"British immigrants sent home from Spain and other would be immigrants turned away at the airport as Spain uses the 90 day rule against British Citizens. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1417852/expat-news-brexit-latest-spain-return-eu-residence-rules Seems so unfair especially as a lot of these people voted for Brexit but did not expect the rules to apply to them. " And printed in the brexit Bible too. | |||

"Bang on the money - that is what it is lol The entire premise of Brexit was to break free of the EU - so now that has happened how can it possibly be any surprise that the rights and privileges that we had as members now don’t apply?

Face it, they sold us a complete and utter pup, because they could mot give a toss about you or I. I’m angry because I saw it coming, you should be more angry as they played you  | |||

"It is the stupid Spanish losing money they need talk about cutting your nose of to spite your face. The Spanish are truly stupid this is proof. Eventually they will beg these people to go back" Think you’re proving something else to be honest. No they won’t be begging. The Germans, Dutch , Swedish and now the Russians again will happily fill the gap. The Russian tax system has been relaxed so now it’s ok to own a second home again. We don’t hold all the cards in Spain either so forget that nonsense. Maybe in the 70s and 80s. | |||

As most of these people complaining are older and living on pensions the private medical is something they simply can’t afford . Add to that Private medical in Spain isn’t a cover all, the less well off simply can’t risk staying.
Some of them voted to end free movement and got exactly what they wanted . They should be happy and smiling on their return to the U.K. Maybe Farage will get some happy photos at Doncaster airport and basque in his success.
Sadly others happy to vote remain in Spain were caught up in others ignorance of the consequences.

Sadly others happy to vote remain in Spain were caught up in others ignorance of the consequences.

Show me proof that the term is racist
You're alright mate, one rule for one, one for another, super
Are you offended by the word ‘gammon’ ?
I'm not, but you've been told others are, that should be enough for you according to the rules of the left.
Hey why the U-turn? You're usually ranting and raving about non-racists being not racist.
However often you say it doesn't make it a word
Using the term woke (which means anti racist ) as an insult could be seen as being racist, what do you think?
Could is a lovely useful little word isn't it.
Anyone can just throw it in there when their argument has collapsed. It's like a reset word. "What argument has "collapsed"? Are we not allowed to discuss your fear of non-racists? Is this going to go like the other thread where only anti-anti-racists are allowed to express their freedom of speech and everyone else has to stay away or stay quiet? | |||

The same "polluted" waters that they fought tooth and nail to be able to carry on fishing. Of course it is only to be expected that the Spanish would exploit Covid to flex their muscles. Why not? At the moment they have nothing to lose, there would be no British holidaymakers anyway. Let's see how they behave when tourism opens up again.

Fuck everyone who doesn’t believe in unicorns and sunlit uplands and fuck them even if they do and they subsequently become casualties of the cause. " Well that's fucking cleared that up | |||

Their insurance will start to become more expensive snd they will have exclusions. Hardly controversial to pay for your healthcare if its a system you haven't paid into. Fuss about nothing. " Exactly why those “freeloading” pensioners have to come home . You do know with free movement they got free healthcare to a point. That’s the problem they now have to pay for their own . Not all those on the costas have deep pockets whether they are ill or not! It was cheaper to live on their pensions in Spain as houses were cheaper and more plentiful. Less clothing as it’s hot!! Less heating bills etc etc Nicer climate and plenty of fresh healthy food. Sad they now have to move back here to the cold expensive U.K. . But as I said a lot voted for it so will be happy. | |||

"I live in Spain and have residencia. It was free and was easy to get. Anyone who spends more than half their time in Spain can apply for residencia. With residencia comes an obligation to pay Spanish tax. That has been the same, both pre-Brexit and post-Brexit. Accordingly, many have chosen to 'live under the radar' to avoid tax. To protect their legal rights people are now having to 'break cover' and apply for residencia. Some of these people are choosing not to pay Spanish tax and are returning to the UK.

"I've very limited sympathy for people who haven't applied for residencia. The Spanish and UK governments are acting in a spirit of reciprocation to protect everyone's rights. The Spanish government has said officially that they are not actively looking for people living illegally...but at the point at which they find them they have to adhere to the law. It means they can apply for residencia and be liable to Spanish tax or, after 90 days, they can return to the UK. I think that's very fair. Some people, a minority, are choosing to return to the UK. Even then they can continue to spend six months a year in Spain. There's too much political nonsense being made about this "As is always the case with anything to do with brexit. Any story can be weaponised on either side of the debate. Im sick of it. Been reading this thread from the start knowing exactly the facts that you’ve pointed out (wolfs mother has applied for residency herself) and just watched people turn to insults and vitriol again and again.

"It was only to be expected that the EU were going to chuck the toys out of the pram once Brexit was finalised. Wrap it up any which way you like but it really is punishment for telling them where to stick their federalist dream. Now they are flapping around digging up obscure rules that haven't been enforced (on anyone) for years. Truckers ham sandwiches anyone? Banning shellfish from Britain's "polluted" waters. The same "polluted" waters that they fought tooth and nail to be able to carry on fishing. Of course it is only to be expected that the Spanish would exploit Covid to flex their muscles. Why not? At the moment they have nothing to lose, there would be no British holidaymakers anyway. Let's see how they behave when tourism opens up again. Benidorm and Marbella empty and Bodrum and Marmaris full might just focus a few minds. The issue was not about tourism though was it? I have no doubt that tourism will open up again, but the only issue I perceive will be the Daily Mail “Fury at....” (passport controls, health insurance checks or something like that). The big issue will be to come when the ETIAS system comes into play and people start to get rejection notices because of historical blemishes and misdemeanours. This issue is about British property owners in Spain who are now faced with a number of issues that are so obvious, we even discussed them right here on Fab over the last several years. 90/180 - prevents snowbirding over the whole of the winter. Health Insurance - insurance by default excludes pre-existing conditions and most people who can afford a home in Sin (or France/Italy etc) are going to be at an age where they will (at best) be starting to get health conditions. Their insurance will start to become more expensive snd they will have exclusions. Hardly controversial to pay for your healthcare if its a system you haven't paid into. Fuss about nothing. Exactly why those “freeloading” pensioners have to come home . You do know with free movement they got free healthcare to a point. That’s the problem they now have to pay for their own . Not all those on the costas have deep pockets whether they are ill or not! It was cheaper to live on their pensions in Spain as houses were cheaper and more plentiful. Less clothing as it’s hot!! Less heating bills etc etc Nicer climate and plenty of fresh healthy food. Sad they now have to move back here to the cold expensive U.K. . But as I said a lot voted for it so will be happy. That's your prejudice about the sort of people who you think voted for Brexit. And their healthcare was far from free, its part of what used to cost the UK 9 billion a year. Ha ha not notice the sarcasm Chris you must be slipping. Did you miss the fact I have a villa there ?? Whether we pay here or there in tax or memberships we pay but it was free to the end user ie the mostly elderly. Now to stay they have to pay. The costs were cross charged between countries using the health card I system I believe but open to being corrected by someone with better knowledge . " Before if you got treated in Spain they wanted your E111 and billed the NHS accordingly. As an expat, you are currently entitled to free state healthcare if you are: Resident in Spain and work in employment or self-employment and pay social security contributions or a state pensioner.Hope this clears up the confusion about people who have gone down the legal route and have residency. | |||

Obviously you are not personally affected so it’s not bothering you.
Regarding your points.
Those who would like to stay also need to prove wealth or income which they can’t in many cases don’t have.
As for leaving your house empty for six months that in itself is fraught with risk.
Squatters have very strong rights in Spain so trying to get them out is not easy and definitely not quick . Empty furnished houses attract squatters .
Just another question
Where do those coming back for six months live?? A lot of people can’t afford two houses. So have no choice but to move back.

And the vocal majority are definitely those who want to silence, cancel and remove freedom of speech from those they deem (dictionary definition of) woke. We have very different perspectives. Talking about any of the following: "The denial of evolutionary biology in some cases, the sexualisation of children, racial grievances and segregation coming back". Is likely to have you labelled "woke". It's just another method used by the far right to attempt to discredit anyone with a progressive viewpoint. Which is why I always take the dictionary definition. For reference, look at any of the threads on here with "woke" in the title. | |||

My experience has been the opposite. Myself and others I’ve talked to privately have been reported and blocked for being critical of ‘wokism’. But ultimately I don’t see using ‘woke’ as an insult as racist. I do see ‘gammon’ as racist as it’s used to specifically insult a particular race or skin colour, which is a protected characteristic (even if you want to believe Britain is a white supremacist state), ergo at its most base level it is racist. I don’t think it’s productive however, to insult anyone in any discussion. To me that’s when the debate is lost. | |||

"People wouldn't just fly to Japan and announce that they were going to live there. Why do they think they can do so in Spain? The Spanish have been generous. They allow people to stay for up to six months per year. Any more though and people have to apply for residencia. I think that's fair.
Totally if you’re not in the EU free movement area.
Shame people didn’t get what taking back control of our borders actually meant. I think they did but you are always going to get some people in society who are either unable to understand due to lack of education or those who are just chancers and dont give a toss. Which i think are a very small minority and cant be used for making a point as we have no way of knowing which way they voted or wanted the vote to go. "I disagree Costa I think most who voted leave in Spain we’re looking at the closing of borders as a way to keep immigrants out of the U.K. and to re-live some utopia of a kingdom that only ever really existed in their imagination. Why would they vote for something which would ruin their lifestyle? A lot who voted leave then woke up to what stopping free movement meant which was they couldn’t move freely either which was a total shock. There are all types of people in Spain so I don’t think education was the issue I think ignorance of the facts and reality of the benefits given to them by being part of the EU was blatantly missing form the leave rhetoric. The Spanish have been very generous in ignoring brits living without any serious attempt at residency but now they are imposing rules we wanted back in place as other third countries have. We really have no ground for complaints. It’s just more of the wonderful oven ready deal. Some bloody oven that was!! It is such a shame for those who would like to stay but can’t . I genuinely feel for them as it’s a good way to live compared to being in the U.K. for a lot of people. | |||

"There’s a lot of debate over gammon being racist or not still. But applying common sense and a bit of pragmatic thinking, using an insult referencing ones skin colour has always been considered racist, so why not when it applies to white people? ‘Woke’ has nothing to do with the race of those called ‘woke’, and is about their ideology and world view, not a physical immutable characteristic. There is no debate here. Stop hijacking the thread. Woke ‘alert to injustice in society , especially racism ‘ . Why would you use the term as an insult ? Btw, I didn’t hijack the thread , someone suggested it was racist, I disagreed I am sure that is allowed It’s certainly used as an insult. I didn’t say it wasn’t. A lot of people see ‘wokism’ or intersectionality as a madness and counter productive. I’ve seen you insult and denigrate plenty of people on the forums for not having the same world view as you so it’s no different. But ‘woke’ as an insult is certainly not a racist term. Let it go and get the thread back on track. "Woke" is used as an insult primarily by racists who no longer feel like they have safe spaces to say derogatory things about brown skinned people. Can't be racist, so they attack non-racists. I despise midwittery but this time I have no other option - where’s your source for the contention that it’s an insult ‘primarily used by racists’? Or is it just an opinion (not a problem if it is of course, I just want clarity)? Yeah obviously I am not going to try to find some published piece to prove this. And presumably some people use this word "woke" out of context. Woke: alert to injustice in society, especially racism. Why else would anyone use this as an insult. As if not being racist is a bad thing. As I’ve outlined further up the thread. A lot of people see ‘wokism’ as cultish and a form of mania. There are stark contradictions within the idea of intersectionality that ‘woke’ represents bordering on hypocrisy. The denial of evolutionary biology in some cases, the sexualisation of children, racial grievances and segregation coming back....a lot of people see these things as regressive. So yeah, they use woke as an insult. I’d argue it’s less to do with a desire to ‘want’ to be racist and more a frustration that the very vocal minority is dominating the meek and mild majority with head blowing nonsense. This is interesting. People on here specifically use the dictionary definition of woke as an insult though. And the vocal majority are definitely those who want to silence, cancel and remove freedom of speech from those they deem (dictionary definition of) woke. We have very different perspectives. Talking about any of the following: "The denial of evolutionary biology in some cases, the sexualisation of children, racial grievances and segregation coming back". Is likely to have you labelled "woke". It's just another method used by the far right to attempt to discredit anyone with a progressive viewpoint. Which is why I always take the dictionary definition. For reference, look at any of the threads on here with "woke" in the title. Therein lies your perception of it in your response tho. You seem to be quick to see any criticism of ‘wokism’ as the exclusive domain of the ‘far right’. I don’t. I think it’s perfectly legitimate to criticise and pull apart ideas that I and other critics find regressive. I’ve not seen the attempted restriction of free speech here that you refer to. My experience has been the opposite. Myself and others I’ve talked to privately have been reported and blocked for being critical of ‘wokism’. But ultimately I don’t see using ‘woke’ as an insult as racist. I do see ‘gammon’ as racist as it’s used to specifically insult a particular race or skin colour, which is a protected characteristic (even if you want to believe Britain is a white supremacist state), ergo at its most base level it is racist. I don’t think it’s productive however, to insult anyone in any discussion. To me that’s when the debate is lost. People get blocked here for all kinds of things. I've been banned for the opposite reasons you have. Criticism of ideas, even anti-racism is good. But the reality is, we get insulted and criticised constantly for not being racist. People have argued that they're using some reimagined meaning for the word "woke", which is silly. Just use normal words to describe what the objection is to someone's view points. If you choose to look at the threads with "woke" in the title, you'll see people getting angry and confused about a school kids poem, a story in the Express about Rule Britannia being banned, which turned out to be bullshit. The people who start these threads have absolutely zero interest in the real issues that exist in this country, and have allowed the right wing media to distract them with these non-stories. The same people who participate in these anti-woke rants are also the people who don't think it's important that Floyd George was killed. As an example. So while people use "woke" as an insult, I'm going to assume they're using the dictionary definition.

" That's not what I said. I used it as an example of the people who get upset about non-racists talking, are also posting about not caring other issues. | |||
