Revelation 13:17
--A Tool, Mechanism that could be used for controlling buying and selling by the government.
"A petition calling on Sir Keir Starmer not to push ahead with plans to introduce digital ID for all British adults has surged past 1.5 million signatures.
The petition, still awaiting a response from Sir Keir's Government,
soared by more than a million in fewer than 24 hours from Thursday into Friday.
Among the most engaged constituencies include Nigel Farage's seat of Clacton, with the Prime Minister also facing a local fight from hundreds of residents in his own seat of Holborn & St Pancras.
The one million signature milestone was reached just hours after Sir Keir unveiled his proposal to introduce mandatory digital ID cards during a keynote speech.
"You will not be able to work in the UK if you don't have a digital ID, it's as simple as that," the Prime Minister told attendees at the Global Progress Action Summit in London.
The card, which is reportedly called a "Brit Card", should be able to verify an individual’s right to live and work in the UK.

Despite growing support, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has come out against the introduction of digital ID.
Mr. Farage said: "All that digital ID will be is a means of controlling the population, of telling us what we can and can't do, of fining the innocent. And didn't we see it all when we had the pandemic when
you had to have vaccine ID to travel, to do various things?
Did that stop the Covid pandemic spreading?

Did that stop the Covid pandemic spreading?
All it did was put cost and inconvenience on everyone else. I also worry about massive data banks being held by the Government being hacked by foreign governments, by private companies, by criminals. I do not see a single benefit to the Government having digital ID, other than them controlling what we do, what we spend and where we go."
Meanwhile, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch stopped short of taking a side on digital ID.
She instead warned: “This announcement is a desperate gimmick that will do nothing to stop the boats. There are arguments for and against digital ID, but mandating its use would be a very serious step that requires a proper national debate."
