But that’s exactly the point. A passport (assuming it’s a British passport) proves you have the right to work in the U.K. The commenter above is claiming all you need or ever needed is an address and a driving licence, and that’s nonsense.

Don’t try to shout people down. If you think someone is wrong, go read DHH’s writings on race and come back and defend them.
