[Politics] Brexit

[vegster]

At last, it’s all been worth while, we are getting blue passports back

Apparently it's a colour favoured by 76 other countries.

 

[Berty23]

The most amazing thing is that countries each choose the colour of their passport. Funny old world we live in where this is front page news.

no it's not, how do you judge good or poor in the long term,, no the vote was leave and that's how it's going to be, you need to face up to reality sharpish .

The vote was shrouded in downright lies and people were sucked in by them who may now regret it ( on both sides) nobody was given any facts the whole thing so far has been a farce.
Sound to me like you know it's a mess and given a chance there may be the slightest chance of a reversal like the more intelligent Irish.
And if we were allowed to vote again on the final deal then 15 and upwards should be included, it's their future we are messing around with here, they should have been allowed to vote in the first place.

Gina Miller prevented the EU from interfering with the British legal system?


Another desperate attempt to link Brexit with kiddy-fiddling. Such a stupid argument; it's just as relevant to say that all the kiddy-fiddling in the last umpteen years, Saville, Harris et al, was all done while we were in the EU. Surely a reason to leave?

No, of course it isn't, ant more than a government minister with kiddy-porn on is computer has any relevance to Brexit.

I think you are either trying to link kiddy fiddling to the EU somehow, or once again, have badly misunderstood the situation, there is no accusation of any kiddy porn or paedophilia in this situation. He has not been sacked for any improper material existing on his computer, he has been sacked for denying he knew the Police had found some legal, but rather hardcore, porn on his desktop PC.

didnt the passports use to be black, or at least a very very dark navy?

Who's written these sectoral analysis, a primary school kid?

"In coastal communities fishing brings employment and economic activity (fishing along with its ancillary industries e.g. fish processing, boat building and servicing."
"As an island nation, the UK has been dependent on the sea for its trade and defence throughout history, and strong traditions of merchant seafaring can be traced back hundreds of years"
"Electricity is a fundamental part of modern society. Residential and industrial users rely on its use to ensure basic and vital needs such as lighting, heating or refrigeration are met on a daily basis."
"ONS data1 show that every sector in the economy depends on the availability of electricity to operate."
"Postal services are visible and valued by both members of the public and businesses. The postal service is an enabler of trade: companies of all sizes use it to build their business, supply goods and receive payment."

No wonder they didn't want them released.

You use your intelligence, I understand you may struggle here, so just trust us.

 

[Baldseagull]

You're kidding me, it just happens with hardly a murmur from anyone, we have been drifting and accepting, it seems you disregard Cameron giving some assurance to Turkey, there wasn't uproar but by all accounts when this is now cited we are told 'it was never going to happen, dont be a silly racist', you must be a fool if you cannot see the shift within the EU electorate.

You are supporting an organisation that you cannot possibly know the future path, yet you use the same argument to try and disqualify Brexit.

Your inability to understand the situation as was, has lead you to the wrong conclusion.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Yey, that was worth the billions we're spending right! I'm actually glad for the brexiteers that one of their big goals has been achieved.

Mildly amusing to hear that from 2019, the shiny new passports will be made in.... Germany, so we'll probably have to pay a tariff to buy our own passports

You do know the passport contract and design was up for renewal and consideration right ? So the fact blue has been chosen is pretty much irrelevant - it could have been green, pink or yellow - leaving the EU just allows us to pick whatever we wish. Just happens to be a nice side bonus of leaving not a reason to leave.

 

[Baldseagull]

So, apart from the last eighteen months, all those things were happening whilst we were in the wonderful magic solution to all problems that is the EU, then. Maybe, just maybe, you should consider the idea that changing that might be for the good. You won't, of course (and I predict that being an ex NHS employee myself).


No it won't. The fact that vastly greater numbers are living into their nineties might be; plus the huge increase in the price (and variety) of medicines since 1948); plus the NHS's success in keeping far more people alive than ever before - fulsome praise to the NHS for that but it does cause some financial problems..


Yes, we all knew it was nonsense. Nothing compared to Project Fear, but nonsense nonetheless. People working in - and out of - the NHS knew this. And some of us (actually rather a lot of millions of us) voted leave. Don't kid yourself - not everyone working for the NHS wanted to stay in.

You daft prick, yes whilst we were in the EU, but most significantly after a financial meltdown. We are more likely to face it again in a low regulation Liam Fox wet dream Brexit, than as members of the EU.

So far £250 billion has been either spent or earmarked as the cost of exciting the EU so far the only benifit is a blue passport that's assuming you see it as a benifit

Why do you think it's front page news in the usual rags?

The real news should be the reports that have now been released that are weak as ****, even at bachelor degree level, showing zero assessment on the impact of leaving.

If I had any experience of this type of thing I might think that the brief to get a certain number of pages out in a given timescale was pushed all the way down the line to someone too junior to refuse

Quite. Seriously, those statements wouldn't be good enough for A-Level Business Studies.

I wonder if the Leavers are happy to be leaving under the circumstances that we seem to be, with very little real thought given to the situation after March 2019.

This is all going to come unravelled in the new year. I give it till Summer before it's called off. Every prediction of mine on this matter has come to pass so I don't expect this to buck the trend. Hang in there people, it'll all be back to normal
soon.

Imagine all the right wing loony Brexit headbangers at gatwick excitedly waving their blue passports before finding out they can't go anywhere as there is no freedom of movement and they need visas and entry clearance to go abroad.

That will be well worth the £500million it will cost to change passports when there are thousands of children homeless this Christmas, who needs a home when you can have a blue passport

Thing is a lot of them don't go abroad, and I'm afraid it shows
