    The forgotten Brits

    They’re not really British anyway, are they?

    I've said from the beginning of this brexit tulip that Gibraltar is going to be an issue at some point. they're only looking at the NI/ROI border, but when Gibraltar gets locked down the tulip will really hit the fan. Most UK bookies have their HQ there nowadays and most of their staff live across the border in Spain

      Not so much fun in years

      The Spanish must be rubbing their hands with glee so much they're getting blisters.

        So if the EU continue with their child like petulance they will be potentially cutting off people's source of income.

        Is that what you are saying?

          Brexiters are the ones that have taken away freedom of movement from U.K. citizens.

          If the British want to be tax resident in a foreign country (Spain, in this instance) they will need to get a work/residence permit and apply for permission, just like any other third country. And just like EU citizens have to here.

          It’s Brexiters that have voted to disrupt people’s lives and cut off their income.

            There is a difference between legitimate movement between countries and a random free for all - as you well know.

            In addition we voted to leave the political body known as the EU nothing more.

              I can’t wait to read whines of people who voted for Brexit when they try getting visas to EU denied due to lack of recognised qualifications and stuff like that

                The difference between legitimate movement and random free all is that other EU countries implemented the first, while the U.K. settled for the second and blamed everyone else for the issues - as you well know.

                You only voted to leave the political body of the EU if you voted for EEA or EFTA. However, that was not an option on the ballot now, was it?

                  I cna reverse that by saying if the hard brexiteers continue with their child like petulance they will be potentially cutting off people's source of income.
                  90+% of Gibraltarians voted to remain and are now punished by some gammon keyboard warriors in a remote corner of some derelict estate in Northern England

                    I don't think the UK government cares about the people. However it is strategically important.
