Being in the EU (whether you agree with it or not) made trading with EU partners easy - it was the same setup for any member country, and the EU made deals with 3rd party counties for the benefit of all. Now we're hoping that the UK - with no history of making bilateral trade agreements - and a long history of f*cking up big important projects - is suddenly going to replace all of that, by December 31.
But, hey, we've got blue passports, right.
No history at all, apart from the 1000+ years before the EU negotiated overseas trade deals for the UK, within the last 40 years
And BINGO - another remainer going on about the colour of the passports

Re: The Blue Passport
So William of Normandy came over with a blue passport or did that Harold fella already have one?

Re: The Blue Passport
Tosh. I'm a remainer but that doesn't mean I'm actively hoping for a poorer standard of living and economic downturn just to spite leavers. I really hope it is a success as there's plenty of the population who can't afford for it not to be. Including me. I'm just pleased to have given up meat so I can swerve the chlorinated chicken and other meat that'll be prepared to a far lesser standard than what comes into the UK now.Sid Bishop wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 12:37 pmLike many other remainers, soon move onto the insults etc. Many remainers are REALLY hoping that leaving the EU will be bad for the uk and will be really annoyed if in 5 years time, things are ok and looking up.

Just another video/document that confirms what a truly stupid thing, leaving the EU is, and what idiots the people who forced this upon us are.
If only those who voted leave could suffer whats to come in the five years following Dec 31st 2020, and those of us who rejected it could carry on benefiting from being in the EU
Just shows how stupid the average brexiteer is, to praise this new passport, which takes away a plethora of rights/advantages from us, over the old passport which gives us so much more freedoms and rights
Almost 4 years after the referendum and I've given up waiting for a leaver to tell me what they'll be able to do on an everyday basis after we've left that they can't do now. What EU laws are they most looking forward to getting rid of?

My reasons for voting for leave were not for financial reasons, many other issues other than that.
You say that you are not hoping that leaving the EU will be a disaster but many leavers I have come across have told me that they HATE the decision to leave the EU and really hope it goes badly so that it gives pressure in the future for UK to reapply to go back in the EU. So for you it is as you say TOSH, but some others think differently to you. Different people, different opinions and predictions, have a good day.

Yes, no one forces you to apply for a passport. If you don't want a blue passport, just don't apply for a passport
