Yeah I'll likely only ever travel with my Irish passport in future.

It'll be imperial measurements next so the silly old twats can feel comfortable when they're buying their potatoes.

The silly old twats are way ahead of you. From 2016:

One of the world’s oldest champagne makers is preparing to sell the fizzy drink in pint bottles – Winston Churchill's favourite measure – after Britain leaves the European Union, the Telegraph can disclose.

Pol Roger wants to sell champagne in imperial measures for the first time since 1973, when Britain’s decision to join the European Economic Community meant only metric measurements were allowed.

From April:

David Davis, the Brexit Secretary, says that on leaving the EU we can start deporting criminals who the EU forces us to retain, on top of preventing such undesirables from coming here in the first place.

It is one of the many benefits of being a sovereign nation. But I know from my postbag that there is another infliction from the decades of our EU membership that many would like to be shot of, and that was the imposition of the metric system on large parts of our life.

Consumer resistance ensured that our beer is still served in pints (though not in half-pint and pint bottles when bought in supermarkets: brewers please note), and that our signposts are still marked in miles.

But we have been forced on to the Celsius temperature scale, which is less precise than Fahrenheit;we can’t buy groceries in pounds and ounces, or petrol in gallons, or wallpaper in yards, even though these measurements...

Fantastic, bollocks to anyone who's been educated in the last 30 years and really doesn't have a clue what your hectares, chains and farthings nonsense is all about.

If we bring back leagues though it’ll sound like we are living in Middle Earth. :datass:

EU: Hey guys, we're producing a standard format of passport for convenience. It's burgundy, feel free to adopt it.
UK: Sure, seems convenient, nobody will really care, it's only a trivial symbol of national identity that people only care about when they're scrambling to remember what drawer they flung it in, before they go to the airport.

Thirty years later...

UK: Well, gooseberry fool...

Everyone from MPs to business people running with this £500m figure (which is also inflated by about £10 million), conveniently conflating the blue cover with the contract coming up for renewal anyway (which as it turns out could have also been altered to blue in the EU). Basically the whole thing doesn’t have anything to do with Brexit.

Choose your side, choose your bullshit.

I know he thinks he’s being funny but if Cameron had come back from his meetings with Brussels and said they’ve agreed to let us have our old passports back some people probably wouldn’t have voted to leave.

Cameron didn’t need to come back from Brussels with their agreement, our passports could have been any colour that we wanted.

Yeah I know that but they wouldn’t have known that and still don’t seem to grasp that we could have done it at any time now.

The decision to change it to blue is entirely due to Brexit

Brexit

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