My brother applied for a replacement passport about 6 weeks ago to the Liverpool Office, his dog ate half of the old one. He filled in relevant forms correctly and waited, returning the chewed one as requested. |

Like most Government Departments,When Failing,the Lower Echelons get the blame.The MPs in charge cannot accept that most of them " the people responsible" are "Unfit for Purpose" :-( |

I would just comment that you are right, OFITG. That it is very rarely that anyone gets punished or loses their job now. It is often the fault of a junior civil servant or a new computer system. |

It all looks highly suspicious to me can’t believe that it’s just because the economy is doing “so well” that everyone is suddenly booking holidays abroad. |

Yesterday the Prime Minister David Cameron said that up to 30,000 passport applications have been hit by delays, other sources say it is a much higher figure, we will never get to know the true figure, whatever the true figure is, it is obvious that something has gone wrong. |
