Not all Londoners surely? Certainly not on Aunty Beeb … apart from the down market radio stations and some fick continuity announcers. A Scot lecturing others on how to properly pronounce words? Is it irony day or something? Be fair to our backwards cousins, if you had to wear a dress in a country made entirely of rain and thistles, you wouldn't be all that eloquent either. |

Boris Johnson ‘pays tribute’ to polling staff who refused to let him vote without ID Ex-PM turned away from South Oxfordshire police commissioner vote for not having valid ID – a rule he introduced Boris Johnson has thanked three villagers who turned him away from a polling station on Thursday for trying to vote without a valid ID. The former prime minister was told by polling station staff that he would not be allowed to vote in the police and crime commissioner election for South Oxfordshire without proving his identity. Writing in his column in the Daily Mail, the former prime minister said he attempted to use a copy of Prospect magazine as a form of identification, but was turned away by local electorate officials. He wrote: “I want to pay a particular tribute to the three villagers who on Thursday rightly turned me away when I appeared in the polling station with nothing to prove my identity except the sleeve of my copy of Prospect magazine, on which my name and address had been printed. “I showed it to them and they looked very dubious … within minutes I was back with my driving licence and voted Tory.” The requirement to bring photo ID was a stipulation of the Elections Act Johnson introduced in 2022 while in Downing Street. The election on Thursday was the first time many voters in England and Wales had to present ID to vote under the provisions rolled out at last year’s local elections. Acceptable forms of ID include a passport, driving licence, Proof of Age Standards Scheme (Pass) cards, Blue Badges, and some concessionary travel cards. Downing Street has said it will “look into” changing the rules to allow veterans’ ID cards on to the list of valid identification. It came after the veterans minister, Johnny Mercer, apologised to former military personnel who were prevented from using their veterans ID to vote in the local elections in England. Ministers have faced criticism over the limited number of acceptable forms of ID, particularly the decision to allow documents such as the older person’s bus pass but almost none issued to younger ones, such as other travel passes and student documents. www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/04/boris-johnson-pays-tribute-to-polling-staff-who-refused-to-let-him-vote-without-id |

There is a good chance that Boris will be leader of the Tory party in a year or so.
You, on the other hand, will still be a sour little twat

You’re the sour twat if you really find Johnson’s latest antics amusing. He’s a wrong’un and always has been. If you can’t see that I feel sorry for you. |

Khan re-elected London mayor according to BBC. Hardly a shock. The BBC's polling expert John Curtice is forecasting that with six of the constituency results now published Sadiq Khan will be re-elected as Mayor of London for a third term. We anticipate that the outcome in terms of votes will approximately be as follows: Sadiq Khan (LAB) - 43% Susan Hall (CON) - 33% This would represent a swing of 2.5% from Conservative to Labour since 2021. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-68609732 |

Khan re-elected London mayor according to BBC. Hardly a shock. Another 4 years of wankery to put up with. I was convinced he'd be beaten. You've only got to walk the streets here and look around properly... A one-hour "all-you-can-ride" Hopper fare on buses is one triumph he's been fond of bleating about year after year as if it's the be-all and end-all of everything. He wants us to jump on and off as many buses as possible in one hour, not caring where we are going, zig-zagging pointlessly around London, alighting here, boarding there, anywhere will do just as long as we touch in that Oyster card, bankcard, phone, smartarse watch, and the hits stack up for him. C***. |
