Well, looks like I’m going to have to retire in the next couple of years. Under absolutely no circumstances will I be getting a ‘mandatory’ digital ID! I’ve got a passport, a driving licence and various other forms of ID. Oh, and even my original NI card. No, thanks Kier
‼️ KEIR STARMER: “Let me spell that out. You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have Digital ID.” ‼️ Keir Starmer has now addressed the UK public, saying that a Digital ID will be required to work in this country. But here’s the truth: they only succeed if we comply. There is power in numbers. Remember when they tried to make vaccination mandatory for all NHS staff? Enough people stood up and said NO - and it collapsed. It became impossible to enforce. The same applies now. If we unite and refuse Digital ID, their plan cannot work. Do not give away your freedom for the illusion of security. Stand strong. Say NO together. #digitalid #digitalidentity #wakeup #newworldorder #wewillnotcomply #freedom #agenda2030 #keirstarmer

If you are wondering why HE dominates the entire post-18 education system, simple examples like this in our new @EDSKthinktank report shed some light on the situation. The sheer scale of inequity is hard to ignore.
University students can access maintenance loans of up to £13,000, but students on higher-level FE courses in colleges are ineligible for these loans and must pay for living costs and course expenses out of their own pocket. Our new report explains more: bit.ly/3LzFzal

Politicians betting on the outcome of elections! 1. What on earth are people who want to be in important positions of authority doing betting on politics? 2. The levels of blatant, in your face, total & utter lack of any moral compass is astounding-absolute disgrace! Vile people
