Keeping up with the latest Brexit News

Thanks Alan.  My oldest one must have been a dark blue that I have remembered as black.

I see that Scotland is preparing a legal case stating that Article 50 can be reversed without the need for agreement from the other 27 EU members.

Fixed that for you.

From high quality scans of my old passports, required by my employer's travel dept ...

my 78-88 passport:

It seems the remainers are having a fit over this. I was listening to James O'Brien this morning and he was really into meltdown. Most Brexit supporters see the removal of the EU wording as accurate, and a change of colour something to differentiate from an EU passport (except Croatia ). Maybe we will have a separate UK line for immigration when we come into Heathrow which will be faster. Nothing much else. No free entry to lounges!
Why the fuss by remainers ?

Since when did Remainers need much of an excuse to make a fuss?

Didn't take long for the thread to descend into remainers this, remainers that.

In the interests of balance, I listened to the same show. There were angry brexiteers hanging up on him or telling him that it was all about pride, getting our blue passports back, just like Christmas trees apparently. I don't think they were representative of most brexiteers though, just makes good radio.

See his meltdown, proper rage on him there

They are dark blue krish, I can see a very slight blue tinge in your 1988-1998 passport along the left hand crease. Have a suspicion the older the passports the darker they become.

We took on the EU standard format passports in 1988, how come you were issued with a blue British passport and not a red one?


Edit: just checked - the EU burgundy passports were issued in the UK in September 1988.

I think they are angry because the writing is on the wall. The re-introduction of blue UK passports is a trigger.

We might (hopefully) be exiting the bureaucratic organisation, and as we creep closer (will we ever get there?) to Brexit the more frustrated the remainers become?

This Blue one they are reintroducing looks like something an independent Scotland would choose, where is the St George red?
