What colour is the passport ?

...and red is more of a national English colour than blue is anyway!


(yes I know England is not Britain but England was the majority of the population to vote for independence).

It's all a French conspiracy to take over Britain, one Bleu at a time.

Should have made it fluorescent pink and ******* owned it as the humour we should be known for, self-deprecating sarcasm.
 
It's ok my mate, not even that long ago, maybe 4 years, had a (genuine) Irish passport that looked like it had been made by a 10 year old. The photo as literally stuck on top and taped over.

I can't believe people are, as the Express headline says, 'furious' at the new passport. :rolleyes: Who gives a monkeys what it looks like, it just serves a purpose.

Because it's a symbol of post-Brexit Britain — it's so much more than just an identity document that allows you to travel around the world.

Brexit voters were promised blue passports like they had before we joined the EU (which they could have had anyway) and now they're upset that it's not the right shade of blue, even though it's exactly the same colour as the passports we had before we joined the EU…

Were they ever the colour shown in that photo? The old ones were black, the new ones were burgundy. I have my old one in front of me, and unless I hold it close enough to my monitor so it reflects the OcUK background, it's as black as a black cat in an unlit coal bunker 20m underground with the door closed in Northern Sweden at midnight on the Winter Solstice.

I do find it quite ironic that people are trying to use a document which allows you to travel to foreign countries and interact with other cultures and races as a symbol for xenophobia :D
 
Did Boris cut corners on these to spend the 900K, just announced, for branding his grey airplane with the Union flag, instead ?

Somewhere along the line in the past few months, they must have switched suppliers. I knew I'd seen it in blue before.

I don't get it, we've clawed our sovereignty back from the evil freedom vampires in the EU and we celebrate by changing our passports to an even less interesting colour than they already are? Where's the panache? Where's the style? There's not even any sparkly bits? Why can't they be all shiny and holographic? We could have given panini the contract. Why didn't we add a mechanism so that when you open them they fire glitter in the face of the nasty forrin customs officer at Malaga airport who refuses to speak English like a civilised person? And then it could sing rule Britannia until you close it, like one of those annoying birthday cards.

Missed opportunity Farage.

While you’re absolutely correct, I’ve always been very careful not to call Brexiters racist or xenophobic, so I’d like to think that contradiction doesn’t apply to me. ;)
