Yeah, and the number of kids killed in a school shooting last year in Australia? Zero. You can’t say “only” 0.05% of US kids died in a particular school shooting, so the risk is low. You have to compare the countries.

And risk having your kid die in a school shooting?

You are so niave. The UK government itself tells you that it collects this data, see link above. Do you seriously think that sophisticated first world countries don’t monitor their citizens in just the same way as China does? The only difference is that they tend to be more transparent about it (sometimes) and they don’t use the data to impinge quite so much on people’s liberties.

As another commentator said, you are playing with fire, being dishonest with both the UK government and the Hungarian one, and your employer. I hope one day your entitlement catches up with you.

The UK definitely knows how long you are out of the country. All airlines provide data to the Home Office for check-ins of people leaving the UK, and when you re-enter the UK your passport gets scanned. Doesn’t matter if you’re living here “on paper”, the UK government at least knows that you’re not. If you have pre-settled status, you are affecting your eligibility for settled status by being away fir prolonged periods and breaking continuous residence.
