so if i find brexit titillating and you've been harassing my brexit views, then you are sexually harassing me?

Saw this on Twatter:
“What does this new passport do?”
“It’s blue.”
“Can I use it to travel freely and work in 26 neighbouring countries?”
“No - but look, it’s blue.”

So David Davis has published 39 of the promised Brexit sectoral analyses, which he had described as being in 'excruciating detail'. They are not, as we had been led to expect, impact assessments, as no such assessments have been done. I get the feeling that these have been knocked up in last couple of months to cover up the fact that Davis is a lazy, incompetent liar.
Best for Britain CEO Eloise Todd said: “These reports are the most useless and shoddy piece of work a government department has ever produced. Even the Iraq Dodgy Dossier had some useful information in it.These are a shoddy mess that a sixteen year old wouldn't be proud of. It is a masterclass in copy and paste. David Davis has been shown up for the charlatan he is. He needs to consider his position.

I want a EU passport let’s all hope it will be an option going forward.

Bitcoin value drops by a third this week.
Oh dear, how sad, nevermind.
Of course, we could have had a blue passport all along if the government wanted - Croatia is in the EU and has one. Mrs Thatcher didn’t assert herself it seems - probably cheaper to go for the job lot burgundy. Farage has claimed this as the first tangible victory for Brexit, turns out it was our decision rather than the nasty EU.
I think we should go right back to the original blue British passport first issued in 1921.when the writing was in the language of diplomacy. French. I vaguely remember passports being in both English and French.

I genuinely had no idea burgundy was anything to do with the EU. Not sure what will improve now they’ll be blue but then tangible benefits haven’t been on the agenda much throughout this whole thing.
£500m seems a bit much. Would like to see how that gets broken down.

'Describe your bin-based Brexit bonanza'
It's stunning... the thickerati now out in force on Twitter crowing over the change of colour in a travel document - as if (a) we could't have had it before and (b) as thought it makes an actual tangible difference to anything - other than to enable the pathetic, misguided bleating about 'sovereignty' or 'taking control'... ****ing idiots.
Surely they’re too patriotic to ever need to leave the country. When we leave the EU the summers will be longer and gloriously warm and we can all holiday in Blackpool.
It does make a difference. It means we have to stand in a longer queue, with the people from countries needing visas who tend to spend a lot longer getting through, whenever we go to a European country. Of course citizens of the EU will have the same inconvenience coming here, so in a kind of spiteful way it’s a draw.
The reason why the old passport was scrapped was not because of the colour but rather it's size - the EU. Passport is slightly smaller than the old British one and fits onto the scanner at airports. The British would have had to change their old passports anyway to satisfy security at American customs. A new blue one would have to be exactly the same size as the present EU. one. Apparently this new, bluer than blue passport could well be manufactured in France (there are 2 European firms on the short list), which would certainly have some Brexiters seeing red.
At least I won't get my British and European passports mixed up in future
