What’s the REAL motive behind the Tories’ racist ‘EU Settlement Scheme’?
The UK’s Conservative government is creating a central register for one minority in the UK – EU citizens – holding data it can share freely and in secret with undisclosed private and public organisation in the UK and across the world. Why?
Bear in mind that the current Tory administration is well-known as a persecutor of minorities. Consider its treatment of the Windrush generation, of people with disabilities, and of those with long-term illnesses.
I’ve already explored the basics of this horrible idea.
Here’s the3million Twitter account – the largest grassroots organisation of EU27 citizens in the UK, campaigning to protect citizens’ rights – to explain the rest:
1/ The @ukhomeoffice is forcing every EU citizen applying for Settled Status to accept its Privacy policy that allows it to share all data with "public and private sector organisations in the UK and overseas". We now have a reply to our freedom of information request… pic.twitter.com/7Ta3t93lUQ

3/ Though the Home Office is holding that information it is refusing to provide it. "[…] the disclosure […] will make the application system vulnerable to malicious attacks and hamper our ability to effectively operate immigration control." pic.twitter.com/8ahPAmch1Y

5/ We thought that the Settled Status system does nothing else but checking HMRC & DWP records and does a criminality check against national & International crime databases. How knowing where & by whom data is processed allows to circumvent this is beyond us.

The thread concludes: “In summary, the UK Govt is creating a central register just for one minority in the UK, EU citizens, holding data it can share freely & in secret with undisclosed private & public organisation in the UK & across the world. This is truly shocking. /end https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/settled_status_app_data_privacy#outgoing-838331 …
Professor Tanja Bueltmann has made a video clip explaining the implications:

In response to the latest revelations, she has added: “This is a *much bigger* scandal than the Home Office clip about settled status. Make sure you read this. Herein also lies to answer to a question many have asked me about what you can do to help: support @The3Million! One direct route to do so is here.
The link encourages you to become an “EU Citizens Champion”, donating funds to support the campaign for a legal immigration status that will protect all EU citizens and their families after Brexit and for the rest of their lives.

Will you really stand aside and let the Tories launch another Windrush scandal? Are you really the kind of person who’ll let a criminal government persecute anyone else, until there’s nobody left to help when they come for you?
I don’t think so.
Please prove me right.

I’m sure you mean bigoted racism is a fascist concept, but the institutional bigotry of the so called freedom of movement, like positive discrimination discriminated against those not in receipt of it. Remainers like the eu’s freedom of movement, because by flooding the nation with white guys, no matter if qualified, it keeps those black and coloureds out from 164 non Eu nations and doesn’t matter they could be qualified.
Unless I’m mistaken, the immigration figures prove that you are mistaken.
I do recall a similar scheme where ID numbers were tattooed on bodies, because they didn’t have Andriod phones back then to tattoo them on.
The bones of Oswald Moseley must be doing a happy jig with those of Thatcher in some dark crypt somewhere inside the M25 circle.
it’s a shame this kind of macabre nonsense will be enacted before climate catastrophe and the sixth extinction level event wipes out six-sevenths of us.
ID Numbers! I geddit!
Same they done in the building trade never trust these blighters
In all my 73 years I have never known such a nasty, bigoted and totally dishonest and corrupt government. It really is evil and not far removed from the Nazi Party in the early 1930s (the Nazis started with minor discrimination against minorities and became more and more evil).
