      With a population greater than New Zealand or the Republic of Ireland, Yorkshire is already bigger than many nations. God's Own Country has its own flag, language (well, almost), food, costume and anthem, so it's only right it also has a passport. Since the first edition of this passport was published the calls for Yorkshire independence have only grown stronger, with debates in Parliament and newspapers discussing the possibility of 'Yexit'. Then came the news that the UK's official passports would be turning blue - the colour of the Yorkshire flag. So this edition is brought to you in proud Yorkshire Blue, complete with all new content. From how to insult a Yorkshireman to how to take your tea, everything you need to become a true Tyke is here. This is your passport to Yorkshire.
