    I think I’m afraid to ask, but what is happening over there? It seems like the UK parliament is just stomping all over people’s privacy, and then, they do this kind of random crap. It’s shockingly efficient, I’ll admit, but kinda evil.

    The really fun part is that in order to apply for a British passport you have to submit documentation that only someone living in Britain would have. Like, gas bills, bank statements, that sort of thing. It is almost impossible to get a passport if you haven’t lived in that country for a few years.

    So you can basically wind up in a situation where the only way to return to the country of your birth is to revoke your citizenship there. Absolutely deranged.
