Inappropriately~Clad Woman Denied Opportunity To Cast Vote

[Arthur Little]

Given a good old "dressing down", :poke: instead.

Quite right too! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Stupid bitch! :biggrin: ... what else did she expect? Thankfully, throughout the 30~odd years I served as a Presiding Officer, I'd never had an occasion to encounter anything like this situation. :nono-1-1: ... otherwise it would've been my duty also, to ask her to leave the polling station.

Going by the title I was expecting something more raunchy such as a Union Jack bikini.

Dressed slightly OTT IMO although I wouldn't have stopped her voting. :wink:

Mind you, :icon_rolleyes: on the other hand, supposing, say, the woman had turned up wearing a burka :cwm24: ... then ... :anerikke: ... I suppose polling staff would've no option but to grant her access.

:yeahthat: ruling might change, of course, :pray: once we've fully extricated ourselves from the dictates of European Law. :wink:

'fraid you'd have little choice, Jamie :NoNo: ... since such mode(s) of attire, would, in the circumstances, be deemed "overt canvassing" contrary to the Representation of The People's Act.

Fair enough Arthur. I didn't realise there was a dress code. Are pyjama's allowed? :biggrin:

So presumably 'Screaming Lord Sutch' would have been turned away also ? :NoNo:

Miserable buggers.

This is just a precious part of the British unique and often eccentric character... that we are trying to preserve ! :doh
