So… not compulsory then? Or do you just get fined or something? Anyway, earliest policy U-turn of the Conservative campaign so far - will it be their best?

    “punishable by a fine” == the rich can buy their way out of it.

      Yep. If a fine doesn’t scale with wealth, then it’s just a fee for doing illegal shit.

        I don’t have the skills.

        But now really wish someone would hack a few tory social media accounts. And post claims the fine will be based on the family wealth of the avoider

        Tory voters would suffer mass heart attacks when they calculate what it will cost to free their Tarquins.

          Wouldn’t even have to hack any accounts, just start claiming that’s what they’re going to do. It’s not like conservatives ever check sources
