1163 Government Abandons Plans for Compulsory Digital ID To Work in the UK

In this clip, I look at the government’s decision to abandon plans for a compulsory digital ID system to work in the UK and what this signals politically, socially, and culturally.Digital identification has raised serious questions around privacy, civil liberties, surveillance, and public trust, and this shift suggests growing unease about how such systems would be received.This is not a technical breakdown, but a calm reflection on why the plan was dropped, what pressures may have influenced the decision, and what it could mean for future policy discussions around identity, data, and governance.#DigitalID #CivilLiberties #Privacy #UKPolitics #Surveillance #GovernmentPolicy #DigitalIdentity #Freedom #PublicTrust #CurrentAffairs
