London, the city where kings once overthrew and where citizens now rebel against QR codes. Thousands of Britons marched through the streets over the weekend to defend what's left of "privacy" – while Prime Minister Keir Starmer apparently decided to give Orwell a software update.
Under the heroic pretext of "combating illegal migration," they now want to impose a digital ID on every working person by 2029. Sure, that sounds like security. Or, as they say in official jargon: "freedom with enhanced surveillance functions." Anyone who thinks this is only about work permits hasn't read the app's terms and conditions.
Sir David Davis, an old-fashioned conservative with a modicum of common sense, calls the whole thing "deeply dangerous for privacy and fundamental rights." And he's right—but that doesn't bother anyone as long as the ID is designed in pretty pastel colors and boasts "Face Unlock."
Meanwhile, the people march and shout "No to digital ID!" – ironically filmed by a hundred government surveillance cameras, analyzed by algorithms that, in turn, already calculate the appropriate risk profile score. Organizers warn: "If you accept digital IDs now, it could be your last real decision." But don't worry – in the future, every decision will be made for you anyway: by apps that know when you're working, sleeping, traveling, or thinking too critically.
Digital progress today means voluntarily losing your freedom via an update. It's called "innovation" – until someone realizes that the government now knows when you go to the bathroom. Welcome to Great Britain in 2029. The good news: You no longer need a passport. The bad news: You no longer have free will either...
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
