I'm going to use a VPN so I can have an ID card of a different, better country.

Did they accidentally insult the photographer's mum or what

Media literacy includes asking yourself "how did this statement get to the press? Did the person call up a journalist? Post it to their own socials? Say it on stage/ at a con? Or was it leaked by an opponent? Is it the answer to a question the journo hasn't mentioned they asked? Etc.

I mentioned this earlier, this response makes more sense if you read it as a statement made under duress — a public figure trying to desperately avoid having her life ruined by someone with a big, hateful following living in mold mansion

What is WRONG with this guy ffs

The last Labour Government tried to introduce them as part of their weird assault on civil liberties under Blair. We opposed them then. We will oppose them now. Funny what you reach to when your situation becomes desperate...

I like it when anyone criticises London, and Sadiq posts something saying, “we are all multilingual and bisexual”

BREAKING: The Scottish Government has confirmed it opposes Labour's plans to introduce compulsory Digital ID

Going to be lovely when flag shaggers scream at homeless and disabled people that they shouldn’t have good phones while simultaneously demanding to see their Brit Cards

Again, I'm sure this is in no way connected to Labour's sudden frenzy to introduce a compulsory mass digital registration system

No, I'm Harry Willcock en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_W...

The UK government announced a massive deal with Palantir last week. They’re making the UK their European base and spending vast amounts of money here. You cannot tell me this is a coincidence

Truth

You can really feel his influence these days, right?

“I’m determined to put in the infrastructure that Nigel Farage will be able to use to deport everyone he dislikes”

I suppose rather than complaining on here I should write to my shitty Labour MP just to clarify I won't be carrying any ID card far less a Brit card And if they do somehow force me to, I'll lend my ID to any brown or trans person that needs it

Every time Dawkins tries to use his science "expertise" to defend bigotry we just need to repost this

scottish labour alive in serbia

Thoughts with the Hackney council official tasked with trying to get Stamford Hill haredi Jews to get a 'digital ID card'

People who are fine with ID cards lack imagination. They lack the most basic imagination.

The BBC are pretending all European ID cards - and the British wartime ID cards lol - are the same thing as biometric cards linked to a massive national database

Apparently you can actually put ex politicians in jail for corruption?!

A short thread on digital ID (cards) just to bear in mind. There are a few myths that I keep hearing about this idea that need clarifying/debunking. 1/10

Labour: vote for us or you'll get RefUK! RefUK are ahead in the polls! WE MIGHT END UP WITH A REFUK GOVERNMENT NEXT TIME!! BEWARE!!! Also Labour: let's make a handy database of brown, black and queer people for when RefUK get in and want to persecute them!

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

tacc.org.uk/2025/08/12/m... There is no part of society that transphobes won't have their grubby little finger all over.

¨All UK adults¨ Including homeless adults? Including throes who don´t own a computer? If you through the Online Safety Act was shit show ... grab your popcorn.

I was thinking about Scotland but SURELY they can't force everyone in Northern Ireland to carry a "Brit card"

Find somebody who wants you like Labour wants ID cards.

Fresh off ensuring that proprietary age verification software providers get plenty of money, the UK Government pushes to siphon off even more public money to private tech companies.

I don't even know who this is meant to appeal to. It might be the one thing they've done purely because they really believe in it. It's genuinely terrible news for most UK demographics, especially older and poorer people

The "Brit Card". Could they make it any more dogwhistly? Also, fundamentally ignores that undocumented workers already, drum roll please, lack documents. Adding another one makes little difference, but does make it harder for people to escape exploitation. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Pleased to say that Morrison Foerster, the firm we sued for discriminating against a young trans man, has agreed to pay all the damages we sought and all our costs. The damages will be donated to four organizations supporting parts of the trans community. goodlawproject.org/law-firm-tha...

Wait are they actually going to call it the "Brit card" I absolutely fucking refuse lol

*incredibly Cliff Richard voice* "You're all going in a/ Giant Database"

Digital ID cards. Whose life is going to be improved by this? Other than the shareholders and CEO of the consultants and tech companies implementing it

“Show your Btitcard to use this toilet” innit

okay now I'm actively hoping for the Labour government to collapse before they can implement this, even if we get Reform instead www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

‘A Londoner spreading deepfakes of white women saying they don’t feel safe “because of migrants” told me impatiently that everyone knows the videos aren’t real, but I was missing the point: “It’s about us showing everyone what’s really happening.”’ Claire Wilmot: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/se...

Roz is a badass. Roz is also an amazing poet. But more than this, Roz is a walking talking reminder of how confected this stupid bloody trans panic of the last few years has been. She's been a woman for longer than Wes "lickspittle cunt" Streeting has been alive, and she's worth a million of him.

Only found out from a subway poster that the new Divine Comedy album has come out, oops. I missed out on getting tickets to the Concert Hall gig too, might go to the Usher Hall but don't even know if I can be arsed

A real mystery how these lads lost Scotland, isn’t it. Scottish Parliament election next year, too.

Just saw another journalist (from the FT!) implying that anyone left-wing who thinks the media is a bit shit is no different from a Trumpian anti mainstream media conspiracist

Engraving two bullets with "this bullet only lies" and "this bullet only tells the truth" to really stump the FBI

Maybe don't outsource our important national IT systems to this weirdo, eh

"fearing or regulating it, or opposing technological progress, would hasten the coming of the Antichrist, Thiel said" what the fuck

We're going to make everyone live in a gigantric panopticon and if you don't like it the Prime Minister will call you a nonce

There's not many things that would make me just go offline, but this would do it
