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.
If the EU is in such splendid health why do you want to reform it. Wouldn't a little tweak do it?

My proposals - apart from the Euro one maybe - really only amount to a tweak.

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?

No, although no doubt Pukip would like the idea of wasting money on something like this. After all what price sovereignty? :P

Out of all the myriad of problems that now desperately need solving as a result of Brexit - spending time and money considering the colour of the passport is rather like the proverbial rearranging of the deckchairs of the Titanic.

Full of nuts but with lots of flakey bits and a bitter aftertaste

Here's what I think:

New passports (after we have left the EU) should be blue, but otherwise identical to current passports.

There you go, fixed the issue without spending any time and money. All we need is a minor change to the order to the passport book manufacturers.

Which doesn't surprise me because you have no idea of the real problems involved.

Really?? You're hiding it very well if you have. Perhaps it's so good it is even canny enough to elude from you. Look down the back of your pants it's probably there.

for a man who doesn't understand the meaning of the word "justification" you seem to be a bit arrogant.
