Background
The UK Government must not introduce mandatory Digital ID or abolish physical cash. – Digital ID centralises power and risks creating the framework for a social credit system. – A cashless society removes personal choice and forces every transaction to be tracked. – Together, these measures undermine privacy, freedom, and democracy. We demand that Parliament guarantees: 1. No mandatory Digital ID for UK citizens. 2. Protection of the right to use physical cash in all transactions. 3. A commitment that no citizen will be penalised for lawful opinions, purchases, or choices.
