Veterans victims of Gerrymandering

Maybe they should, but this is clearly rigged in the Government’s favor. The parallels between rightwing shenanigans in the U.S. and UK make discernment a challenge. -

If any citizen was turned away from a polling station without being able to vote then they were denied their vote. The list is cooked in favor of Conservative voters. So by example, an OAP bus pass is acceptable but a student or young person’s bus pass is not. I’m sure the data will come in once the vote counts are over. -

I’ve provided a link to Government data on voting fraud, it’s near non existent. What’s going on here is an effort disenfranchise citizens. The Government choosing the voters rather than voters choosing the Government. -

Not calling you out Stoner, just a correction. The US dominates the topics and found easily be mistaken as there are efforts there, also by the political right, to use ID as a means to disenfranchise citizens without any evidence of significant voter fraud. -
Laurence Fox Arrested

It looks like Larry has been a naughty boy… again This once could see him behind bars and perhaps placed on the sex offenders register too: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/may/02/police-investigate-laurence-fox-upskirting-tweet-narinder-kaur -

It’s UK related. This makes interesting background reading: https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/research-reports-and-data/electoral-fraud-data/2022-electoral-fraud-data -
The Government’s gerrymandering has done exactly what it was predicted to do, deny citizens their right to vote. But I wonder, was it this particular group of citizens the architects of the scheme to deny citizens their vote had in mind: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/may/02/minister-sorry-as-veterans-find-id-card-not-valid-for-english-elections

There’s gaping gaps between the two parties. Look at the state of the NHS now compared to 15 years ago. The current Government are making promises of unfounded tax cuts and spending approaching £100Billion. That on top of the highest tax take since WW2. Schools falling apart, public transport failing, rivers polluted, cronyism skimming billions, police failing to attend crime scenes, hospital waiting lists, dentists (if you can find one), and of course immigration out of control. Not in the news, near zero important checks on goods with the risk of disease to UK farming. Oh and trashing the UK’s tariff free access to EU markets, something nobody voted for I look forward to the election.

There are migrants, and there are significantly more than there were when this failing Government came to power. Having done nothing about the problem other than watch it grow the Government now engage in performative action which is little more than pushing even more UK tax payers’ money down the Tory sewer.
