a) "Thinks terrorists is its friends"...
b) "Nominated Jeremy Corbyn and admitted he would do it again"...

I know it's The Mail and I probably don't need to ask, but is that real?

It's quite something when the PM manages to turn PMQs, which is supposed to be an opportunity for the opposition to hold the government to account, into an opportunity to browbeat the leader of the opposition and force him to explain that actually his party is not riddled with racists and he does not regard proscribed organisations as his friends.

He's a former Tory MP, there shouldn't be any confusion over where his personal loyalties lie.

a) This shouldn't be allowed.

Voted but unfortunately I doubt it will matter much as this area is blue with a marked purple tinge :(

Yeah I feel like my vote was the most minuscule 'gently caress you' possible in a sea of angrily nodding heads.

e: how much time could I save at the polling place by going home and getting my polling card? i predict it would take ~10 minutes to go get it rather than going straight to the polling place from my heavily delayed local birmingham train

I don't know if all booths will be the same but I just literally rocked up and gave my name and address. They didn't ask to see a card at any point.

The only PCC option not affiliated with a party in my area was part of the 'Zero Tolerance Policing' group. I mostly voted because that sounds scary as gently caress and anyone else would be better.

Same in Essex. Funnily enough there wasn't any mention of the "zero tolerance" bollocks in the local paper, he sounded quite reasonable there and I was thinking of putting him as second choice until I saw the ballot paper.

They write your electoral number on the ballot counterfoil, which also contains the ballot number. Get the counterfoil, the electoral roll, and the ballot, and you can link ballot to voter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_ballot#Secrecy_vs._reliability

As I said they are not generally examined, but the reason they're numbered is so that they can be in case of a need to prove that the election was not fraudulent. I believe they're kept for a year or so after the election.

As with so many things in the UK, you don't have an inalienable right to a secret ballot, it's just that nobody has actually felt it necessary to check for the past hundred and forty five years.

I've never noticed any numbers on my ballots. They've always just picked them from the top of the pile and handed them straight to me. They just look like pieces of paper with boxes.

I mean really they should have invalidated the whole election and had a do-over when it came out.

Politics seem to carry very little in the way of consequences for cheating.

I'm not allowed to donate any more blood in the UK because I've received a blood product during an operation. Anyone who has since 1980, or believes that they may have, is similarly barred. I'm O neg too, which I was told is useful blood in emergencies.

I don't know much about blood, but can't they just check the gently caress out of your blood to make sure it's alright, then allow you to donate?
