Do you think @realDonaldTrump was once advised to sell stakes in some dodgy enterprise, and that’s how he ended up selling steaks?

Survivors of the #Windrush scandal have been given memorials and apologies, but they’re still being denied fair compensation and actual justice. There’s not long left to add your name to the petition demanding real justice for survivors. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio… via @38degrees

Agree the policy should not have been introduced.
Having been introduced, however, the guys handling polling have to apply the rules (and no doubt get loads of stick) - a bit rum calling them jobsworths Rick IMHO.

Sadly the last government brought it in to combat election fraud despite there not being much of that over here. It’s actually easier for older folk as they have more ID options. Tougher for 18+ voters who need to apply for specific ID as they won’t have any.

The vast majority of voter fraud takes place with postal voting and you don't need any ID at all for that

Pit the blame where it lies. Boris Johnson brought that rule in to discriminate against groups of people more likely to vote Labour. It was gerrymandered pure and simple

I and thousands of others sat in tiny rooms for 15 hours enabling a fair election for the whole population of this nation
We all worked bloody hard to allow every legitimate vote
The rule is for photo ID and has been for years, everyone can easily get one
Jobsworth? Up Yours 🖕

Not jobsworths old son, just doing their work as laid out by election law brought in by the Tories. Been like that a few years now. She would have been advised she could either apply for a postal vote or contact her council for a free photo I.D.

Rick I really respect you but you are wrong on this, I worked at a polling station yesterday and 99.9% of people had the correct ID, even an old person's bus pass qualifies as well as many other forms of photo ID. We didn't make the rules but we have to enforce them.

Have you tried to get on a plane with a utility bill for ID, Rick?

This is the reality of Johnson and Garage creating a problem that didn’t exist and then spend loads of time solving it; than actually doing something meaningful to create a working society.

It's the law now! Not a jobsworth.
If you want election fraud go to USA or Russia

Please don't blame the people working at the polling station for not breaking the law☹️

It was a law introduced to disenfranchise non-Tory voters, the nice old lady is collateral damage.
