E: oh and the ballot isn't secret either. In practice it is but striclty it is not, if the electoral commision wants to they can match every vote to the person that cast it.

How is this done? As a Canadian, I'm familiar in general with the parliamentary style of elections, and we share many of the same features, but I have no idea how this could be done with our ballots. Like it would be physically impossible.

There's like no way that Fox doesn't have a public humiliation fetish, right? I'm sure that Khan is so frightened of someone who got 1.9% (all of which would certainly be coming from people who would never vote for Khan anyways) that they would conspire to make his totally awesome paperwork invalid.

We probably just got confused on which Thames going through London we were investing in.

How many of the 50,000 "illegal immigrants" a year do they plan on packing into these planes? Or did some Tory just set up their own airline?

A 737 can carry 161 passengers, call it 150 prisoners after you add some guards. Thats 333 planes - pretty much one a day.

I know they hope that this is supposed to be a stick to dissuade people, but it's all performative madness.

Of course its all madness, but the numbers of people is a drop in the bucket compared to your average number of travellers going to/from the UK. Heathrow alone handles something between 60 and 80 million travelers each year, close to 200,000 per day on average. One flight more per day is nothing.
