Lance 
Corporal Rogers Jean-Baptiste from St Lucia served for over four years with the British Army and completed two tours of duty in Iraq. Since leaving the Army two years ago he has been working in London as a police community support officer. Despite all this his recent application for British citizenship has been refused because to qualify he had to have been on British soil five years before. But five years before Lance Corporal Jean-Baptiste was serving with the British Army in Germany! Because of this technicality the pen-pushers at the Home Office have said he's got to wait another three years and apply again.
The ("not fit for purpose") Home Office has been quite happily letting thousands of illegal immigrants settle in the UK, has been dishing out UK passports to "asylum seekers" with only minimal verification and yet is fully prepared to throw the rule book at someone who has actually served this country proudly for six years! They should be ashamed of themselves but they're not of course; they're probably having a smug, self-satisfied joke about it over their tea and biscuits.
