All our bank accounts could come under Government surveillance under the premise of detecting welfare fraud.
⚠️This is a major expansion of state power that takes away our financial privacy.

People who are disabled, sick or carers should not be treated like criminals by default.
None of us should.
Guilty until proven innocent - the new bank spying powers
do away with the presumption of innocence.
It will force banks to flag people who meet SECRET criteria to the government.
Stop Britain from becoming a nation of suspects.
@ecksmc I despise big governments... I like the idea of the government as a distant friend, but the last thing I want it to be is an over involved nanny.
We need regulators of markets, and referees of business and law, but they need to stay out of people's personal lives IMHO.
@ecksmc As a disabled woman with a husband who is her full-time carer that makes us a crime family. Such fun! 😉

Britain is sleepwalking into becoming a checkpoint society.
The Gov't is introducing a giant digital identity system for us to access basic services like tax and benefits.
Stop Britain sleepwalking into a database state. Support the campaign to give you a legal alternative to digital ID.
