Sir Tony Blair, together with ex-Tory leader William Hague, has called on the Government to introduce a digital ID that people can have on their phones that would hold details such as their passport, driving licence, tax records, qualifications and right to work status. Frighteningly, a poll by YouGov (who else?) showed that more than half of respondents supported such an invasive and high-risk surveillance project. The Mail has more.
Sir Tony – who attempted to introduce ID cards while in Downing Street – insisted that new biometric technology would overcome concerns about online dangers.
He and Lord Hague have insisted that a “fundamental reshaping of the state around technology” is needed amid a “radically” shaping world.
Critics hit back at the push for digital IDs, with ex-Tory chairman Sir Jake Berry branding it “a creepy state plan to track you from the cradle to the grave”.
Campaign group Big Brother Watch condemned Sir Tony for “reviving failed proposals for an intrusive mass digital identity system and a database state”.
But a snap poll by YouGov revealed more than half of Britons (54%) would support the introduction of a system of national ID cards in Britain.
According to the survey of more than 4,000 adults today, almost a quarter (23%) said they would strongly support national ID cards, with 31% saying they would tend to support such a plan.
This compared to 13% who said they would tend to oppose the introduction of national ID cards and 14% who said they would strongly oppose such a plan. Almost one in five (18%) replied “don’t know”. …
Outlining their proposals [in a joint article for the Times] for a shake-up of Whitehall – including digital IDs for every citizen – they also called for “a national health infrastructure that uses data to improve care and keep costs down, and sovereign AI systems backed by supercomputing capabilities”. …
In an interview with BBC Radio 4’s Today programme this morning, Sir Tony highlighted how countries “as small as Estonia and as large as India’ are moving towards digital IDs. If you look at the biometric technology that allows you to do digital ID today, it can overcome many of these problems,” he added.
The Government appeared to rule out taking up Sir Tony and Lord Hague’s advice – for now. The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “There are no plans to introduce digital ID. Our position on physical ID remains unchanged.”
“No plans” – we’ve heard that before.

I wonder if David McGrogan will read this?
Obviously as a conspiracy realist my only conclusion is that the FDA and CDC clearly have something to hide.
I wonder what that might be?
Well, on speculation, there was clearly something amiss with the methodology used by Pfizer trials in particular, that caused half the trial participants to quit before finishing! Around 50% of the participants did not complete the trials. Why might this have been? If it was illness, then can it be dismissed as coincidence that as much as half of them were too ill to continue after receiving the jab? These volunteers were surely being paid to put their health at risk for an unknown drug, so they would have been financially incentivized to continue!
Furthermore, the placebo group ended up being given the mRNA shot anyway. Is it any wonder they’re compelled to withhold such ridiculous methodologies and details?
For one, 14 y/o Maddie de Garay’s life was destroyed by that trial. They said it was all in her head and refused to pay for her treatment, despite promises made on the consent form.
Her parents should be prosecuted for child abuse. What kind of parent – who doesn’t have a serious ill or dying child who just might benefit from an experimental product – would volunteer their child to be experimented on?

“In conclusion, the results suggest the existence of a batch-dependent safety signal for the BNT162b2 vaccine, and more studies are warranted to explore this preliminary observation and its consequences.”

“The FDA and Vaccine Manufacturers Still Refuse to Show Us Their Work”
Come on lads! What could they possibly have to hide?
Nothing at all….It will all be clear and transparent in 75 years time!
The mantra of bigpharme as regards ALL new drugsand genetic therapies ie the modified (not messenger RNA – that would not work as it would be destroyed by the immune system) MRNA jabs, they need to know the 3 D’s –
Dosage.
Distribution (as in where, how and why throughout the body).
Duration.
All were and still are, unknown.
I’ll add a 4th to the list of D’s-
Deadliness.
By God we badly need a whistleblower genetic engineer from high up the bigpharma food chain.
Why has this not happened yet, -fear of retribution, threats, being paid for omerta. or maybe they’re quite happy with their work…
Sock Puppet Sunak assures us the jabs are safe.
There’s no need for transparency; assured quality or any information about structure and molecular weight.
The entirely trustworthy midget WEF puppet and PM-with-no-mandate (no medical qualifications whatsoever, but his Mum was a Pharmacist don’cha know) has declared they’re OK.
What more reassurance could anyone want.
FDA not fit for purpose, and covering their arses and those of Big Pharma
