Yvette Cooper is coming for our kids with her dystopian digital ID scheme

Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has confirmed that the government is looking to force the widely and rightly hated Digital ID “mass surveillance and digital control” scheme onto UK children from thirteen years of age, bringing to mind a dystopian children’s TV series.

The Unlisted: where fiction meets reality

In The Unlisted, schools collaborate with governments and corporations to force mind-control devices onto children through implantation sessions in their classrooms, leaving only a few who have managed to avoid implantation able to fight the evil plan.

Cooper defended the Orwellian scheme, claiming that the UK needs a ‘standardised’ process that encompasses children as well as adults. Supposedly, the government’s rationale for the plan is to prevent people working if they’re not entitled to, but its real applications are far darker and effectively the government intends to force all working-age people – and now children – to submit to it. The scheme will also reportedly make billions for the corporations who will implement it – and for former PM and war criminal Tony Blair.

What could possibly go wrong? Well, a huge amount according to Big Brother Watch, which fights the rampant spread of the surveillance state. The group’s director Silkie Carlo described it as ‘chilling’ and opening the way to mass abuses and authoritarianism:

The prospects of enrolling even children into this sprawling biometric ID system is sinister, unjustified and prompts the chilling question of just what Starmer’s government think the digital ID will be used for in the future.

At a time when parents are taking a critical view of whether children should have smartphones, it is shocking that the government is considering enrolling children into this digital ID app.

So sinister is the scheme that even the Lib Dems, never usually shy about going along with the government’s attacks on ordinary people, are spooked, saying that the extension of the scheme to kids shows their warnings about “mission creep” were correct and adding:

It is frankly sinister, unnecessary, and a clear step towards state overreach.

Digital ID: mission creep

The state’s other supposed ‘safeguarding’ and security measures have quickly been exposed as tools for control. The so-called ‘Online Safety Act’ was touted as a means to protect children but has only been used to enable the government to suppress information it doesn’t like – a tool so nefarious that cybersecurity expert Alan Woodward described it as a “technically dangerous and ethically questionable” measure that makes mass state surveillance “almost an inevitability”.

The Starmer government’s order to Apple to create a ‘back door’ for the UK state to snoop on users of its handsets that Amnesty International said.

severely harms the privacy rights of users in the UK and worldwide

And Starmer’s policy of allowing facial recognition to be rolled out is supposedly to catch ‘high harm offenders’ but is being seized upon by police forces to snoop on ordinary people as they go about their business and has already led to wrongful arrests and abuse of people misidentified by AI systems. The Ada Lovelace Institute, which aims to ensure AI and technology work for people and is not used against them, warned that there are no adequate safeguards against even greater abuses – like the illegal police use of everyone’s passport photos to train AI facial recognition against us, which is already happening.

And of course, the government has awarded access to our health data to companies run by Israel fanatics, like the notorious Palantir, whose CEO has said his firm exists to:

scare [US and Israel’s] enemies and on occasion kill them.

Which makes it all the more concerning that the Foreign Secretary of the UK’s genocide-denying, child-slaughterer–enabling government, Yvette Cooper, is the figure rolled out by that government to defend the plan to impose its sinister scheme on children.
