(I've already seen disinformation on social media that it's already too late to apply.) https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/voting-and-elections/voter-id Don’t have ID? Apply for free voter ID now If you don't have accepted photo ID, you can apply for a free voter ID document, which is known as a Voter Authority Certificate (Opens in new window). The deadline to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate to vote in the Parliamentary general election on Thursday 4 July is 5pm on Wednesday 26 June.

Given that you can register to vote if you haven't got a fixed or permanent address, I'd assume it was indeed fake news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

En Passant 3,741 Posted May 26 2 hours ago, The Old Crem said: Whose passport has their address in? Not aware of any passport (at least a UK one, having an address on it). You don't need address on whatever form of acceptable ID you use anyway, as stated, fake news. Checked here. (You never seem to bother with a source, so I will). I'd imagine more people will use a driving licence, which as it happens does have your address. But as above it's unnecessary. This however is an opinion, I have no data to back up this assumption, it's just a guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Politicians then discuss round the table that their children/relatives won't be taken. Only those in the lower school league tables. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted May 27 So Mirror claim to have a leaked document (so, Sunak went as far as creating paperwork, then!) suggesting criminal action incl. possible jail for refusers of national service. So, once they fail to get into hollowed our forces - who haven't the manpower or resources to cope with the influx of gormless teens, we'll send them to the full-to-bursting prisons, after which they'll be so damaged mentally that our stretched-beyond-coping social services will have to cope. The only silver lining being any of these teens who have a few thousand social media followers might snag the kind of q/o that earns points in the low-hanging pools when their hellish journey finally drives them to off-themselves! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This however is an opinion, I have no data to back up this assumption, it's just a guess. Probably the majority will use their driving license. About 70% of people have one and it’s small and easy to carry. Many younger people will also use their provisional license (It’s the easiest form of universally accepted ID.) With pensioner bus passes accepted that will be a well used form of ID as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philheybrookbay1 247 Posted May 27 As a football secretary, this plan would destroy more local football than anything else. It's the critical ages 16 to 18 when most lads stop the game, so to force them to do Rishis plan would loose thousands more from the game. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted May 27 Am I missing something? Just heard a BBC reporter say the National Service plan would involve 18 year olds signing up for the army for a year or volunteering one weekend a month for a year. So...army for 365 days or volunteering for 24? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,611 Posted May 27 1 hour ago, DCI Frank Burnside said: Oh will they now... I'm intrigued how this would work as 'children' become adults when they reach 18, and afaik, are no longer their parents' responsibility. Still, with the Tories chances of regaining power somewhat diminished, they could promise everyone a unicorn shitting rainbows without ever have to worry about the practicalities of implementation. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
