'Millions' face being turned away at polls by new voter ID laws

[El Guapo]

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.

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.

@Neo is a good Borg drone. Resistance is futile. Just teasing.

The government is being accused of rushing through plans to enforce photo ID checks at polling stations, potentially leaving up to two million people at risk of not being able to vote in May's upcoming local elections.

Are you aware of "Jus Prima Noctis" ?

Are you aware of "Jus Prima Noctis" ?

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.

I'm am and many medieval scholars say that is legend and a myth. The question is how would they know?

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.......

sucks to be useless.

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.
