I was going to say it's shocking ain't it, lied to by both the major parties.

 

It is a win win situation now, Boris and his cohort and Starmer and his cohort should all resign. Off they can feck all at the same time.

Now that we can agree on! Imagine our political leaders, regardless of their affiliation or in power or not where held accountable for their actions? I mean properly held accountable, French revolution style 😁

The whole Goldsmith representing BVI governor whilst “supposedly” working from home has kind of blown up a bit more scandal than either Boris or Steamer having a cheeky pint during lockdown. 
 

What passes for ‘normal’ just seems to keep getting more & more bizarre.

I don’t get the fuss with ID cards, seems logical to me that you should have some form of ID on you, especially to vote.

Not sure if I’ve missed it previously by not paying attention - turns out the porn king is Niel Parish. 
 

Always found him a highly disagreeable type.

I’d agree in regards voting ie the day you rock up at the polling station, but definitely not the carrying of an ID card as an everyday requirement.

I’ve never understood why so many are against the requirement for a national ID card. The requirement to be able to prove one’s identity should not be an issue for anyone who’s on the right side of the law?

I used to feel the same way but.....

 

At the moment, the babes making the laws are amongst the least trustworthy so what ‘law’ might they make next?

 

Plus, there’s the perennial conspiracy theories of NWO and state control which, if / when combined with genetic profiling,  electronic finance Astra Zeneca type situations (reality in China) citizen ID starts to look like a small part of a bigger problem. 
 

Plus, I never got over having my leave stopped by the Joss in Hamburg because I’d lost my ID card.

Like a few others on here I’ve been there with a military ID card, it has its place in that scenario but the connotations that go with it becoming an everyday use thing by joe average citizen 🤔absolutely not. No justifiable need at all.
