Passport Stupidity

Looks like I’ve missed an important passport change that’s coming into force at the end of February – if you’re a dual citizen and want to get into Britain you’re going to have to present a valid British passport. WTaF is that about?! Surely I can prove I was born in Britain some other way, even via an expired passport?

This is either a stupid and desperate attempt to claw in some more money, or yet another data grab to record your details on yet another database. Either way it’s pointless and very inconvenient.

I’ll be onto the British Embassy this morning to clarify the situation and register a complaint, then I’ll either have to sort out a new passport or renounce my British citizenship, which might cause big hassles given I haven’t transferred my pension over yet.
