Got my new passport today. Hate the fact it's not longer an EU one.

The GOV UK website is a bloody shambles too.
You can't have one single account to access everything. No you need two. And then you find out that for some reason you can't do a particular thing online because of a problem and you have to fill in forms from the post office.

Not available in every office either, but a selected ones. And no you can't download the forms or get them posted to you, you have to pick them up.

I've signed this open letter asking NHS England to keep its code open.

> Code paid for with public money should be open to the public. This principle is enshrined in the UK Government Design Principles and the NHS Service Standard. It is now being walked back. We are signing this to restate the case.

Please consider signing, particularly if you've ever contributed to UK public-sector software.
