Kit Knightly – Off-Guardian Aug 6, 2025
I’m starting to think a full-scale, nationwide compulsory digital ID won’t ever be a thing. Not officially, anyway. Not for quite a while.
It’s a vibe I feel coming off the news that gels more with the current methodology – the indirect authoritarianism of the easier path. Piecemeal tyranny washed in on waves of convenience.
According to a 2023 report (which resurfaced last week for some reason), in the near future, British citizens will likely need electronic “Carbon Passports” to travel. These will be digital documents that track and limit your travel based on carbon emissions.
During Covid, digital “vaccine passes” were needed to differentiate those who had been vaccinated from those who had not. If and when another “pandemic” rolls around, they will be used again.
From the end of this year, British driver’s licenses will be digital and accessed through the government’s wallet app. In the future, your road tax will be paid via GPS tracking of your car, linked to your driver’s license.
Late last year, the government began replacing previous immigration documents with “eVisas”, a process which is due to complete before the end of 2025.
The Online Safety Act has brought in widespread age verification online. Wouldn’t that be so much easier if we had a government app, like the one being trialled in the EU, which verifies your age “whilst keeping all other personal information private”?
In short, even before we officially have the infamous Digital ID, every interaction with the state is being digitised via an app on your phone, which you likely carry around with you all day, every day.
It must be taken entirely on trust that the app which tracks your international travel, the app which tracks your car, the app which tracks your taxes, the app which tracks your immigration status, the app which tracks your health records and the app which verifies your age are all entirely separate.
Do you truly believe they are?
The fact of the matter is that, in one form or another, every proposed usage of digital ID scheme either already exists or will do so in the near future.
The only reason to formally unify it into a single mandatory ID badge would be normalisation, a watermark transformation of the mental and emotional relationship between citizen and state.
I’m beginning to think we will have digital ID – brought in a little at time – for years before anyone in power decides to call it by its true name
And they won’t do that until they’re asked.
Starmer’s proposed national ID scheme may be theatrically scrapped, a development which could be sold as a massive win for human rights even while the digital ID infrastructure remains.
In the intervening years, the performatively “separate” apps and trackers and forms will be plagued by much-publicised “inefficiencies”, which columnists will complain “cost the taxpayer millions in the name of mythical privacy”. Campaigns will call for “a more unified digital system” which “boosts interdepartmental communication” in the name of “increasing efficiency and cutting administration costs”.
…And then they’ll pull back the curtain, and announce the “streamlined” digital identity service, which will have existed for years but never been acknowledged.
But maybe I’m wrong. It could be the introduced tomorrow.

To me this seems like part of a whole new concept to policing. One that’s cheap, and because it won’t tick all the boxes policing used to tick there will be serious crimes which are hardly investigated if at all, because most will happen to ordinary people living down ordinary streets. They won’t need to care about that. Private security is becoming a thing and as that rises, policing paid for by taxes will fall as will high-end taxation. They will need to keep some shell of a police force because we have two- and three- and even four-tier policing, and this class-ridden society still needs police to protect the top tier, that tier which itself is often beyond the reach of prosecution for its own crimes. Digital ID is a part of all this, and the police in Kent have actually paid for a private security service to police an area for five days a week, cheap, while they cover the area on Fridays and Saturdays. They want us policing each other.

Fifth line down should read ‘private policing is becoming a thing’.
Watch: ‘Invasion Fatigue’ Strikes As Spanish Beach-Goers Tackle Boat-Full Of Illegal Immigrants
The video shot in the Granada town of Castell de Ferro shows a speed boat pull up in what is clearly a coordinated trafficking attempt before around a dozen North Africans jump into the water and begin to swim to shore.
While police were chasing the illegals, frustrated Spaniards joined in, with several attempting to stop the migrants.
And the locals all need Digital ID’s…

Toss the Smershphones in the trash & their evolving techno-Communist slave society ends. For the Smershphone is the medium to techno-Communism.
i don’t know, but one thing people are noticing out there is that this eurasian Rothschild installed to be the President of Russia–as it ages its coming to look more and more like Rudolf Steiner’s Ahriman bust…f*cking weird

with them . Igot some subscription offers from a typical
jew to get some of his Linux programs . Idont take .
I could send my ejaculations directly to mossad if
I trusted him . surely he has put a closedsurce code
on that DVD . Dond buy Linux from a jew !
If you put the lobster into tepid water and turn up the heat, the lobster doesn’t flinch and is cooked alive peacefully. If you drop him into scalding hot water, he flails and wails. Americans are of the former persuasion.
