Should the old blue passport make a come-back?

Of all the things we need to sort out and arrange for our Brexit some media twat has raised this issue...?? How vacuous!!!

I agree, the main concern must be to figure out how the hell we are going to get out of this mess that your lot have created for us!

[Hope]

Purple would be a good colour....

Preferably Deep Purple - oh sorry, that''s a different forum!!

Except that, without a passport, people like businessmen and exporters won't be able to leave the shores of this island in order to set up trading deals.  Its by no means a minor issue.  Not the most important, perhaps, but just one of a whole host of issues that those who voted to leave the EU have left the country with.

I think Jack is commenting about the question of the colour of the passport, as in the OP,  not whatever it is you are talking about

Whereas I think that Jack has forgotten that the passport will need to be redesigned anyway, as it will no longer be allowed to carry the EU logo, or refer to the EU in any way.  The choice of colour in such a redesign isn't quite as vacuous as he'd like to make out.

The choice of colours has no impact on who carries passports.

Who in their right mind gives a gnat's gnadger?

We're just being a bit lightweight to take the edge off all the Brexit grief, Steve.  No harm!

True, but I was more a David Cassidy fan

I was into Jackie and remember recording the charts by balancing a small microphone near the TV ( as it says on Amazon) or even better the top 40 on BBC radio on a Sunday night from 5-7

Rose,

Remember taping the to 40 on cassette player from radio. LOL.
Melody Maker and Jackie both good magazines. Also the lyrics books with the latest songs.

You took me back then Rose to my teens.

But I loved the annuals at Christmas too. Bunty, Judy, Mandy, Dandy, Beano, Misty and all the others too.
Good reading over Christmas period. Nothing like that now soon disappeared. As a child I got the Rupert annual
every year. Days before computers took up our time.

What about a passport with a gold monogram of the Queen on the front and in the middle of the british coat of arms.

I think it would look the real deal.

And which intelligent lot are going to sort out the massive mess of the EU? The ones there now couldn't find their way out of paper bag and just pile one stack of insanity on to another - thank God we are rid of them nearly.

I'd agree that it is a near impossible task for anyone - the only sane option would be to just to sign-up for a Norway deal including free movement of workers, but I expect that would upset the xenophobes.

Thanks to you, it won't be us. We're just running away.

[Walt Zingmatilder]

Once we leave the EU, the current red (burgundy?) EU passports will become obsolete as they expire.  Should the old blue be brought back to replace it, or should it be a different colour altogether?

Yes
Also Black and white TV, Pounds, shillings and pence and smoking in pubs.

[Jack Knave]

We're not running away we are just leaving it in the hands of the incompetent lot who caused it in the first place. And by the way if we stayed to help what would you recommend needed doing to correct the heinous mess? Give me clear details please.

Hi Vlad, I hadn't realised that those were forms of ID that you could use when travelling abroad.

Which is another way of saying we are running away.

That would be a derail of this thread. Feel free to start another one and I'll comment.

And you have the cheek to call other posters "  cowards"

Get a grip!

This is a thread about passports. Start another one about how to fix the EU and I'll gladly comment.

That is, unless your opinion is that it is wrong of me to try to think of ways to fix the EU, your Royal Thought Policeness.

No it's not. It saying we are not stupid enough to stay around something that is going to explode.

[jeremyp]

The EU is not going to explode and if it was, it needs to be defused because there is nowhere far enough away that we can escape the blast.

There is nothing that can stop it now, nothing will defuse it. Even the likes of Juncker are saying it is near to breaking point.

That's my All Knowing arse. Which is wiser than if there were a million of you, which there seems to be judging by the stupidity of the EU.

You know Jack Shit. You have no idea what will happen to the EU over the next few years. Your opinion is based on blind prejudice derived from the xenophobic echo chamber of EU haters.
