Petition Do not introduce Digital ID cards

We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not
introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being
looked at.

More details

We think this would be a step towards mass surveillance and digital
control, and that no one should be forced to register with a
state-controlled ID system. We oppose the creation of any national ID
system.

ID cards were scrapped in 2010, in our view for good reason.
