I don't get it, what's so difficult?

[Hymie]

It’s worth listening to Femi explaining that at the local elections (where photo ID was required) independent election observers noted non-white people being turned away when they had qualifying ID, while some white people were permitted to vote without showing ID at all.

Some of you may recall my post a short time ago about Hitler rigging the vote in 1934 – he would no doubt approve of what the UK election observers

I had to find photo ID for my elderly mother recently and she didn't have any.

Her passport and driving licence had expired as had her only other thing which was a local council travel pass. She doesn't get out much you see.

This is probably why this wheeze backfired on the govt at the last local elections. They assumed all the respectable old folk would be all up to date, and the lefty layabout youngsters wouldn't have anything.

They forgot that the youngsters are so used to having to prove their age they carry ID without thinking about it.

I've still got my original ID card issued in 1951. I have no photo ID, don't drive, passport nearly to its date. I would like an official IS card, but shouldn't have to pay for one.

"there are lots of things that need ID so why not our very democracy?" There are but not always photo ID.

 

I have no photo ID so I need to have a photo taken in order to get the Council to issue me with photo ID.

 

I was trying to arrange a plain background behind me so I could take my photo when I tripped and broke my humerus.

 

Needless to say, I have yet to get the photo sorted out.

I had an hour with the police ( plain clothes ) who for some reason ( we had NOT banged a police car also unmarked) - thought that ( Hi D C Kay !) ident number of car and name of insurance company

was NOT sufficient in law as he thought it was

we completed formalities darn the nick and once we had established there was no damage,

I asked what we were doing there. Selby v Yorks

I  have no dayzeer to show an ident card on reasonable  demand.....

I doubt anyone has any idea what your trying to say there peterpedant

[Peter Pedant]

postal voting was a disaster in  May. three weeks later they wrote to me, and said that my monicker wasnt exactly in the box

so the vote was invalid ! - I wasnt told in time to go and vote personally so I was disenfranchised.

The people in the Birmingham scandal over corrupt voting have a LOT to answer for. (80% of postal votes in some wards were found to be invalid)

I doubt anyone has any idea what your trying to say there peterpedant.oh

I   stopped at a traffic light

and man leant over and   said you have banged a police car

and we said we didnt but we will turn back

and he said I am the police

and we said - good god are you? you are not in uniform and your car is unmarked

and he said I am commanding you to stop now

and we said we dont know you are police 

and we said softly  to each other  wayne couzens

and he said... after we stopped... you have not stopped on command of a policeman

and we said we have stopped and we are speaking to you

and he said I want all ident......

and I said I want to see your warrant card

and he said ...... [it went on  for 30 mins..]

(then it was agreed we hadnt banged his car)

and the leading case is Selby v  Chief constable Yorks which pointed out that if you do not know that you have had an accident, then you cant stop

[Peter Pedant]

and I do not  like identity cards.

( yeah and dont point out - the real  intellectuals- that wayne  couzens SHOWED sarah everard his warrant card - and a lot  else ! - I cant write that because no one understand what I write)

[bobbinwales]

thanks peter 12:22 is perfectly clear

[douglas9401]

I do.

Interestingly, no one seems to have a care that non-whites with valid voting ID were not permitted to vote – this should be a national scandal, not something hidden away on AB.

That link doesn't work for me so I don't have a full picture of what this is about.

[THECORBYLOON]

For those with out of date passports or photocard licences, you can use them still as long as it looks like you and the name on the ID is the same name you used to register to vote.
