Earlier this month, Labour Party peer Lord David Blunkett, who was forced to resign from two positions in Tony Blair’s government due to his involvement in scandals, called for reintroducing national identity (“ID”) cards, arguing that it could be the country’s solution for unchecked immigration and human trafficking.
“Identity cards are a simple, practical and affordable answer, one that would shatter the business model of organised international gangs making billions from human trafficking,” Lord Blunkett wrote in an opinion piece in The Daily Mail on 2 April.
Identity cards are a contentious issue in British politics, with different opinions being held by various parties. Lord Blunkett’s assertion that migrants would be deterred from coming to the UK if they were unable to work or claim benefits without an identity card was contradicted by his own political party.
“There are already ID requirements for foreign citizens living or working in the UK. But the problem is there are no proper checks or enforcement to prevent illegal working and exploitation,” a Labour Party spokesperson told The Daily Telegraph.
During the early 2000s, the UK government attempted to introduce identity cards and many of the arguments recently presented by Lord Blunkett are the same as those highlighted back then. As the home secretary under Prime Minister Tony Blair, Blunkett proposed compulsory identity cards as a solution for various issues, including illegal migration, benefit fraud, identity theft and the threat of terrorism after 9/11.
As Peter Hitchens wrote in the Daily Mail, Lord Blunkett is as wrong now as he was 20 years ago when he tried to introduce identity cards, a supposed cure-all for our problems whose supporters never think very hard about the subject.
For certain, they were less than no use at all when they were imposed on this country at the outbreak of World War Two in September 1939. I have combed the archives for any evidence that they ever helped uncover a spy ring or anything of that kind.
Though you will not be surprised to learn that a black market in stolen cards quickly sprang up, or that half a million people managed to lose theirs in the first two years of the war.
They would, of course, have been very useful to the Nazis, had they ever arrived, in rounding up Jews and other persons they wanted to kill.

Some political commentators speculate that ID cards could divide the government during the upcoming general elections.
Opponents have been warning against an identity card system for decades, and for good reason. For example, in 2007, the civil rights group Liberty argued that identity cards are a pathway to less privacy and greater surveillance – a notion that was fuelled by the plan to build a biometric database of UK citizens called the National Identification Register.
The UK government, headed by a Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition, finally repealed the law governing the identity scheme in 2010 and closed down the biometric database in 2011. The project was dubbed “wasteful, bureaucratic and intrusive.”
But Labour politicians have kept the identity cards scheme alive. Shadow immigration minister Stephen Kinnock argued in late 2022 that it would assure control over borders. The Tony Blair Institute, which backs digital identification development across the globe, has also expressed support for the project.

In the video below, Big Brother Watch summarises where Lord Blunkett’s resuscitated push for his failed identity cards scheme would lead and why we must resist his plans.
“Lord Blunkett’s plan is clearly an attempt to keep tabs on the entire population and would turn us into walking barcodes,” the video explains.

So, who owns and holds jurisdiction of these digital cards? The beneficiaries do not! So what use are they ?
Useful to bullies and control freaks.
Rishi Sunaks wife has a company that’s stands to make billions form ID cards.
Never comply with digital ID cards. What would follow is the force feeding of digital cash and bugs for dinner. Refuse to comply.
Provide an image of any map, now or past, showing a country called the UK. Or Britain.
Any idiot filling in forms and making claims to be a British citizen or UK citizen, are in fact giving allegiance to a Corporation. They are then bound by the rules, statutes etc of that Corporation.
We fought this disgusting horrific idea off with NO2ID over a decade ago. This was sold to the public as being the answer to illegal immigration: a cynical lie. especially in the light of UN Global Compact for Migration.
They wanted to force us to have a day off work to line up and be fingerprinted like criminals and interrogated about all our private affairs, under pain of horrific fines.
How does it fit in with Digital ID though.
Anyway, resist both with all your might.
Usually when a thing like this rears its ugly head, corruption is in the background.
I also remember an article about Blunkett gaining financially from this and will try to trace where I read this over a decade ago.
Try Private Eye as a first resort. Thanks.
ALL the problems of the world come from the Inner City of London.
Evil personified.
In last nights webinar, Anna Von Reitz is calling for nations to come together and bomb the smithereens out of London.
To put an end once and for all, to this evil stench that plagues Earth for nothing more than greed and profit.

Hi Rhoda,
An interesting article, id cards are old hat now according to Dr Ana Maria Milhacea.
Seems we have been sprayed with nano metals by Chemtrails for years.
This nano metal, same as in the C19 fluid, enables us to be tracked and traced from space satellites ?
