A small black cat perches on a radiator, looking directly at the camera with a look of impatience; his mouth is slightly open as he has just finished a plaintive miaow due to having never been fed, EVER.

Oh if it's a pin badge I have some hardcore backs for them that you have to tighten with an actual Allen key, if you'd like one?

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.
