“The humiliation of having a pink European Union passport will now soon be over... "

Pink??? I know colours are subjective, but that's not even close :)

The man behind the "pink" comment has more to say on the subject

Considered the second most important news item of the day after Boris willy-waving at the Russians (an ineffective tactic, I'd guess).

Weren't they anyway partly pink inside? May be misremembering.

It's pinkish inside with a map of the UK, and a globe and all sorts of retro graphics.

My Dutch one is also pinkish inside. Maybe the VISA stamps show up nicely against the pink? Tradition just? Dunno.

But, yeah, priorities!!! Some people will be really happy with this, in the meantime May is chatting to the Polish government that is soon getting EU voting rights removed for trying to control the judiciary. Unless they mend their ways, but I don't see it atm.

(the law and order party is Poland's "trump" moment, unfortunately)

and this is what the whole sorry affair is about blue iconic passports and the right to eat bent carrots, oh and sovereignty , fuck you EU we are getting our blue passports back. (sad face)

Rhymes with Garage has told the BBC that the return of the blue passport is the "first real, tangible victory" for the lea-moan-vers. And it literally is. Even though we were never forced to have a red one anyway, we could have kept it blue. But yeah, EUROPE.

jesus. fuck this blue passports shit.

I quit. I want out. It's so embarrassing to be British right now. Leave-tards.

Ditto

the only people that remember blue cunting passports will be fucking dead soon.

They were actually a very very very dark blue.

Like priest's socks.

Whoever makes a passport cover that makes it look like the old red one is going to be quids in.

Someone must already be on to this.

I would've thought whoever makes the dark blue covers is already on it...

You've been able to buy them for years

Yes...

Blue passports could have been re-introduced without Brexit, Government admits

And...wait for it: Britain’s previous blue colour was itself a foreign imposition, originating in guidance issued by the league of nations...

It's honestly gotten to the stage of a Belgian absurd play by now. On that note, those Belgians do that really well, weird af stuff.

What is the government burying though while we get worked up about this? :)

As much as I am sure he was a bit of a Tory tosser, can you imagine Winston Churchill allowing this bollocks to carry on? Or Atlee?

Or .... whisper it, Thatcher.

Why won't someone grow a fucking pair of gonads and tell the public how the real world actually is?

What is the government burying though while we get worked up about this? :)

A lot. Not so much burying bad news but because they don't want to be seen to be distracted from Brexit. Had dinner with someone who works in public affairs for a very well known consumer organisation earlier this week and apparently they rushed out a lot of stuff before everyone went home for Christmas, but the irony was some of it was actually good stuff but they don't want to shout about it because they want to seem totally focused on Brexit.
