Yes yes yes we are getting blue passports once we get out of this disgusting EU. That will wind up those self elected nobodies with their snouts in the eu money trough.

I wonder how much more that is going to cost?

It's symbolic - and if you don't think it winds them up, then look at what Anna Soubry said today! That proves that it winds them up!

I wish they'd just get on with fecking brexit instead of it traversing every political conversation..

In reality David Davis and the government don't have a scooby doo how it's going to work.. even now 18 months after the vote.

Everything winds Anna Soubry up!

Her constituency is in my area of the UK and she is always on the local news moaning about something completely trivial. She contradicts herself from one week to the next and does little for the people she is supposed to represent.

She really is an odious woman.

And we can all compare our lovely blue passports as we queue for hours at airports unable to go through the EU passport queue.

And Brexiter believe that it was The Sun that achiebed this

That's handy it will make it easier for me to pick up the passport I want be it my Irish EU one or My British non EU one. Will hold off getting a new British one until the change happens.

The colour won't indicate this, the lack of the words of European Union will, we could of had it in blue at any time.

The passport design has to be changed because it references the EU on the cover.

I think the rage shown by the OP is way OTT though, they are still our neighbours.

But you have to look more closely to see that. See a blue one and immediately, you know that it cannot be an EU passport.

Really? Who cares? I've got a life and stuff like that..no time to be arsed what color that central bureaucracy have made the cover of my passport.

Will it be better? Will it get me through passport control faster? What will the new color do? Other than be a new color? Not much I imagine

They are not "self elected" we vote for MEPs. Your ignorance is really showing.

In relation to passport colour, no one under the age of 45 has ever had anything different from the burgundy passport we currently have. So if you really remember it well, then your age is showing too.

I voted remain, I'm a globalist but I respect everyone's position.

But if people get excited about a different colour passport with the intent of waving it like a flag as an in your face gesture, to other countries who have always warmly welcomed me, then I do worry about our future.

It might be blue and that is about all it will have in common with the old British iconic passport...it will not be the bigger hardback version and will be the same size and more or less appearance of the EU one barring colour and a little wording

Juncker is not the civil service and the UK gets to vote in MPs who then serve as ministers. Juncker has never been on any UK ballot paper as a candidate. That's the problem. Well it was. Not anymore.

Well if you take a flag flying as a 2 fingered salute then you have a problem. It's part of national identity. Our passport was always blue until the 1980s when the EU told us to change it. That is no longer relevant, so why wouldn't we change it back to they way it always was from the 1920s.

Juncker is the leader of the largest party in the European Parliament. It's exactly the same as how we vote for our Prime Minister.

Well you might find it spurious, but the majority of the UK don't. The unelected nature of the EU by people in the UK was one of the main reasons why the UK voted to leave the EU.

A chat about the passport potentially going blue, is a good one for the Lounge. It is quickly turning into a 'moved to politics forum'. By all means chat about the usual shit, but there's 100 threads running in there to do it in.

Because most people looked at a bus advert and most read right wing press? Yeah right!

The central plank of Nigel Farage's argument was about taking back control. That, and uncontrolled immigration is what swung it in favour of Leave.

Hooray at last !!!! All morning I’ve been thinking is it just me who couldn’t give a shit.

Wether we are in or out and the benefits or negatives that come of being out are I’m pretty sure the colour of our passports SHOULD be pretty far down the line.

Oh dear oh dear. The divorce bill is a LOT more than £40m. You are missing quite a few digits off there. You have also fallen hook, line and sinker for that utterly debunked £350m figure written on the side of the bus.

Many Brexiters on here say that no one was stupid enough to fall for that figure, now we have a great example of someone who did!

In 2016 the UK paid £13.1 billion into the EU. EU spending on the UK was £4.5 billion. Those are the facts.

So at a net of £8.6, it will take less than 5 years before we are in profit.

No it won't.

Yes it will. It is still a passport that will enable you to travel to more countries than virtually every other country on the planet!"

No it won't. After March 2019 we will no longer have the right to travel anywhere in the EU, without informing the authorities about travel plans.

We will no longer have automatic right of entry/admission.

And of course the queues at emigration will be even longer.... However I suspect that the majority who wanted leave will rarely if ever be troubled by that.

"Well,it seems we are not getting our £350 million a week and it's going to cost us tens of billions but,yay.We are going to have blue passports,so that was all worth it then.

its a fop to the uneducated, xenophobes and bigots so that later on when brexit has unravelled they can say 'yeah but, we have our own passport back..

we are 'great' again..

What's uneducated, xenophobic and bigoted about wanting to take control of your own country and controlling unchecked immigration that is having a detrimental effect on the country?

And we paid in far more into the EU than we got back whereas for many other countries it was the other way round. Why should be prop them up, when the money needs to be spent here?

if you think that migration, which we need funny enough to keep certain industries going is going to be sorted by this shambles then you needed to look at the differences between none and EU immigration..

lumping it all together under one sound bite gives away that people don't know and did not know the issue 18 months ago..

How did that then Tory Home Sec do with her plans and never met targets on the issue btw, the one who is now PM..?

again migration has been positive for the economy which has been widely reported but hey just ignore that..

"Well,it seems we are not getting our £350 million a week and it's going to cost us tens of billions but,yay.We are going to have blue passports,so that was all worth it then.

We will save money once the payments stop when we leave. If we £40 million in divorce, then at £350 million a week it won't take long to recoup it.

Many Brexiters on here say that no one was stupid enough to fall for that figure, now we have a great example of someone who did!

In 2016 the UK paid £13.1 billion into the EU. EU spending on the UK was £4.5 billion. Those are the facts.

So at a net of £8.6, it will take less than 5 years before we are in profit.

That's a good deal!

Did you also account for the money the EU paid to private UK instituions, or just the money the EU gave to central government?

Ooops, back to the drawing board again!

The irony being we've always been able to have blue passports. There is no EU requirement for them to be burgundy. Croatia kept it's blue passports on joining the EU.

Still it'll be handy having blue passports, with no economy, no human rights, no NHS, no workers rights and cheap American Chlorinated chicken.

Turns out the EU wasn't making us have the burgundy passport anyway. We could have had a blue one (as per the above article, EU member Croatia does), but UK governments just went with the standard issue EU one.

Another example of blaming the EU for something we actually had the power to control the whole time...

It costs nothing. The contract for the production of passports was up for renewal anyway. We are still subject to EU competition rules at present, so all of the capable manufacturers are able to tender, whether inside or outside the UK. Unsurprisingly producing passports in blue, instead of red is the same price.

Existing passports will remain valid even though they say European Union on them, until they expire.

New blue passports will not be issued until October 2019.

Therefore you could have a new EU logo'd one in September 2019, which will last until 2029.

To be fair, I am not arsed what colour passport is, but IF there is such a high cost to the country, it is too high a price to satisfy the few that are arsed.

Brexit aside, this country has been in much better shape and I fail to accept that ALL that is wrong right now is down to us being an EU member.

So OP... are you going to renew your passport immediately so you can have a blue one, or will you let the current passport expire and change it when it's due?

Personally I don't care what colour the passport is, it means nothing to me either way.

"I care that it is blue. It shows immediately that we are out and not in and that is very important."

Except, if we wanted a blue or black passport, we could always have had one, like Croatia has. So it actually shows nothing at all.

"I care that it is blue. It shows immediately that we are out and not in and that is very important.

The colour won't indicate this, the lack of the words of European Union will, we could of had it in blue at any time.

But you have to look more closely to see that. See a blue one and immediately, you know that it cannot be an EU passport."

Incorrect. EU counties can have whatever colour passport they choose. It's quite simply another BREXIT lie to say otherwise. Whilst most EU countries have a burgundy passport some, like Croatia which has black, have other colours.

"The passport design has to be changed because it references the EU on the cover.

I think the rage shown by the OP is way OTT though, they are still our neighbours.

Our neighbours yes. The trouble is that they used to be the sort of neighbours who told you how to cut your grass, or that you don't take your bin in quickly enough.

No longer will they we those type of neighbours, thank goodness!"

Our neighbours will still be the same, unless you think some how that France and Ireland are going to actually be physically moved as a result of BREXIT.

You can, if you want. We all can if we want. Why don't you fly a Union Jack or George Cross if you want, and if you don't want to then you already know why you don't see as many flags here as in the USA.

If they make it, they'll secretly rub the inside with garlic or Bratwurst, to try to convert us back to their weird ways.

If it's going to smell of anything it should be roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.

Fuck everything else, if BREXIT gave us passports that smelt of Yorkshire Puds I'd have voted out.

Nobody knows yet, it's not been clarified.

In the campaign, Cameron said all British beef cows would explode if we left the eu, but Farage said they would double in size, meaning beef and yorkshire puds would be free in the future. I want answers."
If corbyn gets in we could be sniffing chicken tikka masala.These social justice warriors have no limits or sense of proper British decency and culinary taste.

"This is like watching people argue over which turd tastes better.

And that shows your lack of intelligence.

I think people who kick off on a thread about passport colour are doing a fine job of that already.

There is a dedicated forum where you can get a belly full of butting heads.

Why not go and do it in there?

Debate is allowed. It should be encouraged. There is not just one accepted view of everything, in spite of what the left-wing, thought police snowflakes want to impose on us.

And the 'will of the people' is not represented by roughly 1/4 of the people, in spite of what the right-wing, snowdrop, thought police and their press want to impose on us.

The passport change wouldn't have affected you if you still lived in the UK shag, as you are a Swedish national I presume you have a Swedish passport? "
That is right I have a swedish passport too and no it wouldnt affect me in that way, but its better to be part of something than not

Mays really scraping the barrel looking for anything to appease the nut jobs of the extreme brexiters.

The passport could always have been blue. If Brexiters werent getting hard over nostalgia theyd have enough blood in their brains theyd see that this cost is another reason to see Brexit as a bad idea.

A large criticism of leaving the EU is that we're going to lose (and not replace) an awful lot of EU law and policy that is very, very good for us. There are particular concerns around workers rights and human rights.

But that was all out in the open before the vote - lots of leave voters actively *want* us to lose the laws that are, on the whole, good for us because they perceive it will benefit the country (or possible, it will benefit *them*)."
this. But it’s worse than that. The government are using the *mandate* to go further ... I don’t recall leaving the echj on the ballot paper.

I am really struggling to understand what all the fuss is about passports. I use my passport probably more than average and I can’t really get excited or agitated about it changing colour next time I have to renew it.

The colour change is completely irrelevant but the removal of the words “European Union” will result in changes as to how the passport can be used in Europe.

I understand that there will be European version of the American ESTA system which for the vast majority of us will make very little difference other than having to get permission online before travelling. However, like the US ESTA system, if you have a criminal record or are known to the Police, jollies to Spain and elsewhere in the EU might be off the agenda or at least made much more complicated. The US also have a Global Entry system where known and frequent travellers get expedited immigration clearance. That said, immigration queues have dropped dramatically in the last 12 months so that is no real benefit at the moment.

More than that. It's taken away many people's right to live and work in other countries. Fuck the slightly longer queues when traveling. Fuck the few quid you'll have to pay for a passport. Fuck the colour. Lifestyles and dreams have been torn apart.

Actually it has just made doing the above a bit more complicated. For the brighter than average person, it really won’t make very much difference. For those who are not quite up there it has most certainly reduced their possibilities and ironically - many Brexiters are in this very same subset.

My opinion about the whole Brexit thing is that it will gradually impact the lower to middle levels of society the most. As they are predominantly the ones who voted for this, they don’t really have anyone else to blame when they wake up one morning and start to feel the effects of the slow motion train crash that is Brexit.

The eu laws are being transposed into British law.

But people need to ensure they vote for parties that implement future laws and rights that are important to them, rather than relying on an external entity to do it.

But isnt that what Farage and his merry gang were EMPLOYED to do in the EU parliament....to represent...they could had vetoed any of these laws that were made from external entries as you put it.....and so could the UK parliament as well...your EU bashing fails you yet again

What remainers are not saying though is that this will work both ways and will also apply to EU citizens wanting to come into the UK. The Uk's security will be increased as any criminals wanting to come in from the EU will be flagged up by this system and we can refuse entry to them if we so wish.
