Never mind all that guff about living and working in the EU "without let or hindrance" or mandatory WTO tariffs or any of the rest of the inconsequential nonsense about turning our backs on the best deal in the best trading bloc on the planet just confirm you now have A BLUE PASSPORT just like Winston Churchill would have had!

Thanks.... No it is not a blue passport. There has been controversy over the decision to issue new burgundy coloured passports with EU deleted from the cover despite still being in the EU and not having left yet. So my new passport is Burgundy and is valid ten years. Never mind Churchill's passport I still have my old Blue passport complete with entries when we were limited on how much money we could take out of the country. I still have the leather cover we used for the Blue passports...But it looks like I will not have a Blue passport for ten years if at all... https://www.gov.uk/government/news/blue-uk-passport-to-return-after-eu-exit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.... My old British Islands passport issued in Douglas under authority of the Lt Governor over ten years ago was also Burgundy in colour and had European Union on the front...So has EU been deleted from the cover of Island passports.....

the stinking enigma Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 One in 5 brits have started stockpiling food and medicine in case of a no deal Brexit. They should be all lined up and shot. Jesus christ. Embarrassing. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/12/britons-have-spent-4bn-stockpiling-goods-in-case-of-no-deal-brexit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Extrapolating that ratio outwards, that means as many as 2.5 regular posters on manxforums have also started stockpiling food and medicine in the event of a no deal Brexit. You should be lined up and shot. Jesus christ. Embarrassing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
