MP Digital ID Debate

 
The House of Commons has fulfilled its commitment to the online petition on digital ID, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/10/id-petition-response-omissions-and.html. (The petition is still open and stands at almost three million at the time of writing.) The debate was held in the Grand Committee Room in Westminster Hall, not the main Commons chamber. Jeremy Corbyn, former opposition leader, thought that it should be. There was not enough room for all the members who wanted to take part. The main chamber is the one people are most familiar with, the one where the MP's vote. The debate goes on for over four hours and it might be easier to search the written minutes instead of watching the video, if you're short of time. The debate was introduced by Robbie Moore, Conservative MP for Keighley and Ilkley. It represents something of a miracle; Members of Parliament are finally growing some balls! A lot of those opposed to digital ID, which was over three quarters, sounded almost like Andrew Bridgen. The arguments they made against digital ID were surprisingly all the same ones I, and others in the Truth movement, have also made. They came across as confident and passionate. The minority in favour of the Big Brother proposition didn't really add anything that has not already been said in the government's contemptuous and insipid petition response, see link above. Their tone was uncertain, insincere and timid. One catchphrase I heard over and over again was along the lines of: "My constituents have been very vocal about this..." or: "My constituents insisted I address this..." It's pretty clear that many of the MP's against the BritCard have simply caved in to public pressure. They may not mean what they say, but they understand the risk they face, possibly losing their seats and having to go out and get a real job! Therefore it is never a waste of time to write to your MP, attend their surgeries or sign petitions. An appeal to self-interest is not the ideal motive, but it might be enough. It is in this case.

It is very obvious the Commons are going to throw out the government's bill. That is a huge relief and a wonderful victory; however, Starmer will not give up. He has Tony Blair's globalists tugging on his strings and so he is right now scheming to sneak ID cards into society another way. We must be vigilant and so ready and waiting when he makes another attack on our freedoms.
