The cruelty is the point.

What an absolute bunch of cunts.

💯

Utterly fucking pathetic.

that's fuckin weird. sorry for that happening.

UK gov are utter scum

How do you do applications without photocopying?

You can't, which I suspect is the point. It's all so horribly, needlessly cruel.

Personally, go to my local library, but they may not have one, and you still get charged per page.

Yes, you have to pay for them...

The article actually includes the example of someone trying to use the card to pay a library fine

I'm sorry. I'm doing the usual social media thing of replying to the comments rather than reading the source.

So much legal and governmental stuff requires a lot of photocopying. The inclusion of photocopying is such a brazen and evil move.

Do immigration proceedings never require one to make a photocopy of documents to present to an official? I know I've had to take big stacks of copied documents every time my status needs to be renewed, although I've never tried to settle in England.

There's a reason they picked that specifically.

The return of sumptuary laws. How the hell did we get here?

Toys are a luxury. Of course they are. Remember that wonderful Tory minister who insisted that the murals be painted over in case they looked in any way welcoming?

Although what they think an asylum seeker would do with a snowmobile in Britain is beyond me

I can't get over the cruelty of banning parents from buying toys for their children. No toys, ever, even for your birthday

Can't even buy them a birthday card as that's now classified as a 'luxury'.
