Daily Mail petition to have passports made in UK

Oh I give up .... it’s almost becoming laughable now.

Has anyone asked themselves HOW they came out so much cheaper ?

No gillybob because the main focus seems to be that the petition was started by the DM and is therefore automatically to be discredited.

maybe the reason the foreign company is cheapest because they don’t pay all the fat cat bosses huge salaries and bonuses who knows, I don’t , but it maybe useful if we had all the information before we make assumptions based on guesswork. If the Guardian had started a petition for the railways to be renationalised I wonder if DM readers would be signing up as a patriotic duty. Hmm don’t think so.

I will say this again; I don't care what colour my passport is. I don't want to leave the EU, I don't want to spend hours in the aliens queue at the airport. I don't give a flying fig who prints the passports. I am sick of the hysteria and hypocrisy.

Exactly chewwy .

What a load of tosh gerrispringer . Maybe they are doing the work for no profit at all. Maybe they are having a huge laugh at our expense. Maybe they will hold us to random in the future, maybe they are being subsidised by their government (ooops I don’t think that’s a maybe anymore) maybe they can’t do it for the price quoted, maybe they’re outsourcing to Poland, maybe..........

Aahhh the patriotic DM - remind me again where its owners live and how much they pay in UK taxes.

GillT57 well tough we are leaving the EU whether you want to or not.

Gillybob I care and agree with what you are saying. We will probably hear more about this next week.
Yes Chewbacca wood and trees, pathetic isn't it, also all the Daily Mail haters it's funny though even though they claim they don't read it they seem obsessed with it. Of course the Daily Mirror being a Labour rag is never criticised.

Typical DM readers. I read that if the British firm won they were going to be printed in Malta anyway - so much for British workers! I would like to pay as little as possible for my passport - and for it to allow me into EU countries without queuing. The Daily Mail really are the end!

Nearly 100,000 now have signed in just 1 day, the power of the Daily Mail ?

No response to my point then? The DM is a foul right wing rag that objectifies women, is racist and homophobic whose editor is a friend of TM and it wields disproportionate influence in our society. The Daily Mirror is none of those rhings. I’m concerned ( not obsessed) with the Mail because of its influence

Blen is that really true about Malta?

I’ve had a quick on line search of some of the newspapers on the GN approved list (not sure if the Evening Chronicle has made it onto the list yet but it is the local paper so it deserved a look) and can’t find any mention of Malta, mind you no petitions either.

Aaaah and there we have it ....”who’s editor is a friend of TM”

" The DM is a foul right wing rag that objectifies women, is racist and homophobic whose editor is a friend of TM and it wields disproportionate influence in our society"

It is also the paper which sells the most copies in the UK. The figures I have found for print editions are Daily Mail 10,636,000 Guardian 3,653,000.

Thank you for your charming comment ninny. Such understanding of opposing opinion

Would the petition have carried more gravitas and respect if it had been done in the Guardian or the I?

The guardian would never have considered starting anything so ridiculously jingoistic, so it's a bit of a pointless question really, chewie

100,000 people, and counting, might disagree.

Let's not forget it was the campaign by the Daily Mail that got the killers of Stephen Lawrence put in prison, not the Guardian.

The SL campaign is not a get out of jail card for the DM forever - name one other socially worthy thing it has done

Selling a lot of copies says a great deal about how many dreadful people tgere are who are prepared to read its bile. A lot of people voted for Trump

Oh my mistake, if someone disagrees with your opinion or chooses to read newspapers giving differing views (which I do - DM, Guardian, Times and I amongst others) they are all dreadful people!

A lot of Holier- than-thou on GN.

Reminds of the 2 Ronnie's sketch

Let's not forget it was the campaign by the Daily Mail that got the killers of Stephen Lawrence put in prison, not the Guardian.

Words fail me!

So where those bloody blue passports are printed is equally as important as bringing the killers of Stephen Lawrence to justice?

Anyway, in those days the DM was halfway to being a decent newspaper; not the lying, anti-democratic, jingoistic mouthpiece of a non-resident billionaire
