A bizarre video featuring Manchester councillors donning Zorro-style masks has made an appearance on a flagship BBC comedy programme.
The video, posted by veteran Harpurhey representative Pat Karney, warned voters to take photo ID with them to polling stations ahead of last week’s local elections. This year’s election was the first to require the electorate to prove their identity.
Coun Karney spent the weeks leading up to polling day publicising the new requirement, in-person and on social media. His video, which also featured fellow Harpurhey councillors Joanne Green and Sandra Collins, saw the trio don the masks to warn residents of the change.
