Where did I put that tiny violin?
Right here 🎻🎻
As an EU citizen I was initially sad about brexit. But meanwhile, honestly, I'm glad the brexit advocates are gone. The EU is much better off without them. I still feel sorry for those who have been deprived of all their rights in the EU against their will.
Thank you
As a EU resident, me too. I hope now the level of Brits that come to the EU will only get better as they now have to pass immigration. Funny, but I live in France and the requirements means that 80% of the French people could not pass thier own immigration, so now if you see a Brit in France he has to be top 20% by default.
They were given the correct information they just chose not to listen to it.
This is what happens when you think you're better than everyone else.
Thats the definition of a remainer.
Esattamente ciò che penso io
These people wanted to be lied to. They believe in British exceptionalism. Result: endless dollops of humble pie.
The exceptionalism of these people;
"Oh, I can have my cake and eat it too, of course I can! I'm w British expat, not some mere immigrant! The rules have been created for our benefit!"
Is quite something to behold. Its hard to feel sorry for them.
I lived in France, before Brexit, worked a little and completed tax returns even though sometimes i earn’t nothing. The French authorities only cared that we were following the rules, and my family applied for our CDS. We visited the prefecture with our paperwork etc and were contacted a week later and asked to return and collect our cards, that’s how easy it was.
In 2018 we were invited to apply for our WARP 10 year residence permits, l learned the language, we never needed to take any language tests or anything, l worked and now if i need to i claim unemployment(Chomage) In 2020 i was working and had an accident at work, after two years i was examined by a médécin du travail and awarded 10% disability which now gives me a pension or Rente of €100 a month for life.
All this because i bothered to follow the rules that were made quite clear, we knew of people who lived under the radar, driving around in UK cars and thought they were above the law and never paid into the ‘system’
The schadenfreude I feel is causing a large smile on my face.
Naughty, naughty.... LOL.
You should not mock the remainers.
anyone who voted brexit who lives abroad or owns property outside the uk(IN EUROPE) deserves the pain they are getting now, hypocrites the lot of them
Turkeys and Christmas 🎁🎁🎁. Merry Christmas turkeys.
Brexit mentality basically was next 2 thoughts together:
1) “we have te leave because Brussels dictates us and we can’t decide our own governance”
2) “once we leave the eu will give us everything we want, because we hold all the cards”
So basically brexiteers thought they had no say over the eu-decisions while a member, but once they left they would be able to decide over eu-decisions…. 😅🤷♂️
These "special" people were willfully blind to the obvious truth, and have got what they wished for...
I agree with everything you say. When eventually, whenever this mess is looked at properly, I hope they will investigate Bojo, Gove Farrage & Co because what these guys did was treason. Thank you posting.
I still can't believe so many people voted for BREXIT! Worse thing ever happened to the UK. What were people thinking!?
i bought a house in poland to retire to, living and working in ireland till then, had to change driving license and will now have to get an irish passport to live in poland, they made it difficult for people here to vote in the referendum, i now buy very little from uk as 25% tax on top of price, i feel the brexiteers hung us out to dry, did people in the uk get their new hospital every week?
"They lied to me!"
Duh, who'd a thunk it?
Having lived in Italy for over half a century I had no vote. However, having dual citizenship I have obviously had very few problems except that I argued with my late sister, I am furious with those silly sausages who voted for Brexit and fail to have any sympathy for the arrogant who were telling me, in a heated way, that Britain needed to get away from the corrupt EU. Brexit also affected my mental health as I was so incensed with the stupidity of it all.
@@JupiterThunder A typical response. Why is it that people do not understand that it is natural to care about the well being of the country from which our ancestors came, our parents, all our relations? I hate to see Britain going down the drain because of a certain island mentality and ignorance. This reflects on us all wherever we are, no matter how old we are or if we are not living in the old country but in Europe.
Le posso sinceramente credere mi ha stupito l'arroganza e stupidità di quelle persone.non si faccia il sangue amaro non ne vale la pena.❤
Aussie here- I was staying in the UK just before the vote and couldn’t understand why people wanted to leave, especially when half of the people I spoke to had holiday/retirement homes in France or Spain. I was repeatedly explaining what a privilege it is to be able to work and live in Europe freely. 😕
Unfortunately its harder now to retire to an EU country since Brexit. Spain is popular because of the climate, cost of living, closeness to UK.
Oh well, at least they can be in their winter home for the coldest period. Then maybe bake in the sun too.
We will miss the Germans vs Brits battles in the morning to conquer the lounge chairs around the swimming pool...
It still happens! I just got back from a resort that only had Spanish and Scandinavians and the Spanish were doing it to them at a 7am breakfast 😮😂
I’ve also just come back from Cyprus only went for a wk and all the brits were doing it there it was a mainly British hotel.
One of my neighbours, whose parents recently returned from Spain, the reasons for which I still do not know, where they had retired before Brexit has moved temporarily into a rented accommodation not far from me. I knew the man in passing but had not spoken to him much and never met his wife, and when I met the couple in the street I said hello and struck up a general conversation. To cut a long story short I was left speechless when his wife told me that they blamed the failure of Brexit on the SNP's support for the EU when most people wanted to leave. When I recovered, I mentioned that 62% of Scots voted to remain in the EU, she then said it was a UK vote and the only reason the SNP opposed Brexit was that they and its supporters were anti-English. It was then she said she had things to do and she and her husband walked away and the conversation quite embarrassingly abruptly ended.
I genuinely feel sorry for the couple who had planned their retirement abroad, but still, find their convoluted reasons for Brexit's failure baffling and somewhat ironic. When controlling immigration was a major reason many voted for Brexit and why retired people living abroad don't regard themselves as immigrants.
People who voted to leave need someone or something else to blame for their unicorns prancing about sunny uplands not being delivered, it's too big blow to their egos to admit that they bought the lies and undeliverable promises instead of listening to people more knowledgeable on the most likely outcomes of leaving the EU.
Exactly.
The case of Scotland is even funnier:
-"If you vote Independence, you'll be OUT from the EU ¡"
-" Oh, well,... then we vote to leave into the UK..."
-"Oh, perfect. Then, we will leave the EU now..."
-"Ehem...What?"
@@alfonsoherguetagomez1821 Scotland is already out of the EU you numpty. :)
Reminds me of a news story. Following the Brexit vote, the number one searched Google question in the UK was,”What is Brexit?”.
These retirees are the same folks that didn’t want to learn the local language.
lots of people feel betrayed by this goverment irrespective of brexit
Spain is beautiful and the people are friendly plus it's a very good real estate market.
Yep. Absolutely correct. Me the Mrs, we love it here.
I remember one voter saying she voted Leave to show the government her disapproval, like you would in Council elections when you're not happy mid-term.
As I understand it, the real reason most people voted out, was because of unrestrained immigration. The EU could have paid attention, responded appropriately, and headed off the movement at the pass. It didn't, Brexit happened and there is growing resentment in many member countries that uncontrolled acceptance of people who are culturally and ideologically alien should settle there. We showed the way.
I find it interesting that many of the leave voters are old enough to remember the state of the UK economy before joining the common market.
Great news love it
Also amusing is this idea that somehow the rules would never apply to the UK. That the UK could leave the EU but still stay in the Single Market and keep all the benefits. The EU stated again and again that this was not possible. Donald Tusk made it clear that leaving the EU meant losing its benefits. The EFTA stated, before the referendum, that the UK would not be welcome in the EFTA and thus there was no "Norway option". The Norwegian Prime Minister was on the news saying that. People in the UK simply refused to believe all of that. They are that used to being treated unfairly (as in, better than everyone else) that they just can't believe it is true. But the UK is no longer an empire, no longer a major power, no longer of any interest to anyone else in the world, no longer worth any special treatment. Whomp whomp!
Why did they fight tooth and nail to prevent us leaving? This is just jingoistic anti-jingoism.
@@travelbugse2829 Nobody "fought tooth and nail". The UK made its decision and that was respected. Article 50 was called and that begins negotiations, as laid out in the treaty. The negotiations are part of the treaty which the UK signed decades earlier, and were required to set the later relationship. Calling this very ordinary and predictable series of events "fighting" only illustrates that it is only you who are jingoistic. No one in the EU saw it as a fight. No one used the term "enemy" (though the UK government did). The UK fought an imaginary war against imaginary oppression and now it has imaginary freedom.
@@deannilvalli6579 They were very aggressive in their efforts to prevent our departure. What pisses me off is the rampant jingoism of many of the remain posters here."Too bad, serves you right, we didn't like you anyway" etc. Why? Europe is suffering just like here. Work hard to build bridges! Our politicians are inept and corrupt, but those in the EU are far worse. All of Europe needs to root out the career politicians, the woke brigade, and reduce the financial burden of the Brussels administration and its pervasive negative impact on ordinary Europeans' lives. Change is coming!
@@travelbugse2829 It is amazing how your Brexiteurs can live in your own bubble of paranoia. No one wanted to prevent the UK departure. The UK had special treatment the entrie time it was in the EC/EU and frankly, everyone was sick of it. We are happy the UK is gone. Europe works much better now, is much more unified.
If you were able to speak another language (I know you can't so don't pretend) you would have known from reading other newspapers and so forth, that no one in the EU tried to prevent the UK from leaving. That simply is not the case. What the EU did do was protect its own members and their interests. That is the purpose of the organisation, to support its members, such as Ireland. And it did that phenomenally well.
While there is indeed corruption everywhere, it is not as easy as saying it is the same everywhere. It is not. The UK is surely one of the very most corrupt countries in the world.
Your claims that the UK is trying to build bridges is utterly ludicrous. The UK has been deliberately provoking the EU for years now.
The change that is coming is the UK falling deeper into economic decline and geopolitical irrelevance.
Enjoy your poverty-stricken island. Enjoy your sewage-covered beaches. You've earned them.

Interesting. (Incidentally, Italy has representation in their legislature for their ex-pats.)
All the problems that people were complaining about that were laid at the door of the EU, were actually because of choices or non-action by successive British governments.
Thought people knew what they were voting for ?
I've got a place in Spain we're inland but we're around an hour drive to the Costa Blanca where the Brits and many other European immigrant pensioners live, I remember very well arguing with so many Brits along that coast, they refused to accept that a leave vote would take away our right to live in Spain.
It's definitely an age thing, I'm 66 years old and most of these were a few years older than me, there's just something about people my age and above that makes them think that our actions have consequences for others but not for us, this guy in the article is just thick if he thought we could leave the club and keep the benefits, it doesn't matter if he says he was misled he only had to think about whether 3rd countries had the same benefits as members.
He seems to be even worse Paul, since he bought the place in 2022, after brexit..
@@ab-ym3bf True, we bought our place in 2007 when Brexit had never been mentioned.
It hasn't, I and my pensioner mum are still here enjoying Spanish life.

Nobody cares how brexit voters are suffering
I am German living since 28 years in the tropics on sailing yachts. You will not believe how difficult it is to deal with immigration in foreign countries. Its a blessing to have the right to choose residence in 27 countries.
Sehr Schön !!!!
The vote was called “Leave.” How could they miss that?
It was never about " getting brexit done " it was about staying in power .We pay they , they stay .
For some bizarre reasons Brexiteers thought they would be exempted from reality. They thought they would have their cake and eat it too.
When you "voted to leave" - you voted to leave..
BS, many voted to not be part of a EU corrupt parliament/system. The fact you were ignorant about says a lot. I voted to keep guys like you out of the EU where I live and against the corruption within the EU. passing immigration was never a worry, always nice to ask and great for them to say "Yes".
I have no sympathy for anyone - regardless of BREXIT - who feels they have a right to live anywhere they want without the need for protocols or consequences. I have 'residencia' in Portugal - where I work and pay taxes, although I continue to maintain a UK passport. I satisfy the legal requirements of both countries, although I choose to reside here.
This "they-lied-on-us" naivety is pretty annoying.
Correct, I'm the same but in France, Brexit changed nothing for me, but it made a difference for those who took the piss in the country they moved too, plus like this guy taking on this clip who without an open door can not move anywhere in the world, hence why they moan so much, free movement is always there for those smart enough.
To me the key question regarding Brexit is: Cui bono? Surely someone has profited hugely from this scam, but who is it? Can it truly be a complete lose-lose self-harm situation?
Who benefits! #1: Russia 🇷🇺. All that Russian money to the Tories wasn’t for nothing. #2: Stock Traders, Short Sellers, & the rest of the Money Men who were going to make a bloody fortune out of this disaster. #3: The Tories who took money 💷 from #1 & #2 to provide them Brexit.
Who benefits? Not the people, that’s for sure.
Local companies can buy houses cheap and sell more expensive to swedes and germans.... A win. Spain sells a house buy it back and sell it more expensive and get more tax everytime. And they get rid of poor foregin pension people that cost health care. A big win for Spain.
@@ulfosterberg9116 true
My theory is that there was/is no one singular force that drove/drives this.
* Boris Johnson was in it for personal ambition, strengthened by a distorted self-image and the self-perceived classic upper-class exceptionalism. Remember that he decided which side to be on very late before the referendum.
* Farage might just be an evil person all the way through, but more likely is that he has an "ideological ambition" to re-form the UK into an as unregulated economy as possible, an Europeean tigrr cronomy if you will. Of-course that is completely incompatible with being a member of the EU, CU and SM.
* A lot of very rich people fears the more active campaign of the EU to fight money laundering, tax evation etc. I'm placing Rees-Mogg with at least one foot in this camp (but of-course there are many others).
* Closely related to the previous point is eg Russian oligarks and their money. They are definitively not interested in any scheme where money obtained, moved and used in questionable ways would come under scrutiny.
* The british press (and other mass media) is mostly a sad thing. Privately owned media are for orofit, yes - but when that means zero percent serving the public and 100% profit maximization (phone tapping, outright lying including fabrication of facts, rewriting of history etc..) you have a foundation for..
* ..an ill-informed population that casts votes in a referendum - where one alternative turns out to be extremely open ended. (And after the result a bunch of naïve or incompetent negotiators are sent to talk to a team of very well prepared civil servants of the EU. Sigh..)
I'm sure there are more ingredients to this soup. Those who seek one simple explanation are just as naïve as the negotiators sent.
At the end of the day this all lands with the UK referendum voters.
Paraphrasing David Mitchell in a QI episode, imitating someone steaming with indignation: "You spend forty years not caring about the running of the country ... AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENS! "
My take on that would be: The voters get the politics and policies they deserve. If you don't study, investigate and get yourself informed then you must eat the soup as it is served.
And, oh.. Let's all agree that, just as we should call brits in eg Spain immigrants and non-brits in GB expats, we should always refer to the non-politicians working for the Brtish government bureaucrats and the corresponding people in Brussels (and elsewhere) civil servants. Just to stirr the pot a bit 😂. Also, we should meet the argument that some decision makers in the EU are not (directly) elected by pointing at the House of Lords. Difference is that being a civil servant of the EU is not for life.
@@robertlandrum1971 Don't forget a LOT of american money backed farage & co for brexit too, those health companies want our nhs & starmer & the other tory party are breaking their necks to be the first to sell it too them.
"we blatatantely ignored the info we're now complaining we weren't given"
There is only one word to describe people who own property in Europe and then voted FOR Brexit, it rhymes with HUNT!
Offensive and incorrect - you sound even more bigoted than the people you look down on from your lofty moral high ground.
Even worse, people who bought a house in 2022, when all the information was out since years, thinking "that doesn't apply to us".
Don’t worry, the Scandinavians will buy off the property for a friendly price
Including the Swedish, for example, who have all-but shut down immigration? The most progressive country in the EU, whose politicians finally accepted that Malmo was the rape capital of Europe?
I get my pension taxed in spain and in the UK too, work that out
That's a weird reality, I pay non residents tax, to live as I like in my house, but if I was a resident of Spain.... I'd be taxed on my Scalpwilliam property as if it was cash in my hand 🙄
As a resident of an EU country I can only blame the couple themselves for not finding out the requirements in Italy before assuming that they had a 'right' to merely move there and believing anything that was told them by the lying Brexiteers. I have sympathy for them but they should have done more research before making drastic assumptions. I hope they achieve their dreams once they get to pensionable age.
They were warned , but the warnings were and still are labelled as ' project fear. ' . Once people are convinced they were right to vote a certain way it is difficult fir them to say ' sorry .'
@@scooby1992 When living in any country you should always know the conditions, rules and laws of that country BEFORE making life-changing decisions. Just "believing" you are right is not good enough.
We have let all the Europeans that have been in the UK for 5 years stay and others over 3 years apply later - what exactly has the EU done for our people abroad - it is the Eu's policies post-Brexit that are at fault??? We have played fair with their citizens - haven't ours applied to stay in the EU???
@@lesleywild8706 That is the problem. Many UK citizens living in the EU did not bother to check the rules. No fault of the EU.
You only have to RUclips for Italian house refurbishment and you find videos talking about their Byzantine rules even for locals
It's always the Brexit they didn't vote for. Ask them what was the Brexit they voted for and no response. Do these people text in and vote on "Britains got talent" without actually seeing the talent they are voting for?
You can only be part of the single market by EU or EFTA membership. There is no other way to get access to it, also not by "deals". The EU has no interest in doing other Swiss style deals. The UK will be a third country for a very long time.
If you cut your ties with your best neighbors, friends, partners and allies don't be surprised that at the end they will also cut ties with you.
Starmer has stated that the UK will not apply to rejoin the EU in the event of the Labour party forming a government. In view of the harms and damage caused by withdrawal to the UK's population, businesses and livelihoods, living standards and working conditions it is nonsense for a party claiming to represent working people to refuse to act to improve the lot of working people.
There is no point in applying when it will be rejected without even being considered because we don't come close to the criteria for applying let alone joining
UK not returning to EU for decades, if ever. So the stance of the Labour party is largely irrelevant for this issue.
Labours stance on not applying to join (not rejoin, there is no such thing, u will have to start from scratch) simply recognizes reality. There is at present no way for the UK to join the EU. As another comment said, any application would at present not even be considered by the EU, as the UK is nowhere near fulfilling the application criteria.
Labour are promising realignment to the EU and various other measures, that will ease trade and travel friction between the UK and the EU, and those are also the first step towards the Copenhagen criteria required by applicant countries. U Brits simply have to come to terms with the fact, that its not up to u, whether ur going to join the EU or not. Its up to us in the EU, and we have been very clear, that at the moment u are far off from fulfilling the criteria, nor are u a priority for us.
And Labour cannot make a timeline for joining the EU, coz the longer time it takes b4 ur next election, the more damage the present government have time to inflict, which will add to the time needed to fix to be able to apply.
Starmer clearly (at least to us in the EU) refuse applying to the EU, coz he among few Brits recognize the fact, that the UK will not be in a position to apply for EU membership, while he is still in politics, perhaps even in his lifetime. The EU has been very clear and very public about the requirements for the UK being able to apply, its all there for u to find, if u want to, but sadly a lot of remainers including BHM simply refuse to face reality as stubbornly as the Brexiters.
"Politics is the art of the possible."
Before Starmer can even think about the UK applying to join the EU, he first has to undo all the damage caused by the insane Tories. (I recommend Labour start by making Toryism a crime with a mandatory sentence of immediate death without trial, and enforcing this law so strictly Draco of Athens would call it harsh.) Only after all that is repaired and the UK meets the standards for applying to the EU will that even be a possibility. Even then, there's the matter of regaining the trust of the EU member states.
Rejoining the EU is not a vote winner in redwall constituencies. Although a majority acknowledge that Brexit has failed, there are still a lot of swing voters who haven't given up on the idea and think Brexit could be improved if they just got the right leader to negotiate with the EU. The Blair Institute for Global Change found in Jun 2023 survey that 51% of Britons would support rejoining EU - barely over half. So support in the redwall will be much lower than that once you factor out the metropolitan areas which are likely strongly pro-Remain/Rejoin.
can give that person 1300 pound for that home
Actually the French Parliament has a seat for a député who represented French people living abroad. Because the largest concentration of French expats was in London that, ironically, was where she was based! However, it seemed to work perfectly well.
"I heard it wouldn't affect us ..." Transalted = I read the Daily Mail and believe it because finding out stuff is hard.
Why didn't people inform themselves before voting? I don't mean listening to Farage and co, rather looking it up for themselves? I'm a bit short on sympathy for those who didn't bother
So if you voted remain, you were ok the level of corruption in the EU parliament? it's Billions btw.
Send these sunburn 'expats' to World of Leather. At least we may get a sofa or two out of them.
Italy is not interested in taking in pensioners that cannot contribute to Italy financially. This is common sense. What is that old couple thinking?
Quite honestly I’m flabbergasted by the Turkeys that voted for Christmas. Have lost out and still can’t face up to the reality that they created. Can’t use their second home. Millions of others are now relying on food banks. And they want sympathy 🤯
I retired to France and voted against Brexit. What has happened is what I feared and more so.
You surely are brain dead to be living in France and voted for Brexit?
More important for you to keep Foreigners out of UK than keep yourself in France?

The rules and regulations to enter or settle in Europe were in place before Brexit and were voted for by British MEP's when we were part of the EU.
Why are the UK citizens so clueless about how the EU works?! The UK helped write those laws!
Only about a quarter of the UK population voted to leave. Basically old people who still thought the British empire ruled the world (even though that all ended in 1914 if not earlier) Racists who didn't like black and brown people and crooks who didn't want to pay tax. Plus a relatively small number of people who genuinely didn't like the EU.
I don't think the EU will accept Britain's application to join the single market. There were multiple rejections in the 70s and the membership was too problematic for them in the 2000s (Britain's population size allowed multiple vetos, blocking tactics and shutdowns on topics that other countries agreed on).
There will not and there cannot be an application for joining the single market. Single market access is for EU and EFTA members only. EFTA membership would come close to just joining the single market but Norway already ruled that out. And EU membership is not just about being in the single market. You have to be fully committed to the EU, not just its economic aspect. And if the UK one day might have made up its mind and applies for full EU membership it won't have all the exceptions, vetos and rebates it once had.
Even in a remote village in Basilicata, there is no way that € 15,000 can buy you a serviceable house. For that money you can buy the walls of a building that would be badly in need of restoration.
Yep. But a person in "construction" could fix the house up then flip it.
One of the things that horrified me about all of this was the arrogance and insulting behaviour used by the CONservative 'negotiators' saying that they were 'going to bring Europe to heel' and so on. It was despicable and of course the tabloids lapped it up. I remember listening to a long interview by Michel Barnier, who had taken the trouble to go to Northern Ireland and talk to as many people as he could. Many of them were rightly fearful of the consequences for them and the very real possibilty of renewed sectarian violence. He was as dismayed as they were by what they were hearing from the other side.
I'm native from Tenerife. I lived in the UK for 15 years. I wanted to learn the language and, obviously, earn money. Had my residency, had my NIN, paid council taxes and even the bloody tv license. I worked my ass off as a waiter, among other jobs. It wasn't easy, I knew that working on minimum wages wouldn't make me rich, but I was happy, content and thriving. I integrated myself completely with the culture, language and folklore.
I returned home because of Brexit. For the first time, after 15 years, I felt unwelcome in the UK.
I know some "ex-pats" here in Tenerife that have been living on the island for decades. All you ever heard from them is the weather. That's all. F*** the culture, f*** the language, and f*** the folklore. It's freaking sunny all year around. The weather is always nice, but, after decades, they still can't even tell you that in Spanish... Some even get upset, offended, because I'm able to tell them off in their own language. The nerve...
People Fell For There Lies ,We Need To Get The Truth Across,But We Are Fighting A Right Wing Media,How Do We Tell People They Were Lied Too ???
I heard from a group of people who, even before Brexit, were well known for not telling the truth, from a bunch of Nigel's and Boris's, that Brexit wouldn't affect me. And I believed these notorious liars. Now I'm looking for someone to blame, someone who isn't me.
They should face criminal charges, misleading the public.
Imagine the scene: The music of Wagner's "The ride of the Valkyrie" swells in the distance. Looking out over the white cliffs of Dover a faint sound can be heard.

British residents abroad were represented in the European Parliament because like all EU citizens in another EU country, they were allowed to vote in European elections. Of course they would vote in the EU constituency where they lived.
Operation Stack (Brock? anyhoo) will be renamed Snap Crackle & Biop and become a never ending story and it might be cerealised
You were all given at least 5 years notice that if you didn't apply for residency or become a citizen of the eu country you had retired too you become person non grata.
As an Aussie who keeps an eye on the post Brexit world I think this is especially to the point!
Remember 'Project Fear?' 🤔
Ask me if I care about people who thought they could have their cake and eat it. You wanted out, you got out. Quit your beefing.
Brexit ended the 4 freedoms for the UK, free: trade, movement, jobs, living.
What many residents of the UK, who are now calling for re-entry into the EU, seem to completely overlook is that the new application for membership would have to be approved by 27 states and parliaments. Even the states that the UK has stepped on in the last 5, 10 or 15 years.
So where does the belief come from that this could succeed?
Settle into your isolation as best you can, because it will last a long time, I fear.
It wasn't just MP's lieing to us but every TV program at the time was promoting Britishness as well as every news paper. If i had a euro for every time i heard the frase 'best of British ' i could of bought my self a second home in the south of France.

ZERO sympathy....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I remember the day after the vote one of my work colleagues saying that she voted to leave but that she still was going to retire to Spain.
She got really angry when I told her that her plans were worthless and that she wouldnt be able to retire to Spain.
Q: why Spain? A: Sunny Spain.
Spain's mountains protect it from clouds, Even when the rest of Europe is covered in clouds, Spain remains sunny. it looks unreal and amazing in satellite photos
How could u not hv think brexit'd hv consequencies ???
As an Australian I’m pretty sure that only the dumbest poms are left in britain now.
It is unimaginable what goes inside the heads of these people.
If they'd bought in 2016/17 I might have some sympathy but last year?
Yeah, thats not about Brexit. Thats about doing ur homework b4 acting.
Ridiculous isn't it! 😂😂
Up until last year, I'm guessing they thought Brexit was OK, at least....
How much do you want to wager Greg Walter would still be miserable after moving to Italy? There will be nonstop complaints about how everyone speaks a foreign language, they won't accept Pounds at the market, and the food is too fussy.
"This wasn't the Brexit we voted for!"
True. The Brexit they voted for was, "Nothing changes for me--I still get all the EU advantages but I don't get any of the disadvantages." I mean, that sounds like a great deal to me! I'd vote for that in a heartbeat!
Of course, having that means that the EU needs to say, "Gosh, Britons, you're so awesome that, yeah, sure, we'll carve out special exemptions for you compared to those other countries." And that didn't happen, oddly enough. And, of course, it's the EU's fault for not doing that.
Due to UK membership in the EU, London became the EU's de facto, business capital.. Now that the UK has left, a lot of London based business has migrated to EU cities like Paris, Amsterdam, and Dublin. Britain may want to rejoin the EU but why would the EU want to undo this economic windfall? If I were a EU voter I'd be saying 'ABSOLUTELY NOT' if the UK asked to rejoin.
Why Spain, if you want sun, good weather all year and beaches near England the alternatives are only a few: the south of Italy has mafia problems and volcanos, italian beaches are frequently not free, the Toscana and north are more expensive and the weather is not that nice, the south of France is very expensive, it remains the south of Portugal, but Portuguese is more difficult than Spanish. So then it is Spain, sun a lot of free beaches, calmer, cheaper, and easier.
People were asked to vote for something that they knew nothing about. Cameron was an idiot for asking people to vote.
For half a century Brits have not had any experience of what actually happens to 3rd countries.
They will now.
Nobody would have stopped them to inform themselves about the consequences.
He didn’t think people would actually be stupid enough to vote for Brexit.
@@JohnHollyoak-vx6pn Ukip lunatics had infiltrated the Tories Cameron too weak to stand up to the far right of his party .
They had the information but would not listen. Which means less freedom for the rest of us.
There are/were two types of British expats in the EU. One category is the immigrant, i.e. a legal British resident of a given EU country who holds a valid residency card and follows all the rules of living in that country (including paying local taxes). The second category is the "permanent tourist" who pretends not to live in a given EU country when he/she actually does, the idea being to escape local taxes and some rules. The immigrants have no problem staying in their country of choice, regardless of Brexit, as they are legal residents. For the permanent tourists Brexit is an issue as they cannot fly under the radar, they cannot cheat local legislations anymore. And it's harder to obtain a legal resident status for non-EU citizens.
the irony of folk, rejecting the EU, but wish to retire to the EU ?? Go figure
I can believe two impossible things at the same time.
How about Thailand? As long as they don't vote to join the EU.
If you educate your self, you will find more people are against the EU within the EU. Here in France if they had the vote tomorrow more would vote to leave, remember they voted against the maastricht treaty which was ignored btw.
I wish the English people could see themselves as others do .
That applies to any race.
They do and many of my friends in France admire the UK and wish they had the balls to do the same.
anche io forse capirebbero perché siano così antipatici.chiaramente nella media non tutti sono così .
Regardless of the new rules and what they might be, why would someone that wanted to be closer to Europe by living there even consider voting leave, it’s just bizarre?
Just call them as they are. IMMIGRANTS..........they als say it to others!!!!
Many British think they still live in an Empire. I have read that it is an even smarter Empire than it was before. I am not joking, they really think so and write it down. So why not retire in this British Empire. I am sure that there are nice places there too.
It's no fun any more. They voted to get rid of us, and then their economies tanked. But then again, Brussels was trying to start an empire.
No they can not rejoin the SM or customs not possible please get your facts right! Maybe the EU in 30 years, when terms and condition will strictly apply 😮
Dont bother. Some of us have been trying to tell BHM that for years, but he, as many remainers, stubbornly refuse to face reality on that point, he even at 1 point made a video, where he very condescending brushes us off. Just like the Brexiters, there is nothing u or I or any1 else can say to ever burst his selfinflicted bubble.
