The Tories are never going to head the end of this blue passport business. For younger people particularly, it will become a symbol of the foolishness of the elder generation.
The Tories are not going to lose any young people over blue passports, those annoyed by the change will almost all have voted for Corbyn or the LDs anyway. It is about shoring up the base after the compromises made to get through Phase 1 of the tells with the EU, nothing more
If changing the colour of passports from red to blue 'shores up the base' then time to find a new base because the one you've got is bonkers. Stark raving bonkers!!!!!
It’s not the same blue, though, is it. Quite honestly most of the people I contacted yesterday (one email to a site elicited thirty or so responses) were far more concerned with the possibility of having difficulties in entering EU countries than with the colour of the document. The big concern is over the possibility of the European equivalent of an Esta, as with the US. Although TBH I don’t know of anyone who has been put off holidaying in the States, or transiting to the Caribbean, by having to get an Esta.
So why do so many Tories gain pleasure from inflicting pain, terror and death?
Don't know, why are so many Labourites openly anti Semitic now Jezza and the hard left run the roost?
Deary, Deary, Deary me! Right in to Bibi's way of wanting you confused and what to think and believe. Palestinians, Jordanians and many Arabs are also actually Semites, what they are not (like many Jews) is Zionists.
Zionism is a political quasi religious system thought up and mostly started back in the 1880's, then in the mid 1920's became infused on a theory of eugenics which was popular at the time (Yep! the same theories used by the Nazi's to exterminate Jews) and is still used as an excuse in the Knesset for some of their policies towards the Palestinians.
So, to get back to your argument, many on the left, and in other parties across the spectrum, are not anti-semitic, they are anti-zionist. Or was David Cameron wanting to bomb the hell out of Syrians and invade them as he did to Libya, or Tony Blair to Iraq, or TMay flogging off weapon systems to Saud to bomb the hell out of Yemen (both semites), was that anti semitic - it is by your argument.
And, possibly controversially, after the Zionists have got rid of the Palestinians in Greater Eretz Israel, then, guess who will be next in the pursuit of racial purity of the Homeland?
