Keir Starmer’s proposed Digital ID, the “Brick Card,” could reshape life in the UK, but is it safe? In this episode of the Future Proof Podcast, Jav and Michael break down why so many people are against it, the risks of centralised data, and how AI could be used to enforce surveillance and control.

We also compare the UK’s passive response to government overreach with the US, explore conspiracy theories that are no longer theories, and ask: does this system open the door to a cashless, social credit-style society?

Watch now and join the debate—would you accept a Digital ID, or would you walk away?
