[Politics] Brexit

[Lever]

Replace those horrid red ones with a nice blue one you know it makes sense

It makes complete sense to you of course.... that was never in doubt.....
but when many UK travellers realise what it will mean for them in the future and how trivial the colour of their passport is in comparison, I suspect you will increasingly be in the minority....

Replace those horrid red ones with a nice blue one you know it makes sense

My kids wanted to know why their passports have been changed from the Burgundy ones that have given them hassle free travel over 4.5 Million km² all their lives, to a blue one that will now only give hassle free travel over 0.25 Million km². Their actual words were 'surely only a moron would think that would make sense'.

But don't worry, I immediately pointed out to them that not all Brexiteers are morons

It turns out Mrs Shouty woman is a Tommy Robinson groupie. Photos all over Twitter of her. Most definitely a plant.

This is how to expose the bigoted woman's daft diatribe

Croatia manage perfectly well with their blue passports whilst in the EU. I wonder who told the lies that EU passports had to be a horrid maroon?

Professor Brian Cox recently on Twitter

"A passport is only worth the rights it confers. It means nothing inside ones own country. This passport is weaker than the one it replaces, symbolising the removal of our rights to move and operate freely across our own continent. It therefore represents abject political failure."

Blue is the colour Brexit is the game clap:

It could be mildly amusing if it weren't for the sad fact that this, the 50p coin and your tea-towel are the sum total of the Brexit Benefits that you have managed to detail in more than 4 years

Not even seen a Brexit 50p yet. I'm sure the notes will eventually celebrate it as well then we can all carry the leave success around with us

When are you due to change yours ??

More to the point, apart from giving you a vicarious (and slightly dubious) thrill, what will the colour change do for you?

I used to have a lot of respect for Brian Cox, but when he goes all political he alienates all the people who voted opposite way to him, and especially the ones like myself who have purchased his books and dvds in the past, it is so unprofessional in my opinion. It's boring now.

Nobody is going to stop him or any other Celebrity from jumping on a plane, ferry, car or train and heading across Europe.

I doubt a very intelligent man like him is worried about a popularity contest. He is a scientist concerned with the loss of scientific cooperation that has been thrown away.

I really cannot see anything controversial about this statement. Whether you voted for or against Brexit, this is all accurate!

Very unprofessional, nothing like pissing off your customers.

So on the same basis, I will never watch a Michael Caine film again, never go in to a Wetherspoons again, never buyanything Dyson again etc etc.

No, no one is going to stop him jumping on a plane, ferry, car or train and heading across Europe, but when you meet him in the slow, non- EU queue at Customs you will realise why he is in a bad mood …..because it takes twice as long to be processed and you are subject to closer scrutiny and, when you get back to Blighty you get charged duty on your foreign purchases. Still, Blue passports eh ?

Now that's a shame. Because I know that he thinks very highly of your analytical skills when it comes to politics

*edit* Sounds like he agrees with my kids but doesn't use the word 'moron'. Don't worry, I'll have a word with my kids again

Who are his customers?
Who says it’s unprofessional to have an opinion?

Would you be so quick to label him as unprofessional for sharing his opinion if his opinion was the same as yours?

I doubt it - your post basically amounts to "how dare someone I like express an opinion with which I disagree?".

I think bashlsdir finds it difficult when one of their favoured celebs points out an uncomfortable truth. A truth caused by their vote
