Johnson got turned away at the polling station

Reason? - no ID

Sky news.

Really!!! How fantastic. I suppose he thought the photo ID rule didn’t apply to him🤣🤣🤣

Really !!
I remembered to take my driving licence but I’ve been voting here so long I was recognised - still asked for Id of course.
I confess to chortling a bit but did Johnson really forget? He’s such a showman

I do feel many people are disenfranchised. Most of them not privileged like Johnson, but too poor to have passport or driving licence.

"Do you know who I am?"

"No sir, perhaps if you brought some ID I might be able to help you"

Typical Boris isn’t it, you might almost think he did it on purpose 😆

Again, Boris thinks he is above legislation, same as he thought it was acceptable to have parties during lockdown when the rest of the country 'had to follow the rules" Stupid man!

He has lived his life with the sense of entitlement - rules don’t apply to him. This is one more instance.

So glad the officials at the polling centre stuck to the rules - something Johnson knows very little about.

He may have returned with ID. One more vote for his party.

But he returned later…. Bit of a non story?

Try this then

In 2004 he declared that if he was ever required to present an ID card in order to vote, he would stand there and eat it.

In 2022 - he introduced I D cards.

In 2024 - he was turned away because he failed to comply with the law - he allegedly later returned and failed to eat his ID.

And I've just been reading that it was more than likely deliberate.

I expect he's micro-chipped.

No problem in forgetting his ID 🐕
