Petition Action

Stop Mandatory Digital ID and a Cashless Society in the UK

Petition Details

We call on the Government to reject proposals for mandatory Digital ID and a cashless society. These measures threaten privacy, freedom, and financial independence.

Additional Information

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.
