Its been done to death. It dosntv say anywhere 350 mil will be spent on the NHS

You are right it does not say that on the bus but just look up the speeches made while standing next to the bus.  It's all there including "let's spend that 350 million on the NHS".  Lot's of quotes like that.  But it is true that the bus bit has been done to death.  The Brexiteers will never accept the truth over it.  May as well move on.

It has not been said that British citizens will have to pay for their visas to EU countries and it hasn't been said that they won't.  I vaguely remember in an EU statement made last year that it was something that would be up for discussion and would be decided country by country.  Can't find the quote though.

 

What I would say is that the media are jumping on anything and everything being said on all sides and manipulating it to make a headline.  The fact that we are all rising to the bait shows how desperate we all are to make a case for our arguments.

Sure. It wasn't meant to leave that impression. Uh-huh right. And apart from that the 350 million figure was a lie.

Try reading the whole thread, since writing that, I corrected that to say that they were just E.U recommendations and the UK followed those recommendations , as did every other Country, barring Croatia

Yes, still your claim was incorrect, but admitting to that, no way.

Passport specs have been decided by the UN and have been since they took over from the League of Nations.

Unfortunately there is no defined size, I would have thought it would make more sense that they should be all the same size and follow the same format, also one should have the same passport number for life, post-fixed with a issue number. 

[Basil B]

More important than the covers colour they should be printed in the UK.

Gina miller clearly says 60 euros when the new blue passport. 

[baansgr]

Gareth Snell, Bill Esterton amongst many other remainers caught out blatantly lieing and scaremongering yesterday on this issue. No extra cost involved yet openly saying it will cost the taxayer £500 million. Worse still blaming homelesness and child poveety because of this, shame they didnt try to curb the massive forign aid budget which shadows this piddly amount.

60 euros is the cost of a 60 day schengen visa, over 90 days cost 99 euros.

 

In an extreme (and hopefully unlikely) "hard Brexit" scenario, UK citizens may have to obtain schengen visas to travel to EU.  Even a visa waiver program will likely require a fee similar to the US's $14 ESTA visa waiver program. 

 

No doubt Ms Miller was being alarmist,  but not necessarily inaccurate as the travel issue is far from being settled.

Gina Miller clearly has an agenda, and I'm sure all of us hoping for the best are tired of those pursuing agendas.....

 

I'm happy though that gina has finally made her bias so clear with her obvious fear-mongering comment.

Still waiting on what the remainers think about gina millers lie regarding Brits will have to pay 60 euros to enter other European countries. 

Charge EU members 80 Pounds Sterling for a visa to enter the UK, and

put them in line behind our new  friends from the sub continent and Africa,

Two can play at that game !

I had hoped for the Christmas good cheer; goodwill to all men.

 

But know the tripe trade is booming. Cheers!

 

Happy Yuletide ?

[ballpoint]

The UK trumpets it will get its blue passport back, and the people cheer.  Why does that remind me of the very last bit of this clip?

Doesn't matter what you say as the liberal trolls will pour scorn all over everything other than their intolerant opinion. There was a time when these people were called out for committing treason.

As an American- can I get a blue British Passport in return for my US Passport .  Some Americans so disgusted with Trump have a desire to rejoin the United Kingdom as a Commonwealth member. We would get rid of Trump and put in one of the royals as Governor-General of the American Territories.
 
I was in favor of this until I heard I had to give up American baseball and replace it with Cricket. But  what to with Trump- since he has English heritage- possibly a peerage in the English countryside-  hmmm.  cricket anyone!!!   Cheers!!
 

My dear fellow, don't worry. Lots of the better (girls) public schools play baseball.
They call it "rounders"!

The bus didnt say 350mil to NHS. Even today on BBC world the idiot that brought that up was laughrd at. On the other hand today, blatant lies by the guardian and gina miller saying having a blue passport will cost 60 eoros for a visa and will be sent to the back of the queue. Project fear and scaremongering lies.

Exactly... It dosnt say 350 mil to NHS. On the flipside, The Guardian, Gina Miller and numerous remainer MPs and celebs have been quoting Brits will have to pay 60 euros to enter European countries, they will be sent to the back of immigration queues and the new passport will cost taxpyers 500 mil.... All blatant lies and scaremongering.

Quite right, with all this nonsense going on its embarrassing speaking in an English accent over here, seriously considering of cultivating an Oz twang, Alabama drawl, anyone?.
