I thought it was on the doorknob. How did they get it on their shoes? Did they forget the key and have to kick the door in?

I wonder how the voter ID scheme is going in Gosport. It's not been mentioned (so far). Needless to say, there's absolutely no point in consulting the local press for a progress report.

Aside from counting the number of people who are turned away (which doesn't seem to be being recorded anyway), I can't see any mechanism (apart from turnout figures - which can't be incontrovertibly connected to voter ID requirements) for gauging how many people may not have even attempted to vote because they knew that they didn't have the requisite documents.

Apparently the attack was "messy" and it was raining so it could have got anywhere

How much time did government give people to get adequate photo ID for these elections? Were the new ID requirements made clear?

It's my understanding no one has died from this nerve gas thing (excepting the furry friends left without food and water inside the dwelling). Is that correct?

Messy Russian assassins. Try saying that quickly (if you've nothing more important to do, of course).

I've been canvassing the council estates in Hackney South, one of the most heavily #Remain seats in Britain, and not been asked about #Brexit once. Can't generalise from the particular, I suppose, but what are other people's experiences?

My dad was disabled.
On polling day, he’d call the Conservative party office on great western street & they’d give him a lift to the polling station where he’d religiously vote Labour.
Then, he’d get them to drop him at the parkside pub on lloyd st in Moss Side.
I miss him a lot

We’ve just had six months plus of the govmt literally trying to put British citizens on planes because they can’t produce papers so if your schtick today is “It’s only those who aren’t entitled to vote who won’t have the right ID” you can do one

Re ohsocynical's link, above, I hope something is made of this by Labour after the local elections dust has died down. Can't see anything about it in the mainstream news but the Conservatives should be shown up for such despicable behaviour.

Water off a ducks back I'm afraid. Look how they messed the Queen around when they didn't have a majority, and then did a bung to the DUP. Which reminds me. I wonder if they've paid the billion pounds yet? They were dragging their feet.

Yes, that was bad (not that I have any time for the Quing in a general sort of way) but reneging on a parliamentary deal is tawdry stuff.
