#UK police says no #votingfraud in #Gorton elections won by #greenparty

"we have asked [complainants] for descriptions of those alleged to be involved, timings on when these are believed to have occurred. We've not been provided with any identities or descriptions to pursue.The absence of this information means there is no remaining reasonable line of inquiry.”

#Farage's response? "Establishment whitewash!", textbook #SteveBannon #MAGA war strategy on #democracy.

@sheislaurence

Are they investigating the complainants for wasting police time ??

I doubt it as it was probably one of those 'others'.

@RichRARobi tbh i am glad they took it on (due process), + at least it is in black & white that #Reform deliberately wasted police time because it was always the plan to provide ZERO documentation. That's why I refer to Bannon, because it is all about creating media noise and instilling distrust in the institutions. & unfortunately, fear & distrust grow faster than hope.

@sheislaurence That pesky Establishment, rigging things so the wrong non-Establishment party gets in.

@sheislaurence Democracy Volunteers eh? Can’t point out any observed offences at the time to polling office staff, or to presiding officers or the police and can’t record specifics of what and who they saw committing the offences.

But they can inflate headlines for the right wing about voter fraud by brown people because they lost an election by four and a half thousand votes in a two horse race.

@Broadfork yeah, observers that don't look, don't note, don't document, the height of observation indeed 😅

@sheislaurence and they pipe up on the media the very minute the polling’s closed. Grifters.
