Not mine, most definitely not mine. Personally I find the current "government" corrupt, incompetent, and dishonest - others are less charitable. They are messing around with the voting system and constituency boundaries to rig the election their own way - so they are putting forward legislation insisting on photo ID to be able to vote to stop fraudulent voting. At the last general election there were four (4) prosecutions for electoral fraud - however the number of people that don't have acceptable photo ID is around 6+ million.
They are also trying to silence the BBC so that they don't get criticism from that direction and they are already in the back pocket of the printed media. Their aim it appears - and the numbers back this up - is to ensure that the wealthy get wealthier at the poor's expense.
The path they are treading is down the authoritarian route that will do no-one any good in the long term. Hurrumph.
