That would explain the general derangement and lack of grasp on reality he suffers from :+1:

If Trumps backing it, what could possibly go wrong ?

Donald J. Trump

5:58pm May 11, 2021

The Government of the United Kingdom is proposing that anyone who wants to vote in a British election should show photo ID to eliminate any corruption and fraud and “ensure the integrity of elections." This is exactly what we should do in the United States, unlike the Democrats who want to abolish Voter ID laws with passing their horrible HR 1 Bill. All States should pass Voter ID laws along with many other fair and comprehensive election reforms, like eliminating mass mail-in voting and ballot harvesting, so we never again have an election rigged and stolen from us. The people are demanding real reform!

Saw this on a Private Eye tweet earlier. Would love to see it on ‘Can’t pay, we’ll take it away’.
It won’t happen, so I will just imagine it in my head.

If they do turn up he’ll just have to hand back 3/4 of a roll of wallpaper.

oh if only he had to go up in front of a judge who didn’t give a shit and just read him the riot act before throwing every single possible punishment at him. Cunt.

I think it is pre flat decoration. Kinda suspect he is broke. Must have a fair bit of maintenance to pay.

Can’t pay now trending on twitter. :slight_smile:

I see the government are already backtracking on photo IDs for voting. Various Tory spokespeople now day that it will be subject to parliamentary debate and the Government will listen etc etc.

What a surprise

It’s like you lot have never heard of a “leak”.
It was Blair’s favourite way to do business. Slip it out and see what the reaction is. Wait. Form policy on the result.

It’s not exactly new.

Really ?

That doesn’t change the fact that they obviously wanted ID cards to happen though, does it ?

Not exactly a leak, it was in the Queen’s Speech and that day the Tories were out in force on the media saying that photo IDs were essential for democracy. One daft twat of a junior minister started telling lies about where photo ID was already required and kept repeating them even though they were pointed out as being not true by the interviewer.

The next day their tune changed as they realised what everyone else already knew… That it would be an unmitigated fucking disaster and hated by the public.

Shame really, it would have been nice to see the Tory supporters rip their own government a new arse over this.

So @SAP7 , you clearly don’t understand how the Interwebs work. Maybe it might be worth considering taking a back seat.

Yeah
That would be why I put “leak” in the “”.

Because it’s not a leak. It’s a leak tactic. FFS.

You test the water with something before you commit to it.

If I wanted to say they leaked it I wouldn’t have messed with the word itself. Suspect it was lost on you as you all seem to wear blinkers.

Maybe you should try them, see if they prevent the regular brain injury you seem to suffer
