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 understandab

"Just watch out for the longer waiting times/queues at passport control. Doesn't bother me as I rarely travel within the EU."
It doesn't bother me and I do travel within the EU quite a bit. I expect foreign nations to which I travel to take a bit of care over who they do and do not allow to enter their country. On entering Cuba, for example, those with foreign passports have to have their photograph taken on arrival, give details of the plans for their stay and have a return ticket. As well as this about 25% have their medical insurance certificates examined. Failure to produce one means you have to buy a policy to cover your stay before you are allowed to leave the airport.
What I'm really looking forward to is a return to a "UK Passport Holders Only" gate at UK airports. I'm somewhat tired of having to queue behind the world and her husband from all the other EU nations when I arrive at Gatwick. Almost every other country I have visited outside the EU has such an arrangement for its native passport holders whereas we are lumped in with all the waifs and strays from 27 other countries. Yet another pretentious attempt at nationhood from the EU.

Haha, I could have predicted the responses from the usual!
I personally think it is symbolic of our release from the EUSSR. No it wont cost the tax payers a fortune, as pointed out they are continually tweaked and anyway how much can removing the words European Union from it cost.
What I am more concerned about though is the very real possibility this will be used by Remoaners (not remainers) to lull us into a false sense of security when Theresa the Appeaser capitulates and we end up worse off by belonging to the EU in all but name; but with no vote.
I still have my blue passport. It is nice but the size is not really practical, it simply does not fit in a pocket.

the blue passport is not "British", it was required by the League of Nations. So Britain will now be once again to kowtowing to an international organisation, and not even a live one. Cute.
And did you know... the EU couldn't care less what colour the passport is. Croatia's had a blue one all along.
