Boris Johnson was turned away after forgetting to bring photo ID to the polling station – these 32 comments really marked his card
17.
If I’d been the one who got to turn Boris Johnson away from the polling station for having no ID, I would be dining out on that shit for the rest of my life.
On my death bed I would gather my family around for one final retelling, before slipping smugly into the afterlife.

Somewhere out there, are the polling station staff who refused to let Boris ride roughshod over the rules he insisted that other people obey.
Hope somebody drops a crate of something refreshing to the polling station for them at the end of their shift. Heroes.— Malcolm V Tucker ☠️ (@Tucker5law) May 2, 2024

Boris Johnson:
– introduces Covid rules, breaks them
– introduces voter ID, forgets to bring itJust scrolling through the other laws his government passed and wondering which one he’ll break next…
Maybe he’ll turn up in Europe and claim he’s still an EU citizen?

In what many will regard as a blessed relief, I have decided to give up comedy. Like Boris Johnson, there is literally no point any more. pic.twitter.com/ml6QmUnwN2

When Boris did eventually get in, he went on to spell X incorrectly

“Boris Johnson turned away from polling station after forgetting photo ID”
When Boris Johnson brought in the legislation for this, I actually daydreamed about exactly this scenario because I thought it plausible. https://t.co/AVNVh4hmwL

My expectations of Johnson are lower than a Dachshund's wedding tackle, but he still manages to fall short of them. https://t.co/LqUhjFu8T8

imagine just clocking in at a polling station, putting in a thankless shift for democracy, and it turns out you get to tell Boris Johnson to fuck off https://t.co/tHipnAWoVD

Our concerns about voter suppression did not account for how uniquely stupid these people are. https://t.co/ZAZrYprYVN

It’s important to remember the serious issue highlighted by Boris Johnsons’s stupidity/attention-seeking (delete as appropriate).
