If the ‘British passport’ makes it on to that list they should lose their right to vote.

Fullerene Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 If only David Cameron had been able to reach a compromise on incandescent light bulbs, we might have been able to avoid this Brexit thing altogether. Missed opportunity, I guess. Sigh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I'll never understand the obsession with blue passport covers and the really trivial aspects of leaving the EU from the majority of Leave voters.

Old people are loathsome. I think you'd need to be older than that. The death penalty was abolished in 1965, I doubt a 5 year old would remember much about it, I'd reckon you'd need to have been born in 1955 to realise there was such a thing, so you'd need to be 62. And I find that survey absolutely ludicrous - who would want to bring back lsd instead of the decimal coinage? Or pounds and ounces? I don't remember dark blue passports and I'm 65, the only colour I remember is the current one. And what are incandescent light bulbs? If I knew what they were, I might be in favour of them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
