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

[DTCwordfan]

and are they going to exchange old for new freely so - I bet not.

r What is the unicorn on a British passport?
The Lion and the Unicorn are symbols of the United Kingdom. They are, properly speaking, heraldic supporters appearing in the full royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom. The lion stands for England and the unicorn for Scotland.

I care not a jot for the colour but thank goodness they won’t be the old large size.

I still have two of my old blue ones with the corner of the front cover clipped when they were renewed. The two or three "EU" versions which I've had went straight in the bin when they ran out.

[ToraToraTora]

yep I have my old proper Passports, judge, you didn't show them so much as bat them aside with it! another BA for your collection!

I feel a petition coming with a march to the commons demanding that British passports should be red white a blue and anyone with a passport cover that’s black, brown or smells of foreign spices to be put in the socks, deported and flailed at their destination, lol.

Just kidding op, I’m guessing it’s just a nod at nostalgia and not an “Anti foreigner” reason for ttt’s joy at blue passports

[Jahulaye]

Socks should read stocks

[Jahulaye]

Let’s be honest blue’sbetter than that horrible depressing maroon colour, I have many outfits in dark blue but not one in maroon, I’m guessing like 99% of fashion conscious people

[ToraToraTora]

perhaps they could retain the red ones for the vichy British then they can still fee part of the lovely EU.

[maggiebee]

Personally would like a tartan one!

[anneasquith]

Colour of passports keep the brexit happy . wonderful

[Mamyalynne]

Well, it's an expensive redesign project so I am glad they have made the right decision for so many - quite a while since I had a passport so makes little impact on me.

[Islay]

More taxpayers money wasted!!

[Voltage]

agree with islay total waste of time and money!

//Islay More taxpayers money wasted!!//
Why is it wasted? After leaving the EU we would have to have new passports.

[jackthehat]

Apparently, passport design is regularly tweaked, so this should prove to be no additional cost to the taxpayer....

BA to Kromo....Trivial doesn't even try to sum up this nonsense.

When once motorbiking around in Spain, and In a bit of a tiz in a bank in Ronda, I left my old dark passport face down on a near matching granite counter, I didn't discover what I had done until two days later and had to back-track to retrieve it.
So I'm happy with a red one!
