The idea that a digital ID system will somehow stop illegal migration by preventing people from working is a sick joke. There are already over 1.4 million migrants who don’t work — and why would they, when they can receive up to £27,000 in benefits each year, with some getting even more?

According to government figures, £1 billion in benefits is claimed every month.This digital ID scheme is not really about immigration at all. It’s about control — control over your money, your home, your holidays, your travel, and even what you eat.

Sound far-fetched? Perhaps not. It might be a good time to re-read 1984. It was a novel, yes, but Orwell saw this coming. The evidence is already visible in China, where every movement is tracked — even schoolchildren. If you break a rule, you’re fined automatically, and you may not even know it until you check your bank statement and see the money gone.

The real problems here are privacy, data security, and government overreach. Digital IDs bring the risk of data breaches, identity theft, misuse of personal information, and the exclusion of older or less tech-savvy citizens. Unlike a password, biometric data can’t be changed once compromised.

Meanwhile, this government has sent over £20 billion in foreign aid this year to 18 countries. The Home Secretary awarded £10 million to protect Muslims, yet nothing has been allocated to protect the Jewish community, despite two of their citizens being murdered. On top of that, £111 million was given to Pakistan for “family planning.”

The so-called £20 billion black hole Labour inherited from the Tories has now doubled — even quadrupled — due to reckless spending and giveaways of taxpayers’ money. All the while, British citizens are left cold, hungry, and struggling to survive. I can’t help but ask: why did you vote for these people?
