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.

When it's about them living abroad they're "expats". When it's other nationalities living in the UK they're "immigrants".
In France the number of British immigrants who voted Brexit, but then tried to get an Irish passport, lied to French authorities to get a permanent resident permit when they weren't, and complained endlessly about how the EU was treating them unfairly, is unbelievable.
@marcusjenkins
They willingly believed lies because they thought they were exceptions. How many times did I hear "they won't kick us out they need our money".
I have nothing against immigrants. I like the fact that within the EU you can go and live wherever you like. It's great to meet new people and understand new cultures. I lived 16 years in the UK as an immigrant.
But if you vote against that system because you don't like foreigners, don't expect to continue benefiting from it.
