Judging by the reparations bill they want to send to Germany, I'd say no.
Beautifuly flawed irony, Poland should probably call Alanis Morrisette and see if she can write a song about it.
bitterness of Remainers
Yep. I am bitter about the Brexies who chose to try and trash the country I live in.
However I will get my own back eventually.
I feel the knuckle dragging retards will get their own backs eventually.
Brexiteers far more open minded and globally focused than Remainers
Wait it wasn't all about immigrants ?

Treesa missed a trick there, she should have announced the new colour would be British racing green.
Treesa green?
Anyway love the idea, traditional British colour and the DUP would go postal.
to be fair they were open minded enough to globally focus on anyone from Syria to Turkey to well any muslim country
He really has to be takign the piss as no one can actually believe that
Whist there was diversity in both camps its obvious which side had the racists, and those willing to play up to their fears including a vocal contributor on here. no one can think that no one.
I bet its do daft even THM does not want to try and ninfan is giving it a wide berth
I think it’s great that the brexit retards can have a blue passport that enables them to travel freely in one country. I only ask that I can keep my maroon one with access to 28.
the way it is going , blue passports are going to be the only Brexit success 😆

Mine (and my boy’s). Unlike many Brexiteers, I don’t really give a shit about colour though.

A new colour passport.
Well, the UK need not worry about the Brexit process heading into 2018.
As long as we tackle these difficult issues first.

I'm going to miss how the ABC down here deals with the big political issues by laying into the idiots.
Yep pretty much sums up U.K. plc Gov
Only thing they’ve managed to decide on it’s blue.
I don’t think there are words to describe this.
"Enforcing Burgandy passport colour was just another example of pointless egotisitical meddling from the EU with a bit of subliminal encforcement of the Superstate message. Very Big Brother"
No the belief the EU dictated the colour of our passports is an illustration of the total lack of factual knowledge held by the proponents of Brexit. Who are now crowing with joy over the fact May plans to change the colour back even though she has got the colour totally wrong.
I don’t think there are words to describe this.
I think blue sums it up quite nicely.
Will I be able to get a natty burgundy cover for my blue passport?

No need to exaggerate. I'm sure jamba will be along soon to accept that he made a mistake.
Hopefully the blue passports will be waterproof so the tears of the remoaners dont damage them when they are forced to renew their current eu ones.
This ^^^^^ is the level of argument Brexiters are reduced to because even they can’t bring themselves to try and justify something as tragic and pathetic as this.

Why did we change the colour in the first place then?

A voluntary show of solidarity with our EU friends.
I believe this might be a good time to get hold of my Cork born Grandfather's birth certificate and get me one of those Irish passports.

It is far easier to foster a sense of togetherness if everyone has the same passport. Also as a customs officer I imagine that is all the passports are the same it simplifies your job. The fact the very last statement in the document says that the member states can without prejudice still use their original documents says it all.
Honestly the security on the old passports was crap and they needed to change to the new style anyway. It is another example of people looking to the past afraid to grasp the future.
Did we ever actually have a blue passport? I could swear my old ones, before the new format, were black?

Because we wanted to.
Are you OK Ninfan you seem to have lost it of late?

They were manufactured as blue but due to the dye and materials became darker over time until they looked almost black...
It's wonderful how a colour change can reduce [s]retainers[/s] remainers* into a frothing fit. It's wonderful.
*bloody autocorrect
It's not the colour change. It's the fact that people think this is a big deal we should be pleased about. That's why it's so shit.
Did you read what the Tories were saying about it?
Not "frothing fit" 5th laughing fit see the comedy gold of jam and ninfan's posts above and Farrage's declaring Happy Brexmas over the change. We have liberated ourselves from the Tyranny of a burgundy passport we negotiated for in a resolution we could have vetoed which allowed a national opt out! To celebrate rather than revert to our old blue black passport we are going to adopt virtually identical passport to an EU design in Smurf blue a colour that is already used by an EU country. The Brexiters are whooping this expensive farce up like its the equivalent of the Boston Tea Party. And the final irony the new passport is odds on to be made in the EU! Happy Brexfarce indeed!
Because we wanted to.
We?
Can’t say I remember us having a vote about it...
Can’t say I remember us having a vote about it...
But we had a vote to change them to French Navy blue? Yes? I'd have voted yes to that one, why not? Mix it up a little. Actually, a whole range of colours you could choose from when renewing your passport would have been snazzy… like those bank cards you get to choose a colour or picture for…probably cheaper than holding another referendum as well. I think I'd like bright orange, if it was one of the options.
"Take back control" and choose your own colour (from a limited set to stop the costs escalating of course). I'm quite taken with that symbolism of individual freedom actually… liking the idea more and more.
Anyway, looking forward to a future compromise, where we're all happy with our nice new bright blue docs, that say European Outer Union on them as well... doubt we'll get that in 2019… maybe one day, if we all start behaving sensibly.
We?Can’t say I remember us having a vote about it...
Having a vote on it would have cost the tax payer money for something that's completely irrelevant and inconsequential.
There was no reason not to use the same style format as every one else.
Good idea too not giving you a vote on it ninfan. 😉
Can I have a fluo yellow passport to make it easier for me to find in the filing?
And a different colour for my wife and children so it’s easy for me to grab the right one?
I like your thinking.

Yes, the NHS is on its knees, David Davies has admitted they have done no prep work on outcome, food bank use rising, employment dropping, inflation up, real wages falling, etc etc etc.
And the best the tories can come up with, a passport colour change that no one under 40 will have any association with!.

I just have an Irish card passport in my wallet these days. IF the UK actually wanted to do something constructive! most people don't need a booklet!
Have we covered May siding with a right wing government neutering the power of the courts yet? Seems a more natural fit for her than siding with the EU on this I suppose.
And a different colour for my wife and children so it’s easy for me to grab the right one?
As is if they read your mind! 😆

I'm assuming that somebody has already thought of supplying burgundy EU covers to put over the new blue passports for us snowflakes?
Whenever I travel in the nice bit of the plane there tends to be a Russian travelling with a uk passport.
Are these plastic brits now going to **** off and become plastic French for freedom of travel?
If they do can they easily get into this ****ing wonderful country of ours.
Me thinks there’s a red carpet for millionaires regardless of where they come from.
for something that's completely irrelevant and inconsequential.
So, why are all the retainers so upset about it then?

Yes you can, what manner of European wizardry is this?! 😆
