8th April, 2021.
Right … it’s now Friday.
You can tell, can’t you? It’s on your phone or computer’s calendar, isn’t? Showing up in the corner.
The top right, in my case.
At any rate: it’s a Friday … following two days on the trot, where I’ve had to get up at five.
I’m grateful to have had the chance to sleep in!

The current government?
Is planning to introduce photographic voter ID.
Despite the fact the UK’s never had any.
Frankly?
It’s not something I can support.
The plans include provisions for a ‘free’ photo ID card that you could get from the council. ID that — from what I can see — requires you to have paid-for ID to show the council who you are: and to pay for the passport photos to go on it.
Free? My arse.
At any rate, one ray of possible hope?
Is the simple fact that, yesterday, the bill was going through the House of Lords.
As their Lordships voted to widen the forms of ID needed.
Bills getting turned into law is never guaranteed.
So the Voter ID law isn’t a guaranteed thing.
If it does go through? The Upper Chamber’s actions will make the thing affordable for the like of you and me.

It’s possibly too early for all sorts of things.
It’s too early to phone calls, I know that.
I’ve just had one from 01633 303 455: and got a burst of conversation in some sort of Indian language … before they put the phone down, at their end.
Quite what that was about? I don’t know.
But I suspect someone was playing silly buggers …
