We buried eugenics because it claimed moral purity through science. We now repeat the pattern through carbon. Every age finds a new heresy to burn. My new Substack — The Purity of Ideas: From Eugenics to Energy open.substack.com/pub/deepsi…

No arsenal fan can say they’re happy watching this nonsense. It’s the most boring sport form I’ve ever watched

In Rome for the marathon.. unfortunately walked past a Palestinian march - what a fucking joke. Surely the runners are going through worse?

Pretty sure I’ve just broken @grok trying to talk about the Caduceus of Albion

Just been racially abused by a taxi driver who blocked my drive — turned round shouting “you white pricks are all the same, fuck off you c*nt.” I didn’t antagonise him, just flashed my lights and indicated. Took the dog out, came back to find a blacked-out BMW parked across the pavement and drive for over 25 minutes. Pure intimidation — and when I called police, the line cut as soon as I said it was a hate crime against a white person.

Hi @grok when was the last terror attack caused by a white national in the uk?

They tell you Digital ID is a modest, technocratic reform: a way to “modernise services”, make benefits simpler, stop illegal hiring. That is the sales pitch. The truth is darker and more boring in its brilliance: it is the creation of a new administrative gate by which the state — with private infrastructure and firms profiting from surveillance — turns citizenship into a permission. This is not conspiracy. It is a pattern. Davos-style globalism promotes interoperable data standards and “trusted” identity frameworks; Big Tech builds the wallets; banks and employers act as gatekeepers; and governments are handed an apparatus that can be switched on against ordinary people faster than the press can react. When identity becomes a scaffold controlled by a handful of platforms, it ceases to be a tool and becomes a lever. Starmer fronting Digital ID is the definition of political theatre. He volunteers to be the public face of a policy engineered in alliance with committees, think-tanks and commercial partners who profit from the capture of identity. He will take the outrage. He will take the headlines. And when the inevitable downturn arrives — the fiscal moment the establishment always times as a reset — the choreography begins: call an election, blame the last government for “instability”, let the markets punish the incumbents, and watch the pendulum swing back to the managerial class who promise to tidy up the mess. Make no mistake: this is not about illegal immigration or faster services. It is about administrative capacity and leverage. A Digital ID system that decides who can be vetted for work, rent accommodation, borrow or travel is a system that can discipline dissent, enforce compliance, and calibrate outcomes without passing new laws. It is governance by infrastructure — slow, silent, and hard to undo. And who profits? Not the public. The beneficiaries are platforms that monetise identity attributes; consultancies who design the governance; and a class of bureaucrats and financiers who prefer rule by algorithm to messy politics. The World Economic Forum did not invent digital identity, but it has been a clearing house for standards and a cheerleader for public-private solutions. That influence matters. When an idea moves from Davos white paper to ministerial briefing to policy, the public is meant to accept the slide as inevitable. It isn’t. This is the moment for exposure and resistance. Don’t let this be normalised because it is packaged as “progress”. Demand parliamentary scrutiny, audits of contracts and data flows, and real privacy guarantees in statute — not an opt-out buried in terms and conditions. Insist policymakers explain, in plain language, why centralised access to work, welfare and commerce is necessary, and show alternatives: decentralised verification, paper options, and strict limits on retention and use. If they push this through, make them name the mechanism by which you can be denied the right to work. Make them show the logs and the kill-switch. Force them to fight in daylight, where every promise can be checked and every vendor named. This is not a technocratic tweak. It is the architecture of a new dependence. If you value liberty, you must treat it as a political front line. This isn’t melodrama. It’s a power problem dressed as a policy problem. The elites will tell you there are safeguards. They always do. Trust them at your peril. Resist the quiet centralisation. Expose the networks. Name the firms. Call the committees into public evidence. Drag the designers of this system into the light and make them account for what they mean by “trusted”. We can stop this. We must stop this — not because it’s nostalgia for a less technological age, but because liberty has always meant this: you must be able to live and make a living without a bureaucrat flicking a switch. That line matters more than party politics. It is the line between free people and managed subjects. Cross it at your peril.

Labour has the audacity to claim ownership of ‘British values’ while undermining the very foundations of this country. This is propaganda 101: say the opposite of what you actually stand for and hope people forget the difference.

Propaganda posters promising “safety” and “fairness” while they build the infrastructure for surveillance and control. Every authoritarian regime in history has used the same trick: sell obedience as security. Digital ID is not progress. It’s the end of liberty.

Only the terminally naïve could look at digital ID and call it “progress.” It hands the state the keys to your life — every purchase, every login, every crossing point logged and tracked. And yet the left clap along, too busy painting rainbow murals to notice they’re cheering in the architecture of a surveillance state. History will not be kind to the useful idiots.

Remember when “digital ID” was just a conspiracy theory? Funny how quickly conspiracy theories become government policy. Now the plan is here: a mandatory digital ID for every adult in Britain. This is not about immigration. It is not about fraud. It is not about convenience. It is about control. The British state never punishes the offenders. It punishes everyone. We saw it with the Online “Safety” Act. We saw it with voter ID rules once branded racist. Now we see it again with digital ID. Digital ID will not stop boats. It will not stop gangs. It will not fix a broken border. Criminals will adapt. Honest citizens will pay the price. What it will do: • Build vast data banks of everything you do, everywhere you go, everything you buy and say • Link your identity to every checkpoint of daily life • Turn rights into permissions granted or withdrawn at will And it will fail. Because centralising identity means centralising failure. One insider threat. One ransomware attack. One breach rolling quietly through backups. On trigger day the system locks. Registers encrypted. Backups useless. Payments stalled. Benefits frozen. Borders clogged. Citizens frozen out of daily life until a ransom is paid or the state rebuilds from scratch. This is not theory. We spend hundreds of billions every year on cyber security and the breaches keep breaking records. Now imagine that risk tied to everything you need to live. Function creep is inevitable. It starts as login. Then money. Then travel. Then speech. Then services. Rights slowly mutate into permissions. Liberty shrinks. Britain scrapped ID cards in 2010 for a reason. The costs were high, the risks higher, and the idea wholly un-British. We must refuse again. Without mass compliance, the system cannot function. Naivety is the human disease — “it can’t happen here.” Resistance is the cure. Britain does not need a checkpoint society. It needs freedom.

Jesus, I’m a staunch Anglo Saxon .. but from Elon’s speech to @antmiddleton at the end. It is the most dystopian language and use of terms ive heard openly yet. The UK will be a @Palantir state and controlled by AI “data” Bravo @davidicke and @garethicke for the early shouts
