The level of empathy and understanding displayed here is inspiring. It's like being wrapped in a blanket of sisterhood.😘
This thread is a celebration of women's intellect and agency. It's a reminder of our collective power.👅
Voter fraud lol, as if
She is worried that 14000 people were turned away, why, because they could not properly be identified, to prevent fraud, ie the system WORKED!
Voter suppression gone completely unopposed but whatever, guess no one cares about their freedoms being slowly eroded
FUK VOTING
Postal vote people.
I've never been able to vote since 1962
I'd like to know why the eu is voting and iceland when it dose not affect them. and the people outside London can't vote and it affects them directly what a messed-up system
Never vote Tory. Never vote deform fascists.
Tory Bullshit ! … to sort a problem that doesn’t exist !!!!!
14,000 turned away is a minor inconvenience to allowing millions of non-citizens vote without ID.
What’s wrong with having an ID card – we’re constantly asked for ID these days. Why not call it an entitlement card which allows citizens access to all state services including NHS and a range of benefits.
The hilarious thing about the Tories forcing everyone to bring voter ID is that it effects their own voters the most, as per Jacob Rees-Mogg.
There will still be fraud – Illegal Immigrants will still vote for Terror Supporters …… Its all ready FIXED …… THE CITIZENS of this Country ARE NOT STUPID
English Votes FOR English People – NOT Foreigners
Don't worry I won't be voting.
Unless you're a Tory voter. Bus passes okay for the elderly, but not the young. The only Fraud are the Tories
