\"LeaveThere\u2019s a story on the BBC website at the moment which deals with the fact that the Passport Office<\/a> has started issuing passports without \u201cEuropean Union\u201d on them. It seems that they\u2019re using up old stock, so some passports do<\/strong> have it, whereas some don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

An ardent Brexiter, Peter Brady (and his wife), are a little put out by the fact that his is the new style, whereas she got the old one. You can look at the link yourself – it\u2019s probably best I don\u2019t use the photo on there because it appears to have been taken by Brady himself, and would no doubt bring deluges of copyright issues if he saw it on here.<\/p>\n

Brady says that he feels like he has got his identity back.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s just clarify this. This guy has updated his passport, and received one which instead of saying:<\/p>\n

\n

European Union<\/p>\n

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now says:<\/p>\n

\n

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And this means he has \u201cgot his identity back\u201d? I think Brady\u2019s \u201cidentity\u201d is absolutely clear to most of us if this makes him wet his pants so easily. It was his kind that got us into the mess we\u2019re in right now, and his kind that is preventing the government from making the clear best choice sitting right in front of us. He is simply incapable of understanding what he has done to this country.<\/p>\n

I updated my passport several months ago specifically so I could have a burgundy one with \u201cEuropean Union\u201d on it for the next ten years.<\/p>\n

People like<\/strong> Brady are the voice of Brexit. Clueless, xenophobic fossils. If you really want a picture, the stock image at the top of this article shows Brexit\u2019s true face. That<\/strong> is the face – assuming it is still part of this mortal world – that has damaged the lives of generations to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
