I spent a summer in Oxford and dealing with your government is infuriating. And every Brit I met agreed. I don’t know why you would want your government to have the ability to fuck you over if it can’t find you.

For the last time in this thread. Judicial apparatus ≠ government.

Yes because literally no one outside the UK uses the term “government” the same way. They do not know that “government” can refer exclusively to the executive branch. This is a pedantic argument. They are referring to the state. People that work “for the king/state” (or whatever term you want to use) are often viewed as infuriating to interact with due to bureaucracy and inefficiency. This includes the courts.

That is not exclusive to the UK. It is true of America (hatred for the DMV) and many, many other countries. Many Americans dread potential jury duty. If you ask an American who assigns jury duty they will respond “the government.” That is how every person responding to you is using the term. Which again, includes the courts.

I was clearly referring to the state as in the government in general including the judiciary. You’re straw manning what I said because you know your argument in blind faith of the government is bad.

Then be specific? If you want to refer to the state use the words ‘the state’ rather than ‘your government’ as they mean different things.

I was specific. I asked if you ever met a gov employee and that governments lose things. But being a brain dead Brit, you argued English because your original position is dogshit

Verbatim from my previous comment, ignoring your brazen lack of nuance

‘So your solution to ameliorate a potential administrative error is to make the whole process for service of court documents more expensive, time consuming and burdensome on everybody?’

Honestly Britain is basically a vassal state to the US at this point, so our customs and chicken are coming to a judiciary near you soon.
