Trialing surveillance on disabled people

If you want to support our work fighting for a freer future, please join us: The Government is sneaking in new powers to spy on all of our bank accounts on the premise of dealing with welfare fraud and error. Sign the petition | It will force banks to flag people who meet secret criteria to the government. Everyone wants fraudulent uses of public money to be dealt with, and the government already has strong powers to check the bank statements of suspects. But this is a major expansion of government power that takes away our financial privacy like never before and does away with the presumption of innocence - the democratic principle that you shouldn’t be spied on unless police suspect you of wrongdoing. People who are disabled, sick, carers or looking for work should not be treated like criminals by default. None of us should. We must stop this!
