Passport Tax Lies

My God,

just found it now cost s£72 to renew a passport. The massive increases over the last 5 years were originally, according to government, to open local centres where face to face issuing would take place for security reasons.
Absolute rubbish, no such system in place for renewals and yet still massive price increases. This is just a tax on leaving the country.

It does appear that anything that we have little or no choice over gets taxed as this wasteful Government sucks more and more of our money into its inept black hole.

Am I being nostalgic or were most of our previous governments more honest with us than the present.

Its not just the high tax, poor delivery and waste I object to, it the lies and deceit.

Keep on like this and Lord Allesley might need a passport to escape once and for all.
