Of course Butterworth is a fan of digital ID. There was never a stupid idea he didn't like.

But social media ban is basically a backdoor for it.....
@
MY QUESTION TO BURNHAM IS IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE ONES, WILL YOU CALL A GENERAL ELECTION?? SO SOMEONE ELSE CAN.
@
If you do the complete opposite to what Starmer did you won't go far wrong.

It’s because they don’t want to alienate illegal workers who will suffer due to digital ID

good now abolish the online safety act

edit for clarity: I’m referring to ofcom going on a power trip, age verification and censorship. that all needs to stop. parents should be parents and they need to be educated about online safety along with their kids
