Tony Blair and William Hague join forces to peddle a mandatory ‘digital ID’ on the phone of every Briton
If realised, the Blair and Hague plan would be “one of the biggest assaults on privacy ever seen in the UK”
“The former prime minister has joined ex-Tory leader William Hague in calling for the Government to introduce an ID card that people can have on their phones.
“This would hold details such as their passport, driving licence, tax records, qualifications and right to work status …
“In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme … Sir Tony highlighted how countries 'as small as Estonia and as large as India' are moving towards digital IDs …
“Big Brother Watch director Silkie Carlo said: ‘… A sprawling digital identity system of the type described by Sir Tony and Lord Hague … would be one of the biggest assaults on privacy ever seen in the UK.'”
