The delicious irony.

What a complete twit his man is! (Don’t wish to be barred!)

How I wish he had eaten his ID, but then again it would be the first time ever that he kept his word!

This made me smile this morning. Honestly what an idiot and to think he was our PM. I wonder if Truss presented a lettuce as ID.

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.

A bus pass is accepted

Not everyone has a bus pass.

You don’t have to have a bus pass either.

Anyone without photo I/D can apply for a Voter Authority Certificate, free of charge, from their local authority.

No one is disenfranchised if they really want to be able to vote.

Or get a postal vote.

I read he had an envelope with his address on with him . Does he not have a wallet with his driving credentials in? He probably broadcast to one and all in his booming voice so hardly a disclosure plus always have folk at entrances. As someone else said “once a plonker”.

Hmmm… he is just reminding us that he’s waiting in the wings… heaven forbid he’ll ever make centre stage again.

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

my first thought too..

I forgot to post my postal vote and as instructed in the envelope I took it to my local polling station.

I did not need my ID (which I had taken with me) to hand them a sealed envelope. Instead I had to fill in my name address and signature on an A3 sized, multicolour form.

It was very bizarre.

BJ is the master of hyperbole.

From "The Spectator" - (which quoted 2004)

"What is it with Boris and rules, eh? Mr S is old enough to recall the long-forgotten days of, um, 2004 when the-then Telegraph columnist fulminated against the iniquity of ID cards:

^If I am ever asked, on the streets of London, or in any other venue, public or private, to produce my ID card as evidence that I am who I say I am… then I will take that card out of my wallet and physically eat it in the presence of whatever emanation of the state has demanded that I produce it.^"

Yes funny that isn't it Finney?

Never misses a trick

Pathetic publicity seeking, he's not stupid, he absolutely knows what he's doing. Hit the headlines again hasn't he?

Ha! 😁

What a plonker. Did Dilyn the dog get to vote? 🤣

I expect he's micro-chipped.

No problem in forgetting his ID 🐕

Once a pillock…

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

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

Very much so

Amusing story for him

Made my day!

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.

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

🤣🤣🤣

Ha ha that's hilarious!

AGAA4

One less vote for his party.

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