Yup, make sure you go to the official website though to get them for free.

If they start asking for money bail out.

Good job you're here. Yep, just checked my wallet and and luckily it's still valid until the end of October this year… unlike my sodding driving licence which expired just before Xmas. :evil:

I've got to get a new passport - £77.50!!!

Still, it's to visit the European Parliament so money well spent. Surely the taxpayer should be funding though...

Perhaps if the government invested £2bn on a scheme to issue everyone with an ID card we could stamp out all of this abuse of the system! But then again the Mail is opposed to ID cards.
