    What I see i.e 'natural resistance' to challenge me will linger around in these forums at least till this summer 2014.

    Consumer Rights Bill will then outlaw this thread' majority of posting ethics.....

    How come the "we are working with Google" just turns out to be the report an Ad link? Can't you see they want you to think somethings happening when infact it isn't? It's just words to to keep people happy. Look I'll show you:

    How come the site below comes up on the first page of Google for 'UK passport apply' and has 15 pages indexed as you can see from the link below.

    http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?nord=1#nord=1&q=site:passports-uk.co.uk

    This really doesn't seem to show that Google are working with the Government on copycat sites!

    I asked you to show a link where Google say they are working with the Government, they don't seem to be.

    Dont get cocky hpuse, I simply asked for a link to it not the rest of your incessant rabble.

    The reason I asked is because I reported a site via that link and here is their response:

    You didnt answer my question, was that comment directed at me?


    Oh you should question the system, if you didnt we would be living in a communist country and nothing would change. I am quite sure you have benefited from something in this country because the system has been questioned.

    Firstly, here is some good news for you:-

    a) This is my last post in this thread.

    Secondly.

    Continue debating here and hail the legality till CRB is passed or GDS clarifies legal trade position on online copycats trading using government websites..

    Now to summarise CRB:

    For those who do not know where the above came from, FYI, it is not written by hpuse:

    Nothing you've highlighted shows me that these sites will be made illegal.

    Were not discussion congestion charging sites as they are completely different to the passport/EHIC/driving licence ones.

    Anyway, when are you going to post up proof of that chargeback?

    As you can see, people are interested only to challenge my OP...

    You ask people to offer improvements to your original post, and now you are chastising those same people when they do offer those improvements.

    Very confusing.
