How strange! Surely the more comprehensive the passport coverage, the better? Ideally I'd like a World Passport with no necessity for visas anywhere.

Cool man.

Like totally. And maybe we can stop eating meat too right?

Animals have feelings too and we shouldn't eat the sensitive vegetables either.

I am the last of the generation who used all these measures. It got worse as there is a difference between an Irish Mile and the British mile, and agricultural land is RENTED by the con acre and SOLD by the British Statute Acre.
Then I started off with CGS units learning such concepts as ergs, and grains, calories ,then moving over to MKS, and now SI!. Doing my head in.!!

Surely one of the worst non sequiturs to ever appear in this thread.

What on earth have animal rights or meat eating to do with passports?

And economic and other consequences are analysed and published.
Sajid Javid was responding to a letter from Commons Treasury Committee interim chairwoman Catherine McKinnell which asked whether the Treasury has updated economic analysis of Brexit.

Following Mr Javid's letter, Ms McKinnell said: "The chancellor has acknowledged that the government’s previous economic analysis of a free trade agreement does not correspond to the agreement that the government will now be seeking.

"The government, therefore, appears content that MPs be expected to vote blindly on its new deal.

"The dearth of relevant economic analysis on which MPs can decide how to vote is deeply concerning."
