Alan Miller joins us to discuss how public pushback helped stop the proposed digital ID scheme and why current expansions — One Login, the Gov.uk app, digital driving licences and wider digitisation — still risk building a biometric surveillance state. He covers the campaign tools that worked (petitions, protests, letters to MPs), the push of company directors and the self-employed into digital systems, the need to protect analog options, links to banking, cash and central bank digital currency, and why continued campaigning, free speech defence and signing the Together Declaration pledge remain essential.
Alan Miller started his career in the nightlife industry, co-founding London's Old Truman Brewery, the Night Time Industries Association and latterly #OpenForAll which was launched in response to the threat of vaccine passports. He is a writer, producer and director, appearing regularly on mainstream news channels, championing civil liberties. In his work in the hospitality and business sector, Alan has demonstrated an ability to change policy at the highest level of government. He has experience working with local councils, influencing mayoral leadership in various cities as well as lobbying the Home Office, the Treasury, DCMS and BEIS while ensuring mainstream media coverage. He brings this vast wealth of experience and is now working full-time with #together which he co-founded in response to the government's draconian covid measures.
