How do they know?

Posted in News at 3:23 pm by alby

There is a news story today that says that the passport authorities have given out 10000 passports to fraudulent applications including 2 each to 2 known terrorists. How the hell do they know? Did they get 10000 snarky letters saying “Teehee I lied and you gave me a passport”?

Seems very odd to me. In fact it’s a little sinister because the government bods going on the radio to talk about this are all saying that this is why they need to have face to face interviews before giving out passports and why ID cards are such a cool idea. Seems too stage managed to me.

Have fun.

PS Suggestion for Friday – curry or front-room barbecue?

    Oh my god!
    Sue him, sue him!

    I would have said curry, myself. But I don’t particularly care.
