No, I want a blue passport. It’s been my lifelong ambition since it cropped up this morning. I will be fuming if it doesn’t happen now. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what do we do about the name? It comes from a combination of the French passe and French seaport. As has been observed, why not just get rid of the passport altogether?

I can’t remember it at all tbh, nor do I give a shit about it. Most of our words and language derive have relations to other languages. Its got to be one of the most ridiculous brexit rows since this all began and it’s had some competition . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really a row though is it? Right wing media wants to paint it as a victory and remainers are just agog it's even a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir, sir? "No, British citizen" 'show passport cover, shake head and keep walking' - seriously. Otherwise they'd take your bags apart whilst you stand there like a lemon before them asking for some cash to let you through or 'solve a problem' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl the Llama Posted 22 December 2017 Share Posted 22 December 2017 So basically nobody on here from either side of the political divide gives a shit about the passport colour but both sides are obsessed with claiming the other side is going mental over it. Just another typical day in the FT politics thread then. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what the revised 2017 figures actually are before you get too excited. And I'll still point to worsening public services, increased homelessness and food bank usage, falling wages and record personal debt. If the proceeds of growth aren't helping ordinary people then what's it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
