Digital ID Fallback

                                          
The government have announced that Digital ID will no longer be mandatory, only voluntary. This is a major retreat from their previous hard-line position; and I'm pleased to say they have cancelled other unpopular policies too, such as those intended to make farmers' and pub landlords' lives a misery.

The Starmer regime has not given a good explanation why it has U-turned like this, but the reason is obvious, mass-resistance from the public and even, amazingly, the members of Parliament, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/12/mp-digital-id-debate.html. This is a major battle won, but we must not get complacent; Starmer has not given up yet. Digital ID is not being scrapped! I've a feeling they will try to sneak in a rule to make it compulsory after the voluntary version has been rolled out. The infrastructure must not be put in place at all. This means we must not let out guard down; I'm still attending the next big demonstration against digital ID in April. The Starmer regime is under a mandate from the global Deep State and so will not go quietly. Look at the way they want to ban Twitter (I can't bear to call it "X"!). As usual there is an apparently unrelated pretext which is the same one they used to justify the Online Safety Act, obscene material, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/03/online-safety-act-goes-live.html. As Elon Musk himself has said, this is nothing more than an excuse. Users have responded with a new meme, Getting Grok to make pictures of Keir Starmer wearing a bikini and there are thousands of them. We should feel encouraged by the way this struggle is turning out. We are definitely on the winning side; and we will continue to win so long as we continue fighting.
