Need to renew passport & get a visa (after 12 months of being an illegal alien).

This board & the BBC are my sources of UK info. I have my Covid passport, I have my red wall membership but how do I get tickets for City games when I get home?

Covid is a thing of the past here in Poland, everything has been back to normal for the last 3 to 4 months, so I read with horror UK cases are still 30k+ per day and 6 members of my immediate family have Covid after being double jabbed.

Then I read of all of the shortages, humans, fuel, food,sounds apocalyptic from here! Good old media.

What’s the reality? Do I fill up with diesel in France?
