   Roses are red,
   Your passport is blue.
   Now stand over there,
   In that very long queue.

     @joshourisman @alanferrier @callunavulgaris I guess we'll get to meet those Americans in the long queue/line now.

     @alanferrier @callunavulgaris I don’t care that this will probably confuse my (majority American) followers, this is too good not to retoot.

     Context: One of the sillier parts of the Leave campaign before Brexit was that people would no longer have to use the red EU standard passport and could now go back to proudly using the blue UK passport.

     Of course, that means their passport now needs to be checked in the non-citizen queue when entering the EU.

     @clacke
     Extra context: EU never mandated the color on members passports. GB could have changed it any time they wanted.

     @ianp5a @alanferrier @callunavulgaris the amount of time I’ve wasted in that queue, envying those EU passports…
