How do you feel about being forced to get Digital ID to be allowed to work, or to access government services?

Keir Starmer outright stated his digital ID will be mandatory in order to have a job in the UK before his current term as UK Prime Minister ends

Here in Australia our federal goverment has digital ID already in place (called MyID) as an *option* for accessing federal government services via the MyGov aggregator portal.

Would you 'comply' and get Digital ID if you were told you would lose the right to work without it? Remember a large portion of the population in certain countries (and specific industry segments in some countries) 'complied' with being told they would lose the right to work if they didn't accept getting jabbed for Covid. So a precedent has already been set.

I wont be partaking and hopefully enough people say the same and render this agenda obsolete

@gol979 Genuine question: how will you work around the inability to hold down your job if/when that becomes an issue? I'm past needing paid work to live, but I know some people who will really struggle to comply with this.

@FreddieUK i dont know tbh. But surely there will be enough push back before they use the nuclear option?

Went through turmoil during covid for having wrong think but managed to keep my principles throughout despite segregation, refusal of many services etc. Will do the same in relation to digital ID and lets see what happens

@gol979 I wouldn't hold your breath over the push back as the head of steam built up over the illegal employment of some immigrants is quite high. The other point I'd make is that I have long ago given up any pretence of having privacy from government when I realised they know all about me already in so many ways. ☹

@FreddieUK maybe but got to try eh. And even if big brother has a lot of info on you already doesnt mean you just let big brother become bigger. Lets not be 1984 Winston
