Don't Forget Your ID!

 


Here's Rosie back in 2017 going to the Polling Station with her Mum. It will be another 10 years before she can vote. But my vote today can make a difference to the world in which did is growing up.

    Rosie was taking the right to vote very seriously!

      She has been brought up to value democracy, and the importance of having a right to vote.

    Cute Rosie! I will always vote, many women suffered extreme punishments to get us the right to vote. I hope we have a calmer and more settled five years ahead.

    Yep, my vote has been cast ... and I remembered my ID and also remembered to tell Alan to fetch his too. Mission accomplished.

      Well done Sue [as long as your vote and A's don't cancel each other out]

    Great photo of the polling station notice! Cute memory of Rosie looking serious and taking everything in, just as she does now.

    We have a postal vote so that we don’t miss out. My daughter will come straight from London this evening and vote on her way home from the train station as we have always shown her the importance of having the right to a democratic vote without fear. Catriona

    I took my Mum to vote this morning, and the rest of us will go this evening ( a different polling station to my Mum). I never want to be in the situation again where I spend 5 hours in A and E begging for a nebuliser for my daughter, and her sleeping on the floor of a hospital corridor during the following 10 hours, next to a woman who had a suspected bleed on the brain for whom there wasn't a bed.

      The NHS is stretched beyond breaking point. But whatever the outcome of today, sadly, changing the situation will be like turning round an ocean liner - not something that can be achieved overnight. Those waiting lists will remain too long for a while yet.

    I don't think too many people will be sitting on the fence from what I have heard. We are watching from Canada and hoping that there will be a better future in the UK.

    I hope your elections turn out the way you'd like! I liked that notice on the polling station wall!

    Glad you still get to vote. We feel somewhat worried these days about that right being tampered with.
