Tony Blair Pushes UK Govt to Use Bill Gates’ Digital ID System
Tony Blair has urged the UK government to implement a digital ID system, suggesting it could help address issues like immigration and benefit fraud. Blair believes that such a system could also “flush out” anti-establishment populists by forcing them to choose between their rhetoric and actual policy solutions. He argues that digital IDs would empower individuals by simplifying transactions with the government and allowing for better identification of those who are not entitled to be in the country.
Blair’s proposal includes the use of live facial recognition technology, which has been piloted in London and Wales. He claims that digital IDs would enable the government to know exactly who has the right to be in the country, thus addressing concerns about immigration and benefit fraud. Blair also suggests that digital IDs could reduce crime, particularly online fraud.
However, the Labour government has rejected Blair’s call for digital ID cards. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper have stated that ID cards are not part of the government’s plans and were not included in the party’s election manifesto.
According to Blair, populists “exploit” public grievances without offering real solutions.
“The grievance would be on immigration—that the thing is out of control. The grievance would be on crime—that we’re not doing enough on it,” he said in an interview with The Times.
“So you say, ‘OK, here’s what you do.’ And then you have a big political fight. The populist is forced to choose.”
Blair insists that digital IDs could be the solution.
“We are putting in place the building blocks for it, so that’s good. But we should embrace it fully and roll it out as soon as we can because it will have an immediate set of benefits,” he told the newspaper.
He acknowledged privacy concerns but argued that the public is willing to trade privacy for efficiency.
“There will be a big debate… how much privacy are you prepared to trade for efficiency? My view is that people are actually prepared to trade quite a lot,” he said, adding that implementing digital IDs will expose those who “talk about issues like immigration or benefit fraud but don’t actually have the will to implement solutions.”
Now, under the leadership of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, he believes the government has an opportunity to push forward with digital IDs and other surveillance measures, including live facial recognition cameras.
While Starmer’s administration is already considering digital driving licenses and passports, Blair insists the government must go even further in implementing a centralized digital identity system.
“Young people will be able to use government-backed digital ID cards to prove they are old enough to drink alcohol under legal changes set to take effect next year,” The Telegraph reported.
“They will be able to sign up to digital ID companies that are certified against government-set standards for security and reliability and then use the app on their smartphone to prove they are over 18 when visiting pubs, restaurants, and shops.
It is part of a wider effort to move more state functions online so that people can prove their identity for everything from paying taxes to opening a bank account using the government-backed app.”
There is a striking irony in the UK’s sudden push to determine “precisely who has a right” to be in the country after years of unrestricted mass migration.
While the government insists that the new digital ID system will remain voluntary, critics argue that many so-called optional programs eventually become mandatory. UK Heritage Party Leader David Kurten has also pointed out that the push for digital IDs initially emerged during the rollout of Covid vaccine passports, raising concerns about the gradual expansion of state control over personal freedoms.
“The dangerous thing here is that it’s not just going to be limited to pubs and clubs,” Kurten said, referencing The Telegraph article.
“They’re even talking about entry to shops. Why you would need a digital ID in order to go into a shop and do some shopping, I don’t know—that sounds very nefarious. (The test run was the green pass that the EU, UK and Israel all implemented in 2021).
This is it! This is the final BEAST system that will be implemented around the world, most likely this year! Stay prayed up and prepped up because time is very short!
