Have any of those petitions ever changed anything? I might as well shout 'I don’t want a digital ID' down the toilet, it’d be just as effective. And that’s coming from someone who’s against digital IDs.


> Have any of those petitions ever changed anything?

What's the alternative? Not do anything and hope things change by themselves? Has that worked in the past? Is doing something than better nothing?


Well, 2 million plus have signed the petition and 90% of those people will go along with the scheme when it is introduced - because it will be convenient to do so.

Tell me how you plan to survive living off-grid whilst standing firm against it.


Signing an online petition isn't better than doing nothing and is arguably worse.
