British migrants getting deported from Spain?

(1/4) > >>

Serious:
Not new laws as some papers claim. they are old ones that the UK government were a major part of writing. The UK government knew about them.

But they are expats, not migrants? They mean the same thing.

I have no sympathy for them, they should have done their due diligence.

Brexit overall is just a crazy thing.


1. I never thought the government did enough to make it clear to people the full impacts of what it would mean
2. People were just down right dumb and did indeed not fully understand the impacts. Read stories of people campaigning on the streets for it, now out of a job, or having issues with family or a second home or business in the EU that now is f'ed and so on.
3. Government pressed forward and when it was clear people voted for something they did not know what they were voting for did not look to check on that. I bet a second vote would have had a very different result.


This is another case of the impacts people just did think about. There are a lot of people in France, Spain and like with small restaurants and like at common British holiday locations in those countries that if are not gone under due to COVID will be impacted as well as the people living there.


Many goods will also go up in price and while France and England are supposedly doing deals in terms of travel with the channel tunnel and ferries those booze trips for many Birts will not be the same.

Some of those images are pretty haunting if you've seen threads.

They took advice from charlatans and people who give second hand car salesmen bad names. That would be mostly the Tory MPs now in power along with Russian agents and the likes of Nigel Farage. TBH only reason I voted remain was because it was Boris advising leaving. There really wasn't that much information out there, just right wing headlines and lies. Even the BBC was biased giving leavers massive publicity while ignoring remain and not fact checking. Labour was less use than a wet paper bag simply because they had Brexiteer Corbyn (who I will never forgive) as leader.

Latest is the issue of UK/French driving licences. That could affect up to 250,000 British migrants in France who were told not to switch passports, seems they now have to and for many it might be too late.

Turns out that while Boris's supposed deal isn't the worst possible outcome it isn't that far short for Britain. Then covid is covering up at least some of the Brexit effect. I am fairly sure that most of the Brexiteers would have been far happier with a very narrow win for remain than this mess.
