This is my experience of British immigrants in Spain who voted for #Brexit. People with no capacity for critical thinking. They voted for Brexit "because of the immigrants". Now they themselves lost their EU privileges, duh!

They were told both lies AND the truth & they chose the lies. Because they're idiots.

On the plus side EU has become an even nicer place to be because it's now less likely that you'll hear people like Greg from Winchester sounding off about the immigrants in UK.

@marcusjenkins and I don't know about Italy, but in Spain they had plenty of time to get permanent visas. And yet some are complaining, they are being deported because they didn't get it.

@fuegon Yeah, don’t get me started on this one. Pre #Brexit there were LOADS of Brits living in Spain with zero, I mean ZERO regard to Spanish laws and procedures. Despite being in Spain for years & years

Driving around in cars with UK plates
Not registering as resident nor on the census list
Not doing Spanish tax returns
Not learning even a word of Spanish
Driving on UK driving licenses
Using EHIC (emergency)health card for chronic complaints

Etc., etc., etc.
