I disagree with your statement Waheed. All first time applications for a british passport will have to have an interview.
In the near future, all passport renewals and first time applications, whether you are originally from another country or not, will have to attend an interview and have fingerprints taken and other means of recognition will be documented.
It is not discrimination, more like George Orwell's 1964....Big Brother IS watching. They will know where we are, where we travel to, how long we stay,.....everything they want to know. Next thing will be micro-chipping babies at birth V-. , where will it all end, what happened to freedom?
We won't need identity cards then will we, in a round-a-bout way the government is getting exactly what they wanted.
