officially effectively don't have any identification I don't exist in any part of the world at the moment because I've only got photocopy it's not original copies of Me no certificates yeah you are playing to get a new one there yeah I bet I managed to get Universal Credit out it cost me 400 quid to like get an Australian passport and I only get 350 a month type thing so it's hard for me to save up for it so yeah sometimes I just got to buy food and stuff like that and so it's hard to you know if we're going to get to London the embassy and stuff like that in Australia Australian Embassy in London so yeah it's hard times yeah wait Cheltenham because you had family here no I don't have family here I was like been living on the streets like and I've got some people that took care of me
