So firstly, you self declare so no check, secondly, an out of date licence is fine. Most people by retirement age will have driven.

Why would pensioners be less likely to have a driving licence?

Also it's pretty clear tories are targetting their voters as no other bus passes are included or basically any IDs that would predominantly be carried by younger people.

So I had understood that from the publicity, basically passport, driving licence, or their special new national ID that's definitely not a National Identity Card.

However, the list now includes lots of documents that only pensioners have, senior bus passes and 60+ rail cards etc. Since when was a buss pass a valid form of ID? It's very weird.

They've been doing this definition thing for a long time, I personally think their accusations of Anti-Semetism based on this twisted definition had a large influence on the last UK elections, which has led to both major parties being pro-Israel now.

People aren't reading. It's a national service where you volunteer for something. 30,000 spots are in the military but theres around 700k kids turning 18 each year, other spots are the NHS, fire service, etc.

I think it's a daft gimmick, but it's not a draft.

I'm in the midlands and never heard that phrase but I have heard taking ice to the eskimos, which might be offensive now.

It's definitely a fetish.

There was a large campaign at the time to suggest anti-zionist was the same as anti-semetic.

There are 100% shelters that let you take pets, there's also organisations that foster pets for people escaping abuse.

The statement about haunting you to the end of the earth is a giant red flag. You need to get away. He's dangerous.

He's disgraced himself recently by talking about how he doesn't want his kids exposed to gays, I think that should kill a lot of the further left vote that he's trying to court.

In most 'safe' constituencies the non voters would win if they were a party.
