Sportsman 350 Posted March 22, 2018 The blue "Brexit" passports are to be printed in Europe it seems. Now, I may be a "no nothing dic" but even I can see a degree of irony in that. 1 Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

Steve Walker 940 Posted March 22, 2018 Given that we are still in the EU, and that there are regulations concerning procurement of government contracts which still apply to us, did we have a choice? In any case, I hope that post Brexit we will still use EU based services for government projects if that gets best value for money. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't let the EU build our warships so why let them print our passports? Does seem a bit ironic though. http://www.seaanglingnews.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One can get round EU tendering regulations on national security grounds. We could have done the same but apparently chose not to. The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.Vaut mieux ne rien dire et passer pour un con que de parler et prouver que t'en est un!Mi, ch’fais toudis à m’mote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same outfit that prints stamps, driving licenses, visas, vehicle registration certificates and so on.

corydoras 388 Posted March 22, 2018 I wonder how all those boycotting EU products are going to cope? If they remain true to their principles then they will boycott the blue passports. Should make for interesting scenes at border control.
