    But is it black or blue?

    True story.

    Just after the EU passports were issued I flew into India. About 6 passengers had the EU passports, the rest had the 'big' blue ones.

    Passengers ( 6 ) with the EU passports were sent to one side, almost refused entry by Indian Imm'

    Airline staff had to make a few frantic phones to the nearest Brit embassy to assure the Indian Imm' that the EU passports were genuine. Took about 2 hours of our time hanging about wating for them to get through.

    I had a similar experience in reverse at my local imm office during a recent extn renewal when my new passport was the first blue one they had seen.

    Perhaps you’d like to provide evidence that Brexit has delivered its promise to the UK fishing industry, has not damaged the UK’s higher education industry and has not damaged the highly important UK financial services industry.

    I'm not in your league when it comes to guesswork.

    If you are going to criticise other's English ability you would do well to refrain from childish emojis and instead use the language properly yourself.

    I'd call it initiative. Why else has :signthaivisa: made them so readily available?

    What the Government publishes on its ‘announcement web page’ is by definition ‘Propaganda.

     

    But thank fully you’re here to demonstrate how it works on some folk.

    It was posted to neuter the idiots that had sought to weaponize the situation several pages ago & with no indication whatsoever as to my own view of that particular aspect of B-B-Brexit.

    I see the EU had grand plans to double the budget of their Erasmus program  from 14.7 billion euros to 30 billion wonder the EU was keen that the UK  to retain Erasmus membership.

    As everyone knows the EU never reduces its budget or scales back it grandeur plans even when they lose a major player  so I guess the remaining 27 members will have to pick up the extra cost
