Guardian published some sort of stories and why British pensions has to come back from Spain. Looks ugly to me.

Well I'm noticing price increases across many of the brands in the supermarket, thats nice to deal with.
I'll be going away next month and no doubt I'll be losing out on the exchange rate.

this seems to be a continuation of a foul plot by supermarkets to put up the price of food over time. i can remember when you could get a packet of pasta for 30p, now it's more than double that in many supermarkets, and this underhand practice seems to have started long before brexit was a glint in anyone's eye. it's as though the supermarkets have been working on this for a long long time.

It's like they're pumping air or something into the prices to make them bigger. I wonder if this phenomenon has a name?

i just got delivery of my new british passport. It has this ye olde maritime themed drawing on the inside front cover. WTF is that about?
I know the silly words about how the Queen requires I be protected where'er I may roam has always been there but the drawing stinks of our great nation's bygone days of ruling the waves. Is this a post-brexit passport ?

I'm rather disappointed that the writing isn't imposed on an illustration of two crossed dead Frenchmen on a mound of dead Frenchmen.

When I renewed my photocard driving licence a couple of years ago, it came with the European flag printed on the back. When my Mother had to update hers last winter(pre-Brexit), it came with the Union Jack(butchers' apron) on it.

Why wouldn't it? We're still in the EUmy new passport has patriotic pictures all the way through, a different one on each page.
But it still says European Union on the front cover.

You're right. We're still in it for a bit.
The passport will last till 2027, maybe it will be a historic reminder of an entity that once existed by then.

Do you mean the UK or the possibility of foreign travel?

Not sure it'll last until 2027, the Brexiters-in-chief are practically wetting themselves in excitement over the prospect of being able to restore blue passports, wouldn't surprise me if they tried to phase out all the EU ones by 2020.

oh.
Fellow Tory Andrew Rosindell said: “It’s a matter of identity.
“Having the pink European passports has been a humiliation.
“I totally back The Sun’s campaign.".
I'm not going through that again, all the fun of going through security at the airport with nothing on the other side but a massively overpriced little book with drawings of the queen in.

Though I guess the question of whether British EU passports will be valid EU passports after 2019 is for the EU to decide, not Britain, I'll probably end up joining a mad rush to renew mine within months of the deadline in case Brussels decides to be cool about it and let them stay valid until they expire.

It's a little wider than that; if your not-born-in-Ireland parent had already claimed citizenship before you were born it can go back to great-grandparent level.

Embrace the confusion!
It's been a while since I was politically active and longer since I was did more edgy arrestable stuff.
The last time I would have been prepared to go to prison for anti-government activities was when Labour wanted to foist the ID card / database state on us. I generally know how to avoid arrest and what to do if I am. None this is about trying to look "hard" or edgy. Nor is it reckless.
I'm out of juice and focus for a bunch of reasons, but I am being very public that if this or future governments try to deport any of my European friends, colleagues or comrades they will have to get through me first.
There will be 100,000s like me. We will use non violent direct action, civil disobedience and the law at every opportunity. We will turn any such aspirations into an absolute quagmire.
It could well be that it doesn't happen, but monoculturalist authoritarianism is having a good time at the moment so we need to have this kind of thing in mind.
