BritCard is a Trojan horse towards Soviet Britain
BritCard will be the Chinese Social Security Card version of Soviet Britain. Labour in their first 3 years as I said before elections, will put in as many long term socialist policies, which won't appear as socialist at first sight but will be trojan horses for the future.
They won't care about being popular or not. They will push them through and bring them into law. And then during their last year or two will try to appease the public by doing temporary goodwill things. They might even deport a sizeable amount of illegals. They already have and will keep on raising public sector wages during their whole period to gain their support. They will carry on with devolution, break up NHS England and merge with Social Care in each devolved local authority, that way it would be hard to track the overall burden of NHS and harden to direct its failure to them.
This is their tactic. Everything they are doing it is for long term socialist outcomes. They don't aim to bring their socialist utopia in this term. They are planting the seeds for the future. And if the right keeps being divided, they will take advantage of it, and advantage of low voter turnout to again win the elections. And that my friends would be the sealing of Soviet Britain. Reform will implode, they are banking on it, and so far Farage is not disappointing them. Either that is by design or by incompetence is yet to be seen. But the King certainly approves and maybe a knighthood will seal the deal on that score as well if not already offered.
BritCard: a progressive digital identity for Britain - by Labour Together
For a progressive society to work, it needs to be able to collectively agree who is allowed to join it. Because it will exclude those who cannot join it, it needs to give its members proof that they belong. The UK doesn’t do this. Our conflicted historic approach to issuing identity credentials has led to a situation that represents the worst of both worlds. We currently can’t effectively stop people from living and working in our country illegally. Nor can we efficiently support legal citizens and residents to exercise their rights.
- Because it will exclude those who cannot join it, it needs to give its members proof that they belong. (Do you really think they believe this as their goal or are the using the sentiments of the people who want immigration controls?)
And they continue with this rhetoric:
By introducing a mandatory, universal, national identity credential - BritCard - the Labour Government has the opportunity to build a new piece of civic infrastructure, something that would become a familiar feature of daily life for everyone in the country. It would support better enforcement of migration rules, and protect vulnerable British citizens from being wrongly denied their rights. It could end identity exclusion, resolving uncertainty and risk for those whose status is uncertain, and providing a quick, secure, privacy-preserving means for everyone to verify their identity and their migration status when dealing with government, when taking up a new job, or taking on property.
And here they try to appease the chattering class now. Telling them it won’t cost that much, it is efficient, it is convenient, and it shows our commitment to invest it technology. Oh, the public sector bots will eat it up:
All the necessary elements of the technology needed to deliver BritCard exist and are already in use in multiple arenas. The additional cost would be modest relative to other forms of infrastructure - we estimate between £140-400m. Applying internet-era test-and-learn design practices to the development of the BritCard would help to avoid the pitfalls faced by some public sector digital platforms. By embodying the highest standards of transparency and engaging in meaningful co-design, the Government could rebuild trust and ensure BritCard represented an improvement in privacy and accessibility. The Government has stated time and again its ambition to make the best possible use of technology to serve the public.
Summary of recommendations
Given the very significant political and delivery benefits, moderate costs and the deliverability of this policy, the Government should announce as early as possible in Summer 2025 its intention to explore introducing a digital right-to-work and right-to-rent credential, as part of its plan to tackle illegal migration.
It should also:
Make a robust and up-to-date assessment of the current undocumented population
Agree a digital identity strategy at the Digital Interministerial Group with Home Office involved as an extraordinary member, as well as at DG level with a new working group with representatives from all relevant departments
Hire a very senior, high-profile and experienced political figure head or tech sector professional to be the cross-government champion and external face of its digital identity programme
Make clear that digital identity is a top Prime Ministerial priority through a high-profile launch and strategy white paper
Develop a technical specification and policy case for a digital right-to-work credential (a joint project between the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (GDS), and Home Office as identity and migration lead department). Prototyping and service design testing should also be part of this process
Convene a new stakeholder working group to participate in development of this project, including and pioneering innovative co-design practices, going beyond just consultation. Central to this working group should be the inclusion of excluded or marginalised groups as priority user cohorts
Ensure accessibility for those with low digital skills and non-smartphone owners, including the provision of in-person support channels
Prioritise trust and transparency across the development and deployment of the BritCard, giving users control of how and when their data is used, and adhering to a test-and-learn approach
Allocate funding to support the development of the BritCard digital identity system, following best practice for funding digital teams
Learn the lessons from other successful rapid tech delivery projects such as the NHS App, COVID Pass, EU Settled Status Scheme and Universal Credit
Embed digital-era working practices in the new project team, including definition and regular publication of usability metrics (e.g. onboarding success rate for people without passports)
Rebrand the Gov.UK App and Gov.UK Wallet as the “BritCard app”
This summary screams as the idea that the top civil servants who are spearheading the socialist fabian movement within British elites have been trying to bring to the public for a long time now. To be honest they have been trying to do it since Blair. Conservatives were fooled because of their own incompetence into thinking this will be a convenient way to keep track and score of data. But this is a trojan horse for the Chinese style social credit system.
And why do you think they are keen to introduce this? This is also the best way to make sure all the migrants they are letting into this country, also those who have been here generations but are troublemakers like the followers of the religion of peace, can be controlled through this system. A combination of UAE and Chinese style approach.
And you might think to yourself, well that is not a bad approach, but they won’t stop at them. This is actually to control you. And also for you to accept that such unassimilated people should be allowed to remain in this country. High trust societies are not build on authoritarian laws, and if the high trust nature of British society is lost then laws cannot bring that back, exclusion, punishment, and deportations of those who break the high trust is the only way to restore it for the future. But that is not their intention - obedience and compliance is their intention.
Look how their favoured left media helps them cement this propaganda:
