I used my credit card figuring it was probably the safest option. I have the company name, but actually the government already has online technology that verifies identity. That links to already verified ID such as your passport or driving license. Wouldn’t it be better if that was used?

Yes, and I used them with my own children but not everyone does for various reasons.

I hadn’t been on here for a while but thank you Kelly I had a lovely day! 😊

Interestingly, I had to verify my age to get on this app. It didn’t take long and actually, why not do this online? No different to asking for ID when someone buys alcohol- or should we let 13 year olds have unrestricted access to that now?

To be fair, the French call the English Channel La Manche, the direct translation of which is ‘the sleeve’, and we don’t hold that against them!

I’ll get there. Currently reposting Labour stuff but not much else. It was handy to DM M&S the other day though!

Not just MPs of course. People don’t seem to realise the risks MPs and their staff face, and the value of somewhere safe to unwind, which is not necessarily full of people drinking subsidised alcohol as assumed in some of the replies.

Perhaps because the people who work there would like somewhere safe to unwind after work? The incident happened at 6.30pm.
