Of course Butterworth is a fan of digital ID. There was never a stupid idea he didn't like.
@
Hold your celebration, The children's safety act is Digital ID through the backdoor. They still want you to have software installed on your phone to verify your age, and scan your photos and messages. This is nothing more than a diversion to make you think they're backtracking.
@
Why do they keep having Butterworth on? He is a cretin to put it kindly
@
For now...

It’s because they don’t want to alienate illegal workers who will suffer due to digital ID

Butterworth is a complete melt. He should stay at home
@
Can we have freedom of speech back next?
@
MY QUESTION TO BURNHAM IS IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE ONES, WILL YOU CALL A GENERAL ELECTION?? SO SOMEONE ELSE CAN.
@
Now scrutinise every bill and policy to see where they will introduce it through the back door.

good now abolish the online safety act

edit for clarity: I’m referring to ofcom going on a power trip, age verification and censorship. that all needs to stop. parents should be parents and they need to be educated about online safety along with their kids

Believe it when I see it!
