Daily Mail petition to have passports made in UK

which I do - DM, Guardian, Times and I amongst others

Another Gnet Superwoman self identifies! Along with the 'completely uninfluenced by any other views at all' brigade we have the multiple newspaper readers...

Where on earth do you find the time to read 4+ newspapers every day?

Maizie I make time - I don't read them cover to cover, I choose which news items I am interested in and then try to get to the truth by reading the views of different newspapers - it's easy really.

I had to look up the word “ jingoistic” as I’ve never come across it before .

'jingoism'

Displayed in all its glory on this thread

These fancy clever words are wasted on me .

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Anything remotely ‘clever’ is wasted on Daily Mail readers.

I figured someone would say that !

It was only matter of time .

Your not alone. Kier Starmer has come out and said the passports should be printed in the uk

Just as long as he didn’t give an interview for the Daily Mail Petra his comments should be allowed by the self appointed GN press authority .

It could have been worse, he could have given an interview with the Express

I was just listening to yesterday's Any Questions and Vince Cable said that the new passports would be printed in England, even though the company is not British owned. They just wouldn't be printed in Gateshead. Did any one else hear this? Is he correct?

petra I wonder if Keir Starmer signed the Daily Mail petition ? ? ?

What I have observed on GN is that a lot of posters who claim they do not read the Daily Mail seem very bitter, its only a newspaper for heavens sake.

And so knowledgeable of its contents too ninny

It doesn’t sound right to me Ilovecheese I definitely haven’t hear anything like that .

ninny
It's because they believe we had no view other than the Daily Mails view on how to vote (any vote)
I can assure them that if there were no such thing as the internet/ newspapers/ tv/ radio my vote would have been the same.
I didn't even want the tunnel to be built

Nor me re the tunnel * Petra*
I preferred the idea of a bridge across from Northern Ireland.
Apparently only 12 Miles between Scotland and Ireland at one point. It seems to work ok for Denmark and Sweden.

Just waiting to read how wrong I am.

Nearly 137,000 and counting

I can't remember where I read it maryeliza54 but it is a huge firm- however if they did win the contract because of a petition, which I think highly unlikely, I don't think they would dare not use British workers!

Not many ninny - the petition calling for a second referendum got well over 4million, got debated in Parliament and rejected.

20% British passports already printed abroad. Is there a petition about that? The plastic cover and the pages will be made by Gemalto, the secure data will be added in the U.K. not sure if this is worth all the nationalistic DM inspired fury. Plenty of other issues to get cross about.

Nearly 270,000 now and counting. Home Office has extended appeal for another 2 weeks.

In so many ways, you really have to be joking.

Did I read somewhere that De la Rue had a problem with their pension fund and could be trying to rectify that with the high price quoted for blue passports

Isn’t that (more than) a bit intrusive and frankly NOYB?
Getting a balanced view of current affairs from a range of media seems entirely sensible. How anybody spends their time is entirely their business and judging by the number of posts on GN by some people, many have time to spend on whatever they want.
