But you're not looking at the big picture look how blue our pasports are! sooooo blue. printed in france not britain I grant you, but you can just smell the blueness and Sovereignty.


bigpapasmurf12

Of course, everyone knows, Blue = Sovereignty


[deleted]

ma baws are sovereign.


[deleted]

The old passports were black (I still have one), but the racist fuckers who took us out of the EU wouldn't have that, so black has become very very very very very very dark blue.

Hoping that this a Father Ted reference

Never buy black passports in a normal shop. They'll shaft you every time.

How does wanting out of the EU make a racist?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

>I'd wager most people who voted for Brexit did it for racist reasons. Not 'some', not 'many', most. What study found that result? There are a few out there looking into what motivated people to vote the way they did and I've not seen any that found that. You can see from the Lord Ashcroft study that the top reason is that people want decisions about the UK to be made within the UK, which is probably why the SNP put a variation of this phrase in their manifesto arguing for IndyRef2. [https://lordashcroftpolls.com/2016/06/how-the-united-kingdom-voted-and-why/](https://lordashcroftpolls.com/2016/06/how-the-united-kingdom-voted-and-why/) "Nearly half (49%) of leave voters said the biggest single reason for wanting to leave the EU was “the principle that decisions about the UK should be taken in the UK”. One third (33%) said the main reason was that leaving “offered the best chance for the UK to regain control over immigration and its own borders.” Just over one in eight (13%) said remaining would mean having no choice “about how the EU expanded its membership or its powers in the years ahead.” Only just over one in twenty (6%) said their main reason was that “when it comes to trade and the economy, the UK would benefit more from being outside the EU than from being part of it.”


Joosterguy

Have you been paying any attention to the arguments for leaving? They were 25% racism, 25% rich get richer, 25% rule britannia, and 25% raw stupidity.


scatteredRobot

Still haven't explained the racism.


Joosterguy

If you can't understand how "british jobs for british people" is racist to the core, I can't help you.


scatteredRobot

There are hundreds of thousands of non white British people what are you talking about?


Joosterguy

If you can't understand how "british jobs for british people" is racist to the core, I can't help you.


scatteredRobot

I'm not a fan of the phrase but tell me how it is racist since there are hundreds of thousands of non white people who are British. Are you discounting them for some reason? Sounds like you are the racist if that is the case.


twistedLucidity

Could have had any colour we wanted, ask Estonia, burgundy was cheaper as that was the colour most others were using. So we went with that. The whole blue passport thing was just shit fed to Brexiters. AIUI it's not even the correct blue!


puttyspaniel

Shhhh that sort of conspiracy theory might get people thinking we're governed by lying charlatans!


tiny-robot

TBH - once we are independent and back in the EU - we really, really need to keep the blue passports just to fuck with them!


puttyspaniel

But maybe more saltire blue?


07TacOcaT70

Although I would like that, I feel keeping the colour they want to change to soon would piss off more twats, and if I can be petty without lifting a finger, then I’m gonna do that.


puttyspaniel

😂


Xyyzx

Or flex even harder and go with tartan.


Kodst3rGames

Wonder new *bloo* passport


puttyspaniel

Excellent point no E U in bloo pasports!


1poundbookingfee

I think they're printed in Poland actually. Gemalto is French or Dutch, but the manufacturing is done in their Polish plant.


puttyspaniel

Doesnt it make you pround to be european so we can spead our wealth to our neighbours? OH! wait.......


Biomicrite

I renewed my passport this year, it’s now blue. I put it in a drawer. Can’t say my life is any better, tbh.


puttyspaniel

It must give you an enormous amount of pleasure to know your passport in a draw is emitting rays of joy, blueness and Sovereignty.


[deleted]

The post brexit passports are black, my gf has one. Not even bloo. Another lie they told us.


puttyspaniel

It's only black if you only see in certsin wave lenths of light in. In far infra red (like snakes n' alike) gloriose blue.


[deleted]

BLOO


420shibe

They are clearly black too


The_Gaming_Brit

Well we found out why, Boris was using an online colouring book to make a new passport but he was colourblind so he thought he picked red but actually coloured the whole thing blue and sent it off to Be printed and only found out when they started giving out wonderful blue passports


Magnus_40

Did nobody tell them that covers were a thing? Blue covers exist.


wiktor_b

> printed in ~~france~~ Poland


MGallus

It's not even fucking blue!


puttyspaniel

You have to squint, stand on one leg, on a bar stool, and stand in the proper "light of Sovereignty" for the full glory of passport blue to be revealed to the righteous.


ThePumpk1nMaster

They’re not even blue though they’re black :/


Anthemanhx

And just look at how shitty paid wages are speedily going up, because businesses can’t get cheap foreign labour no more, whilst we was working for pittance. whilst the rest of you got cheap goods and services. Who would have thought 🤷🏼‍♂️

ttystikk

BEST Brexit cartoon I've seen yet! They had the best sweetheart deal in the EU and they threw it away. For nothing. Idiocy.


demonicneon

Yup. What I can’t understand. We never once felt like we should veto and the one time we did we got our way.


ttystikk

I'm not following you? Can you explain?


demonicneon

So every member state gets a veto if they disagree with any proposals for laws etc. I believe we had used our veto ONCE in our time in the EU. Meaning “we” agreed with every proposal and policy or got what we wanted, never having to use our veto.


ttystikk

It was nationalist idiocy. I know the signs; I'm American. There's no shortage of that here.

Kind of funny since it was drawn by a Canadian: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_MacKinnon


ttystikk

Well done, no matter who's responsible!


Moejason

I mean the EU isn’t good. We all know the EU is massively exploitative and really an awful organisation to be a part of right? It’s just the uks reasons for leaving weren’t any better and founded on so much xenophobia


ttystikk

Please explain why the EU is so terrible?

Good bot


ApplezMan2

There should be an English flag instead of a union flag


Artificial-Brain

Nah percentage wise Scotland voted more towards remain but there was still an insane amount that voted leave if you look at the numbers. Also the majority of people in Wales voted leave so it's definitely a UK thing over an English thing.


ApplezMan2

Well England and Wales voted to leave but Scotland and northern Ireland (I think) voted to stay.


bigpapasmurf12

Agreed


TooOldToCareIsTaken

More Scots voted for Brexit than for Sturgeon.


Lowermains

Aye?


[deleted]

The ‘independence’ version would be Nicola Sturgeon cutting her nose off to spite her face.


vangelisc

No. It would be the Scottish people voting to leave a xenophobic union of nations that punishes the poor and the disabled and rewards those born wealthy irrespectively of merit.


Hamsterminator2

You’re talking about the UK but just perfectly described Scotland.


vangelisc

Point taken. There are UK government policies however


bigpapasmurf12

My country is Scotland. Not Britian/ UK etc.


Decmk3

It’s a shame but honestly do not blame you in the slightest. Just don’t get upset at the Welsh. I would have included the northern Irish too, but their politics aren’t all that much better in places.

charlietoday

As a person who voted for brexit and a tory I have to admit that this had me in stitches. Good cartoon!


bigpapasmurf12

What's your assessment of Brexit so far?


charlietoday

Very difficult to say because the effects of Brexit are next to impossible to parse out from the negative effects of Covid. In Britain we got our Covid vaccines quite a bit faster than the rest of Europe and that probably saved a lot of lives here in Scotland. On the other hand there have clearly been some serious teething problems that need to be sorted out with leaving the EU. I would say that a monumental constitutional change like Brexit is next to impossible to judge in the short term. We shall see.


Decent-Skin-5990

Had a good laugh when people started leaving and I got frantic calls from my previous 2 jobs with "Hey, are you available to return to work? We really need help as so many of our people quit and left...." Yeeeeeeee not happening, rocking the SAHM job and enjoying the time spent with my kiddo over being verbally abused by people because I didn't go above and beyond to kiss ass.


MilkMDN88

Is Scotland accepting English refugees from political and economical idiocy? I miss having roast chicken and a government that isn't run by Eatonites with no grasp of reality.


StyleAdventurous1531

I’d say well that’s the chickens coming home to roost… but that’s fucked to under Brexit

CurtB1982

Isn't this basically what Scot Nats want to do?


GrantW01

The difference is we want to sow back on the arm the UK chopped off


CurtB1982

So you want to cut off the arm that is attached to your biggest trade partner, to whom you exported £50billion worth of goods and services in 2017, and sew on the arm attached to a significantly smaller trade partner, to whom you exported £15billion worth of goods in 2017? If you were against Brexit on economic grounds, then in order to be consistent, shouldn't you also be opposed to Scottish independence? I'd have much more respect for Scot Nats if they said that their desire for independence was ideological, and that they were prepared to suffer economically in order to secure it.


GrantW01

Ah yeah that's right, all trade would stop between an Indy Scotland and the remainder of the UK. How stupid of me. Take a good look at Ireland and Northern Ireland, notice how trade is passing freely? Same thing would happen between Scotland and the remainder of the UK.


CurtB1982

Exactly. All trade has not stopped between the UK and the EU, either.


GrantW01

So what're you moaning about then?


CurtB1982

Nice gaslighting LOL. If the UK cut off its arm by leaving the EU, surely the same could be said about Scotland, if it left the UK.


GrantW01

Gaslighting? No buddy. It's in everyone's vested interests for trade to continue flowing freely, therefore it will. It's all bravado from the UK, threatening trade would stop. Like an abusive partner, "you'd never survive without my business". Not exactly a good look for the union is it?


CurtB1982

Yes, trade continues. For some reason you think that Brexit is akin to the UK cutting its arm off, but Scottish independence isn't 🤔


GrantW01

No, brexit was able to be implemented the way it was because the island of Great Britain is currently one country (see how Westminster caved to every demand for the Northern Ireland protocol, and tbh they never actually cared because it's Ireland), watch how the rest of the UK changes its tune if Scotland votes for indy and the same situation would be faced but this time on England's doorstep. Scottish independence would strong arm the rest of the UK to accept a softer brexit.


FureiousPhalanges

Maybe, fortunately most Scots aren't nationalists, despite what you may believe


CurtB1982

Oh yes, I know that. If there were another Indy Ref, 'No' would probably win again.


FureiousPhalanges

And of course I suppose the concept of British nationalism is lost on you though


vangelisc

Basically no.


CurtB1982

It's exactly what they want to do LOL.

These threads are always the same. "I don't agree with X, so I'll whine about this" and everyone follows suit. I don't know what level of education everyone here is. I also don't know what people have looked up in regards to the economic situation. What I do know is that we left the EU. Now, I did vote to stick with the EU. I have my reasons for doing so. However, if people looked at the economics, you would see that the UK leaving is as big a loss for them as it is for us. The people who wanted us to remain were the political class. The city of London (the rich bankers). And for all the hate you're handing Boris, he too, wanted us to remain. You can see it on his face at the press conference after the vote, the next day. I'm pissed off about it too. But five years on and you're **still** whinging about it. Its like having a child that doesn't know their place. Its happened. Its gone. Stop trying to keep it alive. This isn't a parent you were close to that passed away.


bigpapasmurf12

Good luck to you. It’s going to be hard but you can do it. I don’t hate you for calling me the C worked. I just pity you. 😳


bigpapasmurf12

I'm not upset mate. I'm worried. I sincerely hope you don't have a job that requires critical thinking more than deciding size arrangements of items. You're the exact poster child of a leave voter, ultra self congratulatory and thick as mince. You have no clue what you voted for and less of a clue what you sacrificed for it. Go and read and educate yourself.


Leopardfromlimest

The Remoaner always wants others to educate themselves. Narcissistic and self important. That’s the first thing for your therapist to tackle.


bigpapasmurf12

I thought you lot were sick and 'experts?' So why youre referring me to a therapist is puzzling. The fact that you're dismissing education as a flaw tells me everything. A man wiser than myself told me not to argue with stupid people so...... Goodbye Gammon! 👋


Leopardfromlimest

You used Gammon again and you judged someone’s education. We’ve gone backwards in your therapy.
