Great!. This is what we need at this moment. Govt. blames UKBA, UKBA blames Govt. Media blames Govt and UKBA. Everyone blames each other. The question is who is taking the responsibility?.

Simply no one!!
I did tweet immigration minister he did not bother ofcourse to even acknowledge.

Of course, why would they bother, for them it is just another day!!!

And it is hardy surprising that there is no news of any IT ISSUE on UKBA's own website, where as it is in all mainstream media.

UK Border Agency IT systems 'back up and running'

The UK Border Agency says their IT systems are back up and running after an earlier failure.

We did have a IT outage today but our system is now back up and running. There will be a small backlog of appointments to clear. Anyone who needs a urgent appointment will get one

– UKBA Spokesperson

How is it that what spokesperson says is available to media but not to general public i.e. applicant via their own website.
Of course everyone who was sent back today (incl. me) have an urgency and who is going to give an urgent appointment now?

Exactly.. if you call 0870.. no one answers..

Best thing is to get them out of that office.. I think the process has already begun..
