Pity they'll not also be the old size too!

Who cares? What a trivial piece of nonsense.

[emmie]

think someone else posted this news, my current passport is out of date anyway

[gingejbee]

please explain the "good news" part of it.....

[ummmm]

Do people really care?

[Prudie]

Seed for a spat of course but I think it's good news, I like tradition

[Islay]

Does it matter what colour the passports are?
Seems a silly thing to get excited over!

[gingejbee]

ummmm...yes, some really think that the colour, design, wording etc is somehow important.....

[ummmm]

What is anti British about not caring what colour a passport is? I've only ever known the passport as it is now.

[gingejbee]

Explain why it's anti-British.....

[Kromovaracun]

"Anti-British." God how pathetic.

[-Talbot-]

Prudie, tradition is a thing of the past ... the sooner every bit of Europe is exactly the same the better.

Think of all the money we will save by not bothering to travel to the next country, city, town and village because it is just like the last one you visited.

Personally, I would have gone for racing green.

[Islay]

Anti British?
Wise up!!

[pastafreak]

So now it will look like dozens of other countries blue passports...

[New Judge]

The main thing to get in a spat when it comes to passports is not their colour or size (though I must say I liked the old blue hardback versions). The size will not change because, quite understandably, most countries adhere to a standard size so that they can be read by machine.

No, the main thing which I will celebrate is the disappearance of the words “European Union” which appears first - before "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" - from the cover. The EU does not and cannot issue passports. It is not a sovereign nation with that privilege. The embossing of the words “European Union” on member nations’ passports was indicative of only one thing – that wretched organisation’s preposterous ambition to become a single sovereign nation state. There is little more symbolic of an independent nation than its ability to issue its own passports - in the format and colour it chooses. The EU cannot do that (at the moment) so it hijacked everybody else’s.

If it is anything like the original blue passport with gold embossed lion and unicorn it will look unlike other passports.

a load of twaddle....it's what the title is not what *** colour it is.
