Recently A founder of Hamas, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was assassinated in Dubai - a hit deemed to have been ordered/organised by the Israeli security service, Mossad.

A major sub-plot of this hit was the use of faked passports of European nations - eight of them being faked passports of UK citizens.

This is a concern because having a British passport is a privilege and works as a safety net for British citizens should something go wrong when abroad. If the British Passport loses its credibility, that same security and privilege given to holders of the British passport is reduced.

As the foreign secretary of the UK, David Miliband should be highly concerned when such things happen and should be taking Israel to task over this as it endangers the lives of British citizens.
