Not so iconic.
Genuine question. Does anyone give a monkey's what colour their passport is? Na, didn't think so.
The UK's decision to leave the EU is still continuing to divide opinion but the facts remain that the majority of people in the UK voted for Brexit. This being said, a good debunking is always welcome.
As reported previously, the news that the
"iconic" blue passport is coming back - well, younger voters never had one - is being championed as a massive victory for the Leave camp.
Despite this "victory", during an interview with BBC, Brandon Lewis, Minister of State for Immigration, cannot promise that new blue passport will actually be made in UK.
Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland, found that news rather amusing.

The Prime Minister has also weighed in on the blue passport issue via Twitter.
"The UK passport is an expression of our independence and sovereignty – symbolising our citizenship of a proud, great nation. That's why we have announced that the iconic blue passport will return after we leave the European Union in 2019," she said.
There's only one massive issue with that.
