Want to bet?? Tried getting on an internal flight without a passport??

Yes, but those of us who haven't moved in the last several years don't have one of those - and some of us are trying to avoid getting one.

Well, if you didn't have, or couldn't get a passport but you wanted to travel you'd get one, wouldn't you ?
Anyway, why on earth would anyone actively try to avoid having a driving license with a photo on it ?

Yes, you can actually board an internal flight with photo ID such as a driving licence or Armed Forces ID card...Does vary from airline to airline I think, but it is possible. Last time I flew MAN-ABZ-MAN I wasnt asked for my passport at any point.

Because the scum will probably get hold of the weapon, then you have a far bigger problem on your hands.
It's depressing seeing the flotsam and jetsam we inflict on our neighbours by handing out passports like confetti. Proof of misbehaviour abroad, or even violent criminal activity in the Uk should bar one from getting a passport. It would seem Governments are quivering in their boots at any risk of accusation of restricting travel by certain people. But when these Brits go abroad and do not act sensibly of respectfully in a foreign country, and get arrested, their passport should become null and void. Often, one is abroad and keeps very, very quiet lest one becomes known as one of the English 'Beer Monsters'!

Try a violent dislike of anything with the EU's or Council of Europe's grandiose symbol on it. And, no, it's nothing to do with my monniker!

I wonder if any of the crew come on here. Maybe they can pass on more details of the process of removing him etc (If their allowed!). I don't think his passport should be removed. Just his right to fly anywhere, the skies would be a much nicer place without people like him. What an idiot.

Leave him his passport. Introduce a blacklist for worldwide distribution to all air carriers and include his name. I'm sure he'll love the boat and train trip to his Turkish holiday home!

The twelve star symbol represents unity and perfection (though it's difficult to say this with a straightface when applying it to the EU) ...
So it's a bit rich for someone from Strasbourg whose boasts that their personal title is "Riding the Euro Gravy Plane" to start getting smart about the raison d'etre for the number of stars on the EU symbol - presumably with a straight face. Hypocrisy or what!
So thanks for the sermon SXB, and for so nicely confirming my views about the EU, and the Council of Europe since they are apparently so powerless that they can't stick up for their soi-disant monopoly...

PS But I will amend my previous post!

Dear Union Jack
I bet you enjoy reading your copy of the Daily Mail and gasping at the latest news about Brussels.
You obviously don't have the wit to detect the wry humour and irony in SXB's post, which is not a sermon but informative.
PS: I bet you are a staunch defender of the 'British' pound, even though it was invented by the French

My comments simply corrected your error ridden post. I notice that you've now edited the original posting to reflect my correction, to be honest I was expecting some thanks but, perversely, you decided to make sweeping generalisations about my hard working colleagues in the EC and CoE. Fine chaps, all of them. In fact I saw some of them in our local Mercedes dealer this morning, most of them were mortified by your comments about our fine European Institutions, obviously we'll discuss it further during our three hour lunch break tomorrow, only briefly of course because we need to choose the colours of our new cars first. After that we need to invent some new legislation just to annoy the Brits, though it will have to wait until Monday as we don't work on Friday afternoons of course.....
