🚨 This is from Paul Walsh a veteran and Father of "Far Right" rioter 👇🏼 "Just sat in Portsmouth magistrates court and watched my son plead guilty for throwing a traffic cone which was caught on camera from the disturbance at Southampton on Tuesday over the two tied policing and that poor boys death by the hands of the police ....... I don't condone violence towards the police but my son is only 21 and got caught up in the moment, he informs me it didn't even hit them just thrown towards there lines... Firstly it was a kangaroo court, the solicitor informed me before entry that it will be the district Crown court judge that over seen the southport rioters court case presiding and with that he appeared on a big screen once my son came up from the cells... Took his guilty plea then informed him by the video link with it being such a high profile case his guilty plea the sentencing guidelines where between 3-5 years for a guilty. With that he said he's remanding him in to custody and he will be sentenced Wednesday morning at Southampton Crown court at 1000 in front of him personally now take him away 😳 If that's not two tied justice i don't know what is and that's a young 21 year old, white boy full time job never been in trouble before and dealt with that swiftly. 😳 And with those sentencing guidelines Am still in shock 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤬🤬🤬 — feeling helpless."

10 Good Reasons To Scrap The Government Digital ID Scheme 1.⁠ ⁠More Control. Less Freedom. Digital ID hands the state unprecedented control. This is new and completely different to a passport or driving licence. We risk making basic freedoms conditional on database approval. 2.⁠ ⁠Voluntary Today, Mandatory Tomorrow? What starts as "voluntary convenience" will likely mission creep into a compulsory system tied to every aspect of life: jobs, internet access, banking, healthcare, benefits.... risking "social credit-lite." 3.⁠ ⁠Britain Never Voted For This. It's totally undemocratic. Never in manifesto. 3m signed petition against. Public rejected Blair’s ID cards before - and for good reason. 4.⁠ ⁠Hack Once, Expose Millions? We all know our data isn’t safe in government hands. Huge digital ID databases will be prime hacking targets, and stolen biometric data can never be replaced. The state's track record - think Horizon, Afghan data breach or Companies House recently - is absolutely dire. 5.⁠ ⁠Stop The "Papers, Please" Culture. Government Digital ID normalises a "Papers, Please" culture that erodes anonymity and the presumption of innocence. 6.⁠ ⁠Leaves Vulnerable People Behind. It's almost certain to exclude and disadvantage the most vulnerable, locking people out of aspects of society or services due to lack of access, skills, or system errors. 7.⁠ ⁠Another Billion-Pound IT Failure? £1.8bn for starters, paid for by cuts to other things. Threatens to become another costly IT failure with huge expense, little benefit. Total costs from Blair's scrapped ID cards were up to £20bn, said London School of Economics. 8.⁠ ⁠Surveillance State By Stealth. A national digital ID system reshapes the citizen-state relationship and builds a permanent surveillance infrastructure. 9.⁠ ⁠One Glitch, Locked Out? Risks punishing ordinary people through glitches, outages, and new penalties for non-compliance. How do you fancy filling in the gaps on their new database, in your own time, on pain of fines? 10.⁠ ⁠Trust Future Governments With This? Even if you trust this one, do you trust all future governments? Obviously not, since you don't know who they will be. It creates lasting tools of control that future governments could easily abuse. @uklabour, you must scrap this undemocratic, dangerous scheme Join the campaign to say #ScrapDigitalID at: togetherdeclaration.org/ID
