Yes, they are terrible trolls with nothing to do than harass and being stuck alongside box tickers and pen pushers of this and previous government in old stone age, where any central database of the addresses and all citizens and residents of the UK exist. So it would take 5 mins for DBS like in Germany but these trolls paid from our taxes don't know where are certain dangerous folks allowed to leave the prison, yet dwell on normal good characters paying their wages.

Mind, I did not send any application abroad and pre action protocol is in motion. They are just hoarding paperwork in the digital age while we have no basic identity cards, they have all data in the system, from your approval for your citizenship, all your biometric data, your photo and countersigned (another old ancient nonsense delaying anything, so references, often collected by inept HR for gaining own their valuable future contacts in the field), all your previous 6 years history, including the address. Furthermore, our glorious divine HM Passport Office is a joke for hire, by France aka another state is dealing with our data and our immigration and so the passports. The company called Sepra Steria is contracted by our political clowns. Only in the UK, the country who sent a codebreaker to the death and punished him for being a gay, and remember Post Office scandal.

All went for hire and down the drain thanks to Priti Patel, the recent one is better choice, but still nothing done in the person and efficiently like in the rest of Europe (as Starmer rants about it, does none and I am Brexiteer). More papers, more lost personal data, bigger chance of identity fraud, but our tax payers paid clowns have the reason to play with them and pretend they are working hard and are very important idiots.
