I think I could name them all, though I might stumble a little over some of the more obscure eastern European ones.
I’ll make a start. Russia isn’t one of them.
It should be.
why should it?
He’s been waiting ten hours for someone to ask him that. 
Don’t know how long we’ll have to wait for the answer, but if I know Todger, it won’t be disappointing.
Hm, I am afraid that you mean “disappointing” in a different way than I do.
I could imagine an answer that contains “EUSSR” or similar.
Because our emerging enemy is also Russia’s enemy and has been for many decades.
@ The Artful Todger , The trouble with russia is that if you travel east from
Russia you come to AMERICA !!!
And if you travel west from Russia, where do you come to?? yeees, of
course! AMERICA. !!!
They are bloody surrounded !!!
No wonder they are paranoid ??
Donkeyman!

You don’t need guns & bullets, just keep spreading the words.

Something I learned from GBNews this morning:
If you are a British Citizen flying into the EU then you must present yourself at the passport desks for non-EU Citizens. However, if you are an EU Citizen flying into the UK, you are allowed to use the UK passport desks. How did that happen? It seems to me that the EU have us over a barrel AGAIN.
I daresay the EU will have us over many barrels for the foreseeable future, but are you sure this particular case isn’t completely our own choice?
Because we are stupid.
The EU have us over a barrel because of our weak, pro-EU politicians who bow and scrape to everything Brussels demands.
Of course, we still have a pro-EU PM, don’t we? 
This is how it will always be. Those who believed in Brexit will never be able to acknowledge that it simply will not deliver what they hoped for, and that it was never going to. It will always be the fault of those administering the process, and never the inevitable result of their mistake.

Mr M got his new passport this week . It only took three weeks .
It’s not blue it’s black why couldn’t they even get that right .
For those interested in economics:
Don’t matter as long as the barrels keep rolling out.

I can well believe it.
The reason, I think, is that the EU have been relying on our money (as their cash cow) for many decades now. Even though we are still partially under their control, I believe that we are still making a go of Brexit… contrary to the wishes of the remoaners.
After Boris is gone (and hopefully buried), and assuming we have a PM who respects the wishes of the majority of voting Brits, I can only see our fortunes increasing further.
We should certainly begin fighting for ourselves for once. If the EU demands things of us, we do the same to them - in spades.
I am quite sure that if the EU continue to try to make life difficult for us, we should repay them in kind. If they don’t want to buy our products or services, then we refuse to buy theirs. I can’t see why we can’t choose to buy from the rest of the world, many of those countries must be desperate to sell to us… in competition with the EU.
I can foresee changes if and when the EU finally collapses, which I could well understand. After all, France and Germany effectively run the show and, worse, some countries like Greece for example are in hock to them. It may pay the smaller countries to remain under the thumb as long as they are being supported financially, but the EU is likely to run out of money (thanks to our leaving) and hand-outs may become scarce.

Donkeyman! 
Does it really matter? When I was last in Europe I found going to to the Non-EU desk was a big advantage, for example when I flew to Sweden a Yank girl and I had the non EU line to ourself and an Immigration Officer each whereas the rest of the plane (including my brother) was jammed into the EU line.
My neice waited 15 weeks for her Aussie passport to be renewed, the whole system has been overwhelmed. I don’t think she cared what colour it was.
The colour of a passport seems a very trivial concern, actually like remote controls they should be fluorescent orange so you can find the damn thing…
