We won’t even need strawberry floating passports when our paid holidays are scrapped. We’re living in a hideous unending nightmare, folks.

It's okay because we have a stiff upper lip and the spirit of the dambusters will see us through any dark times.

And blue passports and SOVEREIGNTY!!!!!!

That passport stuff is amazing, what an embarrassment to cream yourself over the colour of a document. :lol:

After border has been sorted I just have to laugh at the mentalism across the water! :lol:

Not a story to do with Brexit, but it tells us all we need to know about banana splits who support it. That strawberry floating headline.

I saw some MP state that having burgundy passports was a humiliation to the British way of life...

Goes a long way to explaining why we're in such a mess :fp:

Not to mention that our "iconic" passports were actually black. Can't think why people wouldn't want that colour back.

They were dark blue, not black.

Nobody under the age of, what, 35 has any affinity to the blue passports anyway.

Could our current passports be better quality? Yes. Will they be better quality? I guess we'll have to wait and see...

They used to be a proper hardcover book, I'll give 'em that.

Very dark blue maybe but not black.

1915 – The first modern-style British passports, including a photograph and signature were first issued. They were made of a single piece of paper that folded out and sat between cardboard covers.

1921 – The first blue passport in the format of a book was issued in 1921, it had 32 pages and was written in French.

1947 – The final passports issued bearing the signature of the Foreign Secretary were issued.

1968 – UK passports began to be issued with validity for ten years, double the previous validity.

1972 – The first security feature was introduced to the passport – a special watermark. Laminated photographs would follow in 1975 and further security features in the 1980s.

1988 – The first burgundy coloured machine-readable passports were issued in the UK following the common format introduced by the European Economic Community.

Who gives a gooseberry fool, our passports are already very good quality compared to most other nations. They can survive years of backpacking and being thrown about. There is absolutely no point in changing them except to allow a few utter morons to wank themselves off about sovereignty.

Passports.

We strawberry floated the economy for the right to argue about what shade of blue our passports should be.

We don't deserve to be a country.

Brexit

Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?
