The younger generation is the one that will be hurt most. But I'd still stake my money on the UK slipping back in via the back door to the EEA. The US had Trump and MAGA and somehow clawed back out of that mess (at least for the time being), we have Boris and Brexit and hopefully the same idiotic circus will come to an end too.

Anyone know when the next bunch of stats on (official) numbers of UK citizens moving to/from Spain will be available or do they simply lump all the non-EU people into one?

Didn’t trump get the American economy booming. Maybe he would still be in power if it wasn’t for covid. If Brexit is a complete disaster then maybe Britain will rejoin. Problem is that the fuel crisis and supply crisis in the uk has gone back to normal. The pound is strong against the euro. House prices are soaring and wages are on the up. Everyone seems stacked out with work atm. I’m failing to see the apocalyptic scenes that so many were predicting.

what you do you want me to prove. That the vast majority of Brexit voters never used their “freedom of movement”. Would of thought that was obvious really.

The UK will become the 51st State before re-joining the EU.. More control for the island..

Stingychips I have eaten so much popcorn waiting for these videos that all the salt has caused my blood pressure to shoot thru the roof.

So we simply want you to share the videos that support the following 4 claims you made:

1. "The majority of Brexit supporters never used the freedom of movement"
2. "I read posts on you tube about Brexit supporters glad that expats have to come home"
3. "I’ve read how people are glad swallows can’t just move In and out of countries without contributing"
4. "Also heard pro EU people saying they are glad that the poorer more undesirable expats can’t just rock up and live in Spain anymore.

One video from youtube to support each of the above claims would be wonderful and thanking you kindly.

In my minds eye stingychips, I have a vision of you.

Biden, despite his age, is still light years ahead of Trump, who was a Russian puppet that had to have his hands restricted at the start of his presidency so that he wouldn't be able to single-handedly lift sanctions on Russia (not even his own corrupt party trusted him so both parties put forward a bill he had to sign or face having his veto overriden by them): https://www.politico.eu/article/trum...ll-he-opposed/

With American politics it's a bit like with driving a car: if you want to move forward, select D. If you want to go backwards, choose R.



COVID just showed how completely incompetent and clueless Trump was/is. An all-talk, no action clown drawing energy from an idiotic, cult following where science and truth aren't based on facts but on whatever he blurbs out. Well, you cannot BS your way out of a pandemic and dead bodies. I was just looking at the figures Down Under and even though America's population is about 12x bigger than Australia's, in terms of Covid deaths the US has lost 300x more people than Australia.

As for Brexit, not a single good thing has come out of it, and a lot of small business that relies on cross-border trade is down (the small guy always loses), not to mention fishermen, etc. Economists have already said that the financial effect of Brexit will be a lose worse than the fallout due to COVID. Add the two and we are in for an unpleasant ride...
