All indications are that no, I will not, but I presume that the ability for UK passport holders to continue to have EU labelled ones after Brexit will not be a bone of contention. I don't think people in countries joining the EU have to immediately switch passports so it's likely that the same is true for those leaving the EU.

Yes but you must bear in mind that mandating that would be a pointless waate of resources thst would cost individuals money for no tangible benefit... so given the current governmental philosophy, it's probably a dead cert.
The Lords are dragging their feet over Brexit - clearly they haven't got the message that it's all going to be great regardless:

Yeah when the leave campaign promised trading terms with the EU as good as or better than those existing this was clearly for some definition of 'good' and 'better' the rest of us are unfamiliar with.

Brexit has confirmed my opinion the "government by referendum" is not a good idea,and that at times you need to save the people from themselves.

Was it "the people" who had the idea for a referendum for Brexit and pushed it through?

It seems that the press has cottoned on that the landing cards should have been offered to the National Archives first...
The Times: Windrush landing card destruction angers historian [paywalled]
"The Home Office may have broken the law by destroying landing cards for passengers of the Windrush generation, a former adviser to the National Archives has said.
Bendor Grosvenor, an art historian and broadcaster who served as an official advisor to the National Archives for seven years, said that items of potentially historic importance were meant to be considered by the Archives’ Advisory Council on Public Records before destruction. While the Home Office was responsible for deciding whether to destroy records or archive them in Kew, southwest London, he said it should have sought advice from the panel."

Xenophobia is though.
And of course the woman in no small part responsible for this debacle is currently PM and in charge of Brexit.

No, I posted in the wrong thread.
Yes how dare CEOs and other business leaders complain about politicians messing up their companies finances and profit margins!
If they mess up Brexit we'll mess up their face!

Because democratically to ignore the will of seventeen and a half million people would destroy faith in the democratic system for generations, and not only that, faith in the mainstream parties. It would open up a can of worms.
I prefer the likes of the BNP to be in the wilderness personally. Preferably bankrupt and unable to do any damage at all. But to turn around and try to wreck what the people have voted for, would be authoritarian, dangerous and anti democratic and could be a gateway to evil.
I don't want the BNP or anyone like them to get so much as one MP, but were Brexit to be abandoned, anything is possible.

The most xenophobic thing of all is to have a system of economic immigration based on a person's nationality, rather than their personality and their CV.
Exactly. The EU is incredibly xenophobic. They allow free movement between member countries (overwhelmingly white and either Christian or non-religious) but impose strict restrictions on immigration from other countries that are not in the EU - and, of course, most of those other countries would never be allowed to join the EU, even if they wanted to.
