RT @ZoeJardiniere: The Overton window shifts so fast that now we already have to listen to some chief of police fatuously explain how he supports this anti-democratic government’s plan to arrest people engaging in protest *before it even becomes disruptive* just in case it does.

@AidanCTweets The problem is not that she quotes him. It's that she borrows his idea and decides to use it in the same way for the same project against her own target hated minority. Grim.

RT @AidanCTweets: Hitler used the concept of 'The Big Lie' to attack and destroy a minority he hated, and it's no surprise to see the 'gender critical' movement *directly quoting him* to try to attack and destroy a minority they hate.

RT @oldlongdog: If this kind of scrutiny was paid to all rich people's tax affairs and every company, too then we'd be able to have decent schools, a properly funded NHS, police force, sewage system, courts etc.

Why would the government go on and do more of this, when it is clear that it will reduce the credibility and legitimacy of elections in the UK?
Hmmm I wonder why?

@exilefromgroggs @GreenJennyJones No indeed, the trial was not corrupt. But they needed to declare that the result of the trial meant that implementing the proposal for future elections would be unacceptable and would corrupt the democratic process.

@exilefromgroggs Yes that's true and also shocking. But the report on the 2019 trial antedates the take over of the electoral commission, so they could have been more forthright and declared the project to be utterly corrupt.

Important.
I don't understand why the electoral commission isn't issuing a severe condemnation of the interference. The damage to the legitimacy of elections in the UK is clear.
We do not need voter ID, and if we are to have it we need first to institute universal mandatory ID.

The Home Office is trying to say this has been edited to make it worse. But I'd say the transcript of the fuller version is actually worse.

@drsarahcroke @exilefromgroggs @BrandonLewis This one couldn't possibly have a target because there wasn't a problem to solve. What we seriously need is a study of how many legitimate voters get turned away. Someone should also investigate voting malpractice in postal votes.

Who exactly is trying to make the UK a failure in your view?
(I mean at least he realises that the UK is a failed state. But he's a trifle confused about why, wouldn't you say? Do suggest ways we might improve things a bit...)

RT @exilefromgroggs: @BrandonLewis "Cut down" on voter fraud, will it?
Being in the public sector, you of course understand the need for measurable targets.
So go on - what's the current level of voter fraud, and what do you anticipate it being reduced to?

Destroying our democracy more like! People need access to voting rights. Denying access to anyone with a right to vote is a crime. #ToryCriminals seek to win by fraud & voter suppression.
Afraid of the poor are you, @BrandonLewis?
Well you might be. This is disgusting.
RT @BrandonLewis: This morning, I spoke to BBC Radio Norfolk about how we’re securing our democracy by ensuring people have to show ID when they vote - similar to when you collect a package.

They must know that if they burn that mythically produced hydrocarbon at high altitude it'll still have the devastatingly damaging effect on the climate that currently results from burning aviation fuel at high altitudes.
That is... It's not sustainable, even in the fairy story.

They must know that even if they've made the hydrocarbon artificially by combining hydrogen (mythically extracted from water, using mythically available spare green electricity) with carbon (which they will mythically extract from carbon dioxide)
