A problem American voters are singularly untroubled by...

[BooBoo]

That's the Way it should bee... Voter ID along with Registration Card...!!! So the addresses Match...!!

[ruthless terrier]

if you don't have a photo ID then you are not smart enough to vote.

[Captain Kirk!]

We always have to show photo ID here TX, what's the problem with that?

[Call_me_Ishmael]

if you don't have a photo ID then you are not smart enough to vote.
Agreed.
I know that could be misused. But you have to draw the line someplace. Someone here said one should own property. I don't. I rent. I don't want to own. Too much trouble. And if the marxist take over, property owners wont be property owners for long. The fucking government is killing me with taxes as I withdraw from my 401k. I paid - and pay - into the system and worked for 50 years. So excuse me but I'd rather have a different requirement... maybe one that in today's world correlates with ability to analyze and understand facts. Obtaining an ID would certainly be a low threshold but is better than none at all.

[Quark]

Wish we could do that here. The only voters denied access to voting booths are Republicans. Democrats can vote, Illegal immigrants can vote, criminals can vote but not Republicans and if you are a White Christian Republican you are double scum of the earth.

[QuaseMarco]

WTF....here in Brazil...no voter ID ..

No vote. What's the problem?

[TLSG]

Voter ID doesn't mean shit, because elections are fake and politicians are appointed.

Good, I'm sure those turned away are not legal voters anyway.

[Wilson2]

if you don't have a photo ID then you are not smart enough to vote.
Exactly. And if a person isn't dedicated enough to go to the polling station on election day then maybe they shouldn't vote.

No I don’t think so! Old people not savvy to online… or card driving licence carriers. Believe it or not I only got one 2 years ago, I’ve had a paper driving licence since 1979

[Wilson2]

No I don’t think so! Old people not savvy to online… or card driving licence carriers. Believe it or not I only got one 2 years ago, I’ve had a paper driving licence since 1979

It doesn't take online activity. How much work is it to go to the DMV and get a new drivers license. Or go to the county or city admin office and get a state ID.

Sorry but if someone doesn't think its important enough to get a photo ID so they can ensure election integrity then maybe they should not vote.

[Quark]

No I don’t think so! Old people not savvy to online… or card driving licence carriers. Believe it or not I only got one 2 years ago, I’ve had a paper driving licence since 1979We are way ahead of you guys there. We've had plastic picture driving licenses for decades. Anybody can apply for get a government plastic picture ID. There is no excuse for not having proper ID in this country.

There are roughly 65 million people in the the UK. Millions of them are unable to identify themselves? What bollox. :geez:

Yep! And our cops do not carry guns, and it’s only a few years ago when they turned up to a scene on bicycles.

Nearest driving licence centre to me is in Swansea in wales :(

...to arrest someone for saying bad words on the internet, no doubt.

Jollye Aulde Englande is a surveillance state second only to communist red china. To posit that millions of people have no ID is beyond laughably absurd.

[Quark]

Yep! And our cops do not carry guns, and it’s only a few years ago when they turned up to a scene on bicycles.Wait a minute I've seen plenty of pictures of your police armed to the teeth with not only pistols but automatic rifles like our M-4. Are some police armed and some are not armed?

The ordinary beat Bobby has no firearms. If there was a weapon situation calls would be made to the specialised weapon police, these are called SO9.
Swat tactical units are at the disposal of the Chief constable.

It’s very peaceful on the whole here in the U.K. it’s a world apart from
you crazies over the pond.
Like it’s been said in the past “to understand a people you have to live amongst them”

Every kind of crazy happens in North America. My guess is that so many people are criminals the police want to check out everyone they stop.

[Trinnity]

There's no justifying lax security in voting. Most people want voter ID, whether they're in the UK or the US or anywhere else.

I haven’t been stopped by a policeman in the street ever! Nor have I been pulled over by a policeman in over 20 years.
I’ve had no reason to prove who I am but! I carry something that is even harder to get than a driving licence.

This is a Gas safe card with all my details on it.

The reason we have so much violent crime is because politicians refuse to keep them in prison when caught and ignore the mentally ill. Other that that crime would be low here. I've only had to shoot 4 criminals. Not that many really. :)

Swat tactical units are at the disposal of the Chief constable.If we did that over here there would be dead cops every where. By the time SWAT got there the crap would be all over.

The hell holes you read about are gun control cities run by Democrats. Areas run by Republicans and where everybody is armed to the teeth are relatively peaceful.

All gun control zones are war zones and all non-gun control zones are relatively peaceful and minimum crime. Sure Montana where I live has some serious crime mostly because of the illegal immigrants and fentanyl but compared to a place like say Seattle or Chicago both gun free/control zones we are pretty safe and that's because Montanans carry just about every where and are heavily armed. Oh and Montana is not a heavily policed state either.

Most people aren't pulled over in this if for no other reason there aren't that many police. What the hell is a gas safe register card? Does this allow you to fart in public?

[Quark]

BTW: Neo you can fit just about one and half Great Britain's in Montana and we have just under 2,000,000 people and we all manage to get a driver's license or state ID card. So what is your problem over there?

[QuaseMarco]

Uk is a world of it's own with an old world view of modern governmnet. Funnty that the culture is the thing.

A black man in Uk that has been there for a while is very likely to speak just as a white man in UK and so is any nationality out and about.

Not to say they are not multilingual because most citizens of european countries do speak multiple languages.

The culture seems mostly English. BUT I have read the foreign forces are trying to make it like this country a mess of unconnected and confrontational sects.

When that happens I wonder who will get to vote.

Seems like it has begun to tear france apart already.

No guns in a country means the people are already controlled by government and have no recourse.

Unlike America we have high standards for gas installation. Only highly skilled operatives achieve gas safe status.
Commercial or industrial gas installation needs regulation……and gas safe certification.

Let me tell you my find feather friend, until the damn Democrats took over, we were the most highly advance civilization in the world. We have so many regulations you damn near can't take a dump without violating local, county, state, and federal laws on how to dump and what toilet paper to use.

[gregonejeep]

There you go Q, set Mr. Neo straight about how our plumbers and pipefitters here know what they are doing when installing gas piping. I paid big bucks to get a new underground line ran into our home by a master plumber over 4 years ago now. And I even have a pic to show it.

What is it to me (as if anyone really cares :)) is one of our most profound "societal" losses, that I have witnessed over the past 30 years?

You can get a Voter ID by walking to the Town hall, and they will give you one free. Absolutely no reason anyone cant get one.

What this may do is put a curb on the voter fraud we see in the old northern mill towns.

You might want to reconsider flashing that about.
I see gas fitters in Jollye Aulde have been breaking into people's homes to install pre-pay gas meters on the lines of those struggling to pay:



The Times found debt agents working for British Gas expressed excitement at putting these meters in the homes of vulnerable people behind on bills.
After establishing the property was unoccupied, the reporter observed the agents work with a locksmith to force their way in and install a prepayment meter.

Americans aren’t probably aware of this one!



Droit du seigneur, also known as ius primae noctis, was a supposed legal right in medieval Europe, allowing feudal lords to have sexual relations with subordinate women, in particular, on the wedding nights of the women.

OMG, you need a photo id to buy booze if you don't have one, then they turn you away. these types of articles are backasswards. If they (2million people) can't get off their lazy duffs to go and get a FREE STATE id, then that is their problem, NOT OURS.

See the problem they have is that to get one they'd have to fly back from pakistan where they live to get it, then fly over on polling day to vote, which ofc rather inconveniences them.......

The people most likely to be unable to vote are bottom dwelling lefties and pakis or bangladeshis who run the postal vote swindle, which, btw has also been killed off because the conditions under which you can now get a postal vote is tighter than a ducks ass.
