Transcript

00:00I'm stood in my polling station having attended to vote. I don't have ID to present and I'm

00:09being refused my right to vote that I had until it was unjustly and unnecessarily moved

00:14by this government. I'm refusing to leave until I'm allowed to vote. I am being civil

00:22and courteous and not obstructing anybody else's right to vote. But even as I stand

00:25here there are people struggling to be able to vote because of this unjust and unnecessary

00:30change in the law. It's disproportionately impacting people on low incomes, people of

00:35colour, people with disabilities, young people who've never voted before. It's ageist, classist,

00:40racist and ableist. It's unnecessary and it's unjust and right-thinking people everywhere

00:47will want to challenge and resist unjust and unnecessary laws.
