    COMPLAINT: electoral register scam

    You have to confirm your details now rather than confirm changes as before. Do nothing and you get dropped off the register with the obvious credit and voting implications!
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

    We've registered twice this year and they keep sending us the urgent form.

    Maybe it's because we keep ticking the box saying "I do not wish to have my details sold to spammy marketers".

    I can only imagine that they either keep losing our form or think that if they keep sending it maybe we'll forget to tick that box

      Do you still have to pay council tax if that happens?

        Of course, you just have no rights when they shaft you up the arse

          Did'nt send back the form but had a 'man round from the council' knocking on the door asking for us to confirm the details as correct.

            Did it online, using a fake email address, so the mugs who rented this place before me still 'live here'.

            Now I can bin any junk mail as it doesn't have my name on it, so don't even bother opening it anymore. Illegal? What mail? Didn't receive any.

                Next thing they'll be expecting you to wipe your own arse

                It took me about ten seconds to confirm my details online, just like it did last year. If you can't be bothered to do that, I don't imagine you'll be going to all the trouble of voting.

                  I work away from home so don't have the luxury of checking my mail every day or to keep up with stupid and unnecessary officious changes.
