So let me get this ABSOLUTELY straightโฆ
The public are being told facial recognition cameras, Digital ID and eventually digital currency are all about โsecurityโ and โsafetyโ.
Meaning every payment, every document and every movement could one day be linked directly back to YOU.
But hereโs the part hardly anyone talks aboutโฆ
MPs and members of the Royal Family are reportedly exempt from parts of Digital ID systems for โsecurity reasonsโ.
So the very people creating and supporting these systems wonโt necessarily have to live under them in the same way as everyone else.
Ordinary people could end up being monitored through one vast digital network, while those at the top remain outside parts of it.
Whether you support Digital ID or oppose it, surely the same rules should apply to everyone.
Because the moment people believe there is one set of rules for MPs, the Royal Family and the political class, and another for everybody else, trust in government starts to disappear.
And looking around Britain today, itโs not hard to see why so many people are losing faith.
The real issue isnโt technology. Itโs whether the people creating the system are willing to live under it themselves and if they arenโt then WHY and WHY should anyone else be expected to then.
