Someone comes up with an idea that many departments will profit from.
having to pay £20 is extortionate. it's not administration. it's profiteering with the approval of the government.

now you're going to tell me that it's only £20 every 10 years so it doesn't count.

and then they'll eventually change it to it needs renewing every year.
