That would be the same old that are racist, bigoted, uneducated and stole the futures of our children. The same old whose death rate seems to have been offered up as a legitimate excuse for holding a second EU referendum. I’m interested that everyone seems to think they would also be voting against the tories? Actually the really old are not leavers, once you get to the age group that actually lived through the war, they swing back to remain. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterms Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 On voter registration, there's a useful brief summary here of what needs changing. Quote ...Concerns about the integrity of our elections and referendums have been increasingly prominent in public, particularly in relation to online campaigning and foreign donations... ...there is no evidence that personation is a widespread problem and that it does not appear to affect voter confidence compared to wider issues – such as large financial donations in election campaigns... ...Solace – the organisation representing public sector chief executives and leaders – stated that ‘the wholesale implementation of voter ID is not necessary and that there is a greater risk of fraud in the absent voting process than during in-person voting.’ ... ...Democratic exclusion is ‘a more pressing issue for our democracy than the negligible rates of personation [fraud]’ ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd got everything - our birth certificates, notarised marriage certificate, her birth certificate. We had to sit and wait while they got the supervisors out and that was the decision. Six months or go "home". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Government scraps online 'porn block' plans after law hits kinks Quote The government has dropped plans to block pornography websites in the UK unless they could effectively check the ages of visitors. Sky News first revealed that the age verification scheme was being indefinitely delayed back in June. Following our report the government claimed the delay would only last six months, but today digital secretary Nicky Morgan confirmed that the plans "will not be commencing". ... more on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Lee put it better Quote ....Take heed, the metropolitan liberal elite! Cower, all you Conservative moderates!! Weep, environmentalists, and prepare your online petitions!!! Jacob Rees-Mogg is upon you, a black darkness over the shire, a shade upon your allotments, a frozen shadow upon all your back garden gazebos. And your ancient weapons will not work upon his impervious hide, their keen blades blunt upon the armour of his cruel certainties. This Rees-Mogg is no Boris Johnson, the blowhard balloon animal who eventually blew himself up, spattering onlookers with a residue of sticky lies. It’s impossible to imagine now that once, only mere months ago, those who would enslave us regarded this gluteus oaf as their strongest asset; this blundering liability, whose greatest supporters now buckle under the heavy arse of his incompetence manifest, even as Johnson himself clings for survival, the cleverest piglet in the flooded farmyard, to the unexpectedly buoyant rubber ring of the suddenly viable Jacob Rees-Mogg. Neither is Rees-Mogg a Gove, that cunning twig, nursing ambition beyond the scope of his tiny wooden body, buffeted by the river currents, hoping to drift towards the distant shore of victory, and blown along the surface by the storm breath of his giantess troll. These two – the tiny twig and his fair-weather friend, the burst balloon animal and swimming pig – may yet be remembered as nothing more than the twin mini-Ikea stepladders upon which Rees-Mogg raised himself as he reached up toward the blown 40-watt lightbulb of Tory leadership.... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Targeting the idiots with propaganda, sounds familiar I guess they can't run an honest campaign, they'd have to mention the 130000 deaths linked to austerity, rise in homelessness, foodbanks, working poverty. Quote Two political campaigners hired by the Conservatives to run their digital campaign at the next general election previously helped run an enormous Facebook propaganda network. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/oct/23/tories-hire-facebook-propaganda-pair-to-run-online-election-campaign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
