Quite the admission from former minister Jacob Rees-Mogg on the Government's motivations for voter ID.
Voters across England will be turned away from polling stations today for lacking ID

The government want to spend up to £20,000,000 extra on each general election to make it harder for us all to vote. Sign @electoralreform's petition to stop the government’s expensive plans #SayNoToVoterID ers.tools/voter-id

So many arguments carry on because both sides discuss things at a level of abstraction at which every statement is at best half-true and half-false and the each side fixates on the half-false parts of the other side's claims.
Well I know the first thing I'm checking the next time I stay at an Airbnb. 😱
