The face of a cunt

Alan Johnson parades the new ID card that is being rolled out in Manchester. The expectation is the students whose grants are delayed due to governmental incompetence, will fork out £30 in order to buy beer in bars.

Note that the card he is flashing is a fake, the bastard can’t even sign himself up for a real one.
