  1. Thems the rules.

    It can be seen as harsh but just check on Gov.uk especially since his actual photo is damaged

  2. As someone who has worked in the travel industry, it does state numerous times that your passport must be in reasonable condition.

  5. He planned the whole thing, just wanted the house to himself

  6. Dude had half of his face ripped off from the photo and decided it will be fine? 😆

  7. Having read the article I sympathise but sounds like whoever put the sticker there fucked him. He wouldn’t be able to travel with it on there and when it was pulled off, it invalidated his passport.

  8. The story is certainly very different when it’s a white man trying to cross a border without a valid passport.

    To those claiming the airline ripped it.. the airline ripped it during a previous flight. Everyone with half a brain knows there’s no point sitting on it and “hoping” it still works on the border just before your next flight .

     father has claimed his family were forced to go on their £4,000 holiday without him

    Boohoo, I’m sure he had a good poker night

  15. Suuuuure. Seems legit. And why do the tabloids need to add that it’s a £4000 holiday? How the fuck does that matter?

  16. I honestly can’t believe the length of this article on a passport being ripped

  17. Clearly he WAS able to go – he’s right there in the picture

  18. “Couldn’t go on the holiday but took a compo face photo whilst on the holiday I couldn’t go on”

  20. What I am interested in is that this guy sent his children to a foreign country with his girlfriend without him. If the mother is still in the picture that can become a great custody fight.

  21. There’s more than a small tear on the photo, the bottom of that passport is wrecked
