The British government’s push for mandatory Digital ID cards—straight out of the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates’ globalist playbook—has triggered massive backlash.
According to Bill Gates, citizens of Western nations must submit to the digital ID system or risk exclusion from society. “If a person cannot prove who they are, can they take advantage of all of the opportunities society has to offer?” wrote Gates on his Gates Notes blog.
A petition to kill the scheme in the UK exploded past one million signatures in just 24 hours and continues to climb, as furious citizens rejected what they see as a blueprint for digital authoritarian control.
The petition had been quietly circulating since mid-summer, slowly inching past 100,000 signatures—until the government staged a soft launch of its identity crackdown Thursday night. Ministers framed it as “modern security measures,” but critics saw it for what it is: wartime-style ID papers, digitized and centralized in a government database.
By Friday morning, the Prime Minister made the formal announcement, and outrage boiled over. The petition exploded past one million signatures in just 24 hours, a clear signal of public rejection against the globalist blueprint for digital control.
Breitbart report: At time of publication, the petition had picked up over 1.2 million backers. The drive is on the UK government’s official petition website, where any cause can be put to the public.
Under the state’s own rules, if a petition gets 10,000 signatures, the government is obliged to issue a written response to the petitioners. If a petition reaches 100,000, the petition can be “considered” for a debate in Parliament.
In reality, petitions that don’t already align with the government’s intentions are generally ignored. Unlike in countries that practice direct democracy, like Switzerland, there is no mechanism for public petitions to actually force change.
Nevertheless, the petition is a potentially useful barometer for public feeling on the ID document issue.
As things stands, opposition has come from an astonishingly broad cross-section of British political life, from Nigel Farage’s Reform UK to the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, and even rebels inside the governing Labour Party.
