Most years I don't visit the UK. My european passport is far more useful to me.
Note that this is an active change to the status quo. Up to and including today I had no need for my UK passport when entering the UK on my Swedish passport. From tomorrow I cannot do that and there's no reasonable explanation given for why this must change.
Edit: And while obviously this is not a big deal for me financially, there are a bunch of pensioners in the 3 million Brits living abroad and for many of them the £100 fee is a significant and unnecessary outlay.
- mytailorisrich 8mo agoWell exactly what I wrote, then... visa-free travel and saving a little money/hassle by not keeping an up-to-date British passport. Nothing to complain about, really.
- dcminter 8mo agoYes, changes to the long standing status quo affecting 3 million people with no justification given, nothing to complain about. Sheesh.
