You literally do not know what you're talking about.

You didn't scroll down and check the full list of documents they will accept, so don't know that you're only posting a subset. The "probably" you quoted is a certain giveaway that there are other possibilities.
You need an ID to function normally in UK society, just like any other modern society.Last edited by Sparko; 05-12-2021, 07:51 AM.

Because it was a taboo subject at the time, the lessons of the Tulsa race riots of 1921 were never learned. Tim Madigan has written a new book titled The Burning.
We have to learn from history, or we are doomed to repeat it.

You are expanding the term ID to include anything banks allow in order to show that banks require an ID, when you should be admitting that banks do not insist on the kind of photo-ID that this new law would require for voting - which was my point.
As you said earlier:
The topic is poor and minorities not being able to vote because they have no ID.Last edited by Roy; 05-13-2021, 05:38 AM.Jorge: Functional Complex Information is INFORMATION that is complex and functional.

Originally posted by Roy View PostTrue.Also true. But - that ID does not need to be a photo-ID, nor does it need to be government issued. As noted earlier, a letter of recommendation from a school can suffice. Your own source states that a "benefit entitlement letter" or a "tax notification" will suffice.

Banks do not insist on a form of ID that would allow people to vote.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostI never said it had to be a photo ID. I said you had to have an ID in order to function normally in society. But most modern ID does have a photo. And even to get other forms of ID you mention would require you to verify your ID by providing evidence to that agency that you are who you are. At some point in the chain you would need to prove who you are.
You've steadily moved the goalposts further and further down the ID scale from photo-IDs to things most people would not consider an ID at all.
Yet you're still wrong, because you can rent accommodation in the UK without any of those things. I know, because I've done it. You are literally telling me that something I have actually done is not possible.

Originally posted by Roy View PostYou initially responded to a post about photo-IDs, implying that was the type of ID you were talking about - but have now moved to classifying anything that can be used to verify who you are, including a letter from the tax office, as an ID.

You might be correct about the US (though apart from customs, I don't recall ever having had to show an ID while in the US). You are wrong about the UK.

I had to show my I.D. to buy a lighter earlier this week.
