You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

Just asking a question. We’ve had people who have been in politics for decades and have been unbelievably shit. Funnily enough one has just been suspended, again, from the Labour Party. She’s been knocking about for over 30 years now. So how long do you need to serve before getting a crack at the job? 

That one has been suspended more times than a gay from a tall building by ISIS

Standard Oystercards were not valid ID, as they do not have photos on, or indeed, any link to a person (they can be bought ad hoc from a machine)

Oyster Photocards (ie those with Photos on, and needing proof if identity to obtain) were.

Under 18's have Photocards (not much use for elections at the time), and over 60's have photocards.

Students can get Oyster Photocards - so that could be ANY age from 18 upwards. Apprentices are also eligible for Oyster photocards. Neither of these are considered Valid ID, while the 60+ Oyster Card is.

Introduction of Voter ID in 2022. Oyster cards were an acceptable form of ID for the over-60s, but not for anyone else.

From that link it's a card with a photo on it 

Like an OAP bus pass 

No one under 60 has their photo on them as it's just a card you buy from a shop and top up 

(Well it used to be, I had one I used on London aways)

It’s not. it’s Just thickos like cheese making an issue of it. 
 

The two cards are treated differently because they have different application requirements—the 60+ Oyster card requires proof of age and address, while the 18+ Student Oyster card doesn’t. The government has also said the 60+ Oyster card is valid despite having lower security than major forms of ID to “cater to” demographics less likely to have other ID. Some research suggests those aged 70+ are slightly less likely to have photo ID than those aged 18-29.

Incorrect.

Reading all this nonsense about voter ID makes me realise that it’s not 16 year olds we should be worried about choosing our government. 😊

Indeed. Some amongst us, with years of experience under our belts still managed to vote for a woman who didn’t know the difference between Rishi Sunak and Sadiq Khan.

Point being that a 16 year old probably has more intelligence, common sense and political knowledge than many on here.

You constantly prove that point. 👍
