Lucky me, I think I may qualify for dual nationality and a
passport from an EU member state. I won't pass that up if I can
get it. It may be very useful to leave this sinking ship behind in
a few years.

What could better symbolise Britain's exaggerated pride in it's
own shoddiness than the old blue passport? Oversized, creasable,
with shabby paper behind windows, prone to letters rubbing off,
and all that. Yet many retain a strange proud hypnotic attachment
to it. I wonder if Brexiteers will turn back the clock and restore
it? I don't mind the colour but the rest of it is so ugh!


Well there will need to be new passports issued at some time.
If the EU or other countries refuse to accept an EU passport from the UK
as no longer being valid it will have to be before anyone can travel
abroad so there could be a mass application for passports and it could
take a while to process them.
I expect everyone will have to *pay* for a new passport soon.
