I see the government has flushed something nasty down the pan. Now for the rest.
What a bunch of shameless rotters, they will pay dearly in the end, which can't come too soon!!

It's beginning to look a lot like WW3. Israel attacks Iran munitions factory.

Well they still have about eighteen months to go - time enough for them to do more damage to the country.
They have become desparate, thrashing around trying to appease their voters, and in doing so becoming more and more right wing. One 'Red Wall' Tory MP is already voicing his desire to have the death penalty restored.

New Passport
I may be disgusted with the present Government, but I have to praise the Civil Service.
Some time ago I had to renew my driving licence - did it all on-line and the new photo plastic licence was supplied within about a week, and at no cost to me at all.
This time I needed to renew my passport. I could have done it all online, but in having to supply new photographs, I decided to make a postal application. Well again the service was very fast; the new passport ariving in just under two weeks after posting off the application. The only difference was that in total it cost me £107.
So now I have a new black passport, the same size as the old maroon EU ones, but one which is less versatile!

They should have gone back to the hardback 20 year passport if you ask me.

OK, so 'versatile' was not the best adjective to use; I couldn't think of anything more appropriate when I posted. Thinking about it, 'less convenient' would have been a better choice of words. What I meant to imply is that since the new passport is not an EU passport, I won't be able to use the quick route through passport control when I visit any European country.
And I may not get away with it just being looked at, it will probably get date stamped, so use up valuable pages (even though I have a 50 page version). It's a ten year passport: I fully expect to visit Africa, possibly twice a year, so that requires 20 visas each occupying two pages in the passport. You always have leave four pages free, so that means only 6 pages for EU stamps.
The old hardback passports were better (though I don't think they were of 20 year duration); holding one often expedited matters more efficiently.
