The old Labour Party Postal Voting scam back up and running.

From The Sun,

"FEARS of mass election fraud were growing last night after worried parents said their student sons and daughters are being illegally registered without their knowledge all over the country. The Sun yesterday revealed that Labour-controlled Plymouth Council broke the law by registering 850 students without their permission. That included 247 17-year-olds, who are too young to vote. But it emerged tonight that the shady practice that Tories think is a bid to boost the leftwing vote could be taking place nationwide. Multiple reports were made to The Sun today by concerned parents. They said their offspring had been sent polling cards out of the blue at their addresses in university towns all over England, despite never requesting to vote there. They included Lancaster, Nottingham and Hendon in North London – each the location of close marginal fights between Labour and the Tories."

From the BBC.

"A Labour Party member in Plymouth has been criticised for sharing images of a postal vote on social media. Baz Ahmed tweeted a picture he was sent of a postal vote for Labour election candidate Luke Pollard, that revealed the voter's name and ballot paper number. The tweet has since been deleted. Plymouth Sutton and Devonport candidate Mr Pollard said on Twitter he advised his team and others "not to share" such pictures. Critics on social media said the move may have broken data protection and electoral laws.

'Committing an offence'

Plymouth City Council, which issued the ballot paper, said the matter had been referred to the police and the Electoral Commission. The Electoral Commission said it was a matter for the local "police force election lead" and it took "the secrecy and security of the ballot very seriously".

And The Mail,

"Could Labour voter fraud steal the election? How thousands of postal votes are handed en masse to polling stations and student housing is trawled for discarded registration cards."

And from the Guardian in June 2017,

"More than 1,500 postal voting packs have gone missing in Plymouth with the council having to reissue them at the last minute,"

Plymouth again, but I'm sure that's just co-incidental isn't it.

sinkov-- this must be fake news because it has not been reported in The Guardian!

The Sun, the Mail and the BBC could not be trusted to accurately report what we are having on the BBQ!

[Vintage Claret]

When the media print or broadcast an article regarding an election issue, then that media organisation should have to include a warning notice if they support or donate to any political party.

Journalist and TV reporters should also be obliged to identify if they also support a particular political party.

It is time the British people were informed that any article written or broadcast may be subject to a political bias of the journalist of media corporation involved with that article.

Great idea Vintage!

Every single one would have to admit that they were anti Lib Dem

[barrie_burn]

My wife has always voted Labour but she surprised me yesterday by saying she was going to vote Lib Dem.She wants to stay in the EU.I tried to explain that a democratic vote was taken and we have to Leave but I have learnt over the years that it is better if I keep my mouth shut.She is Welsh but she is more Anti Plaid Cymru than me,everything in two languages down here really annoys her,it's just a good job our Welsh Baptist minister neighbour has moved,maybe she had something to do with it.

This really is comedy of the highest order, the country is down the S—t pan.

We really are an absolute embarrassment I can’t believe it’s happening.

Unbelievable Jeff!

sinkov-- this must be fake news because it has not been reported in The Guardian!

That made me laugh Sub, I read on Tuesday morning in the Mail and Telegraph about a car crash interview Corbyn had with Andrew Neil the night before. I'm giving all this sort of stuff a miss at this election so I hadn't seen it, but it seemed to have been a right ****show for Corbyn, but it was two right wing rags I was reading so maybe they were overdoing it. One way to get a bit of balance was to log on to the Grauniad website to see what they said about it, so I did and guess what, I couldn't find any mention of it anywhere, it was as though it had never happened. Which absence told it's own story for me, confirmation that it must have been the mother of all car crash interviews if the Grauniad had swiped it out of existence within hours of it happening.

I know what all you lefties are putting on the BBQ this week BT, transcripts of Corbyn's cluster**** interview with Neil. It sounded such fun, despite trying to avoid this crap for the duration of the election, I just had to download it, to see what I'd missed. Oh dear, not exactly the sharpest knife in the box is he, our Jezza ?
