Passports will ignore Queen, and will be for "European Citizens"

EU Constitution Article to replace reference to Queen in passports.

The News of the World and several other papers report that references to the Queen could be taken out of British passports and replaced with a reference taken from Article 20 of the EU Constitution to European citizenship. The new passports could be in place as soon as 2010. The new wording would explain that EU citizens can be protected by the embassy of any member state in a country where their own country is not represented. A Brussels insider was quoted in the News of the World saying, “Any UK national travelling abroad might experience some delay if they need immediate help – because staff may be out assisting Latvians or Estonians, for example. But try finding one of their embassies in a hurry.”

Re: Passports will ignore Queen, and will be for "European Citizens"

An there lies another reason to add to the list of why I don't want a passport.

I object to the fee, the biometric stuff and I also thought that 'we' (ie Europe) had no borders these days and we were supposed to be able to travel freely.

Now I can add to this....... I am flippin English, I am British only at a pinch, but I am NOT Eurupean, where does it all stop? When we are Earthlings?

I am sick of people trying to destroy my heritage.
