We totally disagree with this individual in the audience and @wesstreeting Protesting is Freedom Human Right of liberty for #BritishCitizens Especially when  half of the population are neglected and Discriminated by #PhotoID upcoming #UKElections for #Election #NVRD
Evidence from around the world shows that forcing voters to bring photographic ID to the polling station just makes it harder for people to vote – while doing little to increase faith in the integrity of the system. The Government think their scheme could cost up to £180,000,000 a decade. We don’t need to spend millions to put up barriers to people taking part in our democracy.
There’s evidence that strict voter ID rules in the USA disproportionately disadvantage already marginalised groups. Why? Unlike in mainland Europe where everyone has a mandatory national ID card, in the UK and USA the richer you are the more likely you have ID. Many citizens who can’t afford to go on foreign holidays don’t have passports, and those that can’t drive don’t have driving licences.

Latest figures show 24% of white people in England do not hold a full driving licence, compared with 39% of people of Asian ethnicity and 47% of black people. #BBC #BreakingNews

In the run-up to an all party parliamentary group on race and community event on voter ID on Tuesday, Halima Begum, the director of the Runnymede Trust, said: “People from black and minority ethnic groups are less likely to be registered to vote, vote and be elected.
“Many voters do not have photo ID, and that ownership of ID can differ by socioeconomic groups, with citizens from BAME communities at a particular potential disadvantage. The current proposals suggest a negative disposition towards voters at a time when trust in politicians and the democratic process is quite low.” Source: 2023 The Guardian #TheGuardian @guardian #MyLifeMySay @mylifemysay #TheBigOne #prrequest #repost #RT #BBCQT @bbcquestiontime
