you're jumping on the Keir La Chiffre bandwagon. I would 💯 go for digital ID but if it was fair for all. Sadly it will never be.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Yep. Resist, UK (although I am not too hopeful for you guys)
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones There are a lot of people who don't have a phone or want to have a phone, and a lot of people (older or with some disabilities) who can't use a smart phone. Will there be an analogue alternative - i.e. a hard copy for those people?
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Doublespeak
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Orwell would call it what it is. State overreach with a friendly UI/UX.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones BULLS#^T.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones You have no mandate for this.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones He hit all the hot words to convince everyone it will make their lives easier. I noticed in the countries he mentioned, that China was left out. Seems odd. I wonder why?🤔
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Never trust a man with a melted Mars Bar physiognomy.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Warning this is another step towards more Labour data failures. German eID card system vulnerable to online identity spoofing read below. Also potential for Keystroke logging and online history tracking. (App install) Stasi levels of control from Labour. https://www.zdnet.com/article/...
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Straight from the World Economic Plan. This is the full plan! You are just announcing the first part! Link https://www.weforum.org/storie...
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones I’ve come up with a design that feels on message for this government’s current policies.
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Or just read 1984
@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Or, just look at this chart. China’s Social Credit System coming soon to the United Kingdom.
