British Passports - Too hot for moderates

Whatever your political persuasion, defend your corner here. All we ask is that you voice YOUR opinion, rather than just post a link to a half-hour youtube video. Politics can get a bit lively, and if you prefer a less combative debate, please post in the Politics for Moderates section instead.

If people need ‘symbols’ of independence, they’ve already lost any sense of importance. A bit like a divorcee immediately rebelling and buying a new car, or wearing clothes designed for youths....

Why on earth are people getting excited about blue passports. It doesn't matter what colour it is, what matters is what it enables you to do. Unfortunately after brexit it is unlikely to enable you to do as much as you can do now.
Frankly, passports are the last thing people should be concerned about. What about banking and finance passporting rights? What about the potential loss of the open skies agreement etc etc. These are important issues, passport colour isn't.

As an aside, it seems the move to blue is seen by some as a symbol of independence and freedom from the "tyranny of the EU". North Korea's are blue.
