George, you are more eloquent and better informed than many students and academics - you deserve a pay rise!

I totally agree with the first comment. Just to add that the same motivation for voter ID as in the USA is behind the new law here; i.e., voter suppression of those less likely to vote for the party in favour of voter ID. C/F the rules on Oyster cards as acceptable ID.
