Why do we need any colour passport? We should just be able to shout, “British! Less of your nonsense!” and stroll straight through.

“What does this new passport do?”
“It’s blue.”
“Can I use it to travel freely and work in 26 neighbouring countries?”

I really really hope the EU decide to super-troll the UK by introducing blue EU passports in 2020.

I’ve just spent the last ten minutes screaming “Take that you burgundy symbol of EU oppression” at my passport. It just stares insolently back, as if it is an inanimate and merely functional object and its colour doesn’t matter.

Those people desperate for a traditional blue passport will be upset to find the new one will still have a photo of a fuckwit inside them.

Seriously. This blue passport thing – none of us Remainers thought it was real. We thought it was the most absurd thing some random brexiter has said, that we could use to take the piss out of other Brexiters. But no. It’s real. The UK is a joke. https://t.co/oOazC4yZg7
