    Only about half the expats in Europe are in Spain. Of those in Spain, many are pensioners and a large majority are not rich - just ordinary working class folk.

    The middle class go to France.

    The upper class and rich go to Switzerland.
    fascinating but quite irrelevant to my point. As in my post the majority are in Spain.

    Typical EU argument. attack detail irrationally not substance.


    Whilst not rich they are in the main self supporting and welcomed in country the majority are probably not affecting the job or housing market. This assumption that Brexit will result in a sea of pensioners returning overnight is about as likely as all the Eastern Europeans leaving on day one or all the French & Italians in the Finance industry bogging off.


    The point is to slow the flow and control it. Pointing to pensioners in small numbers is hardly relevant.

      Plus they can sue our government if we try and stop them carrying tax avoidance

      Pity we can't do the same
      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
