An article in The Times yesterday (Friday 19 February 2021) states:
I have the article in old fashioned print version and the on-line version is, I assume, behind their paywall.
It includes reference to a quote "Boris Johnson once pledged to eat his ID if he was ever forced to show it by the government". Better make future photo ID out of edible materials then.
This topic has been discussed before, identity-cards thread, I raise it more as a heads up than an opportunity to re-hash the issues. I didn't see it mentioned anywhere else.
Voters will have to show photo ID at polling stations from 2023 under plans to combat electoral fraud.
Acceptable forms of identification will include library, bus or rail cards that have a photo on them. The proposal, which is part of an Electoral Integrity Bill that will form part of the Queen's speech this spring. (article continues)
