I have Brit friends here in L.A. They always bragged they will be using the old classic blue passport that the Brits had before the EU debacle. No more star circle crap LOL

No surprise Rueters had no pics.Too many Union Jacks in the crowd. Pride on one's country is "right-wing, racist nationalism," not to be tolerated by the ever-so-tolerant globalists.
Free at last, free at last, our beloved cousins are free at last!
God save the Queen!

I saw some of those St George flags. Googled it too, but didn’t find out much. What’s the significance?

It’s the flag of England. England football (soccer) fans wave it constantly, since there are separate national teams for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

But in Britain the St. George flag is the British version of The Confederate Flag, or it least lefties consider it as such.

I saw some reference that it was related to the Crusades. Is that why it’s a version of the Confederate Flag?
