Having to show ID is gonna change the results in Bradford and other notorious areas I am sure.

Why do you think that?
And, will it make a material difference - aren't many of these areas strong Labour holds anyway?

Maybe I'm just biased but there is a new story about voting fraud on epic scales Bradford every single year.
They are, which is a good point. They'd probably still be strong Lab even without the fraud to be fair.

There are lots of stories about voter fraud, I imagine most are tosh. A significant minority of Americans think their last election involved significant fraud.
Are the stories you see well-evidenced or just baseless claims? I can imagine it might happen, but that it's far less common than people claim.

A bit like the "Facebook listens to my conversations" claims, I think there's probably a simpler explanation.

Actually in certain communities it is rife. I have heard first hand on numerous occasions. They are very patriarchal and what the head man says goes. They also do a lot of postal votes to make sure people vote in a certain way. As they tend to only dominate a few wards that would probably vote that way not much is done about it. But again like FGM we do the women here a particular disservice for the sake of 'community cohesion'.

Careful, you're likely to get your post deleted if you mention the specifics of the communities involved.

Thanks, in my years of working with many from South Asia, it is the subset you've pointed to that seem to have more of this. As an aside I haven't met a Sikh that I haven't really liked.

OK, perhaps I'm being dim (again) but I can't see the link between the quoted website and the images. The website itself proves rather conclusively that actual fraud is very low, and well over half is about campaigning rather than voting.

So your point is?

He's deceiving again. He's trying to show discrimination between older white and younger black voters. What he declines to disclose is that the 60+ requires proof of residency whereas the 18+ card doesn't as its primarily aimed at students. Guilty of misdirection with intent to deceive.
