There are some people are so stupid and just blame other parties for their own stupidity. If you have been living in Spain for over five years and want to continue living there why do not you just apply for Spanish permanent residence and then continue with Spanish citizenship? Both Spain and UK allow dual nationalities. That is actual what Spanish people living in the UK are doing. You pay for your own stupidity.

Perhaps we should find some Spanish people in Britain, who have not made the correct arrangements, and make a silly video about them, so that we can suggest it applies to ALL Spaniards.

They don’t shed as many tears as you did when you lost the Brexit vote, U.K. maybe struggling a little with brexit but what do you expect when a remainder disguised as a leaver was and still is in charge, Traitors all of you

It wasn't the refusal to learn Spanish, they refused to legalise their status because they didn't want to pay taxes, matriculate their UK plated car, which was declared SORN, had at best a very dodgy MOT. That's why.

However the vast majority don't speak Spanish and refuse to integrate, the Spanish Government should turf them out , especially as a lot of these Brexity Brits are the first ones to complain about someone here not speaking English in the UK ( even if they're actually speaking English correctly with a foreign accent )

@@garykelly6669 Interestingly a lot of the 'Moaning Brits,' voted - if they voted, to remain.

They have no idea what 'Hast luego, señor,' means. Adios amigo!

@Volcano-Man I voted remain and despite the fact I don't live in Spain I speak Spanish as I visit Spain frequently I have some sympathy for the British people in Spain who didn't vote for Brexit however whatever way you voted if you're living in another country learn the language, the culture and integrate and if you don't want to then leave , and FYI no such thing as ex pats they're immigrants,

@@tristanellinghoven6717 Agreed. My point is that expat and imigrant are not interchangeable. Point in case, working on a contract in country X makes you an expat; but not an immigrant in country X.

Expats are going back and forth between two counties without any restriction. Immigrants are not always able to do that.

@@Loveitdownunder There is no such thing as british exceptionalism. Expats are not welcome in Europe, but british immigrats are welcome if they comply to the rules, paying tax and health.

@Cian MacGana the reason there's no food shortages lies in the lack of controls at the UK border, nothing is checked so nothing is delayed or returned.

@@tinaforbes1059 Exactly, a lot of it comes down to not wanting to pay into the system as the health care is very expensive, however when you need anything it is there instantly. There’s no waiting like the NHS. Always someone else’s fault.

Totally agree, I've got no respect for anyone who moves to any country to get a lifestyle they want without fully integrating and contributing to their new country ... as someone in a similar situation I am amazed by the number of "ex-pats" who proudly tote their inability to speak the local language and who only integrate with other ex-pats...

I so agree with that. I find it abhorrant that anyone would choose to do otherwise. I'm a few years out from moving to France myself and expect to fully integrate.

It wasn't stupid. Salaries in UK rising due to lack of cheap immigration workers. Their currency is detached from the crashing Euro. So slowly their lifes are getting better, those negative side effects in the beginning will vanish over time.

@@dirkbecker2961 I don't think your comments bear any relevance to the actual issue in the news item, but is just a general unicorn comment on Brexit. The lack of workers is harming productivity in many sectors of the economy, despite wages rising in some areas, giving rise to the abnormal spike in inflation we are seeing as rising costs are passed on to customers. The Euro is not crashing, that is your fantasy. Just look at how Northern Ireland is prospering if you want to see the benefits of staying in the single market and the Customs Union. The lives of the UK citizens who ignored the need to register after Brexit are not getting better, but I would say to Prithi Patel she should prevent the return of these idle parasitic people to the UK if at all possible.

Who are they!!

No citizen that voted to get the UK out of the EU voted against their own interest. A complete new layer of government is silly when European countries could have done all the free trade and free movement, even the currency, without all the extra strings attached.

@@drawingdead9025 I think that is a pipe dream. Someone needs to tell you that free movement and a common currency require a common administration, even if free trade does not. Go and tell the United States that they don't even need a federal structure but can do all that they do without a government. I f it was not believed by the UK citizens living in Spain that they had a right to live there and rather that they should be repatriated then indeed they did not vote against their own interests. And fishermen and farmers not to mention many others clearly did not vote in their own interests, even if they did not think so at the time.

I am retired living in France. I receive my state pension here and pay French income tax on it. This gives me social and health cover.

@@noneinparticular2338 what else are you then -a hyperventilating hysterical crybaby -full of hate "They think they are entitled, damn British ppl" cry harder cry baby

You have the benefit of having learnt to write in English. Now learn English grammar and spelling.

@@jonniebyford Brits have had the benefit to become undeservedly rich when UK was a member state, but the toffenoses never attempted to learn any of the European languages, did they?

We understand the bit we're we no longer have to subsidies EU countries by paying them 32 billion pounds a year membership fee! Maybe you could explain to French fishermen how this works because they dont seem to understand it either!

@@ezicarus8216 Keep out of this. Adults talking.

@@shirleymental4189 Good morning, I'm interested to know what your main reasons for supporting leaving the EU is. I'm not here to argue or anything but simply to learn, when the referendum happened I was too young to vote in it, however we did hold a vote at school as a kind of experiment, and around 80 percent of the students voted to remain, in my constituency also, the majority voted to remain. I was mainly concerned about my future ability to live and work in the EU freely, as well as my ability to study as I am a student of Spanish and my girlfriend is German. The UK has pulled out of the Erasmus scheme and replaced it with the Turing scheme, which would make it incredibly difficult for me to do a year abroad without paying a lot of money and going through complicated processes, which would be difficult for me as I come from a low income family. I was also concerned about living with my girlfriend as this would prove difficult after Brexit. I was also concerned about my childhood friends who I grew up around, many from Poland and worried about their status after Brexit, and the healthcare workers as well who come from a wide array of nationalities. Brexit has also had the unforeseen consequence of creating a rift between Scotland and England, and the majority of them vote for the Scottish National Party. Brexit has not made my life better in any way, however it may hinder my prospects in the future. I'm sure people had reasons for voting for Brexit, but please can I have some from you?

@@samuelross8328 Nice post

At least you have no polish nor europeans people anymore unless they get the visa card.... And we spaniards not have any britts also anymore unles they get the residencia card. Who wins?.I guess Europe. You voted to leave cause you are a racist person , but the britts didn´t expect thet Europe turned up as a racist club againts the anglosaxons. No point to the uk be back to the EU.... I do not think, in a european referendum in order to let the britts to enter again ,people would vote the yes box.

Lets be fair England is a country that most uk residents would want to leave

Actually the trouble is everyone else in the EU still has the liberty to live, work, settle and travel throughout an amazing continent without the extra expense and bureaucracy Brexit has bestowed. Apart from the total idiocy of voting away opportunities, what a mediocre and boring outlook Brexit is.

@@user-ei3dq2dw6i why ? Because Hal’s of Europe wants to live in UK ??

"their" choice.

@@olibranchoharadedog5886 were such idiots with vaccines! Lol 😂

Then they will leave Britain and work elsewhere

Well until Brexit they did have it both ways.

It isn't easy to obtain citizenship. Having been there for a long time doesn't entitle someone to get citizenship.

They can stay as foreign residents as well, but then they will have to pay their taxes, especially contribute to the Spanish health care system. There is no free lunch.

@De Factio Funny because when the EU apply the 'law' the brexiters keep claiming that they're being bullied.

Que barbaridad. Y ahora deben de regresar Gibraltar también

Regardless of Brexit! If you move to a other country and plan to stay, You need to register. It's a requirement. Those who lived there without being registered have been found out because of Brexit. BUT they were illegally living in Spain!

@Chase A : Your comment is as pathetic as your punctuation.

I'm English, and I couldn't agree more.

@@peterwest5525 touched a cord eh ?

@@chasea7595 You can´t spell, either. You don´t even know your own language.

@@peterwest5525 I'm no Brit but I'm doing fine with my writing .now let's spell expatsssssss.

"You will have it revoked"?? Don't know where you heard that. Passed my test back in the eighties (in the UK, when there was only a practical exam!). I drive with a Spanish licence, and didn't have to take any test! All my groups validated, even the ones the Spanish don't get for just passing a car test!

You must have exchanged your licence before Brexit. Since January any new residents and existing ones who never registered have to sit a full Theory and Practical exam if they want a Spanish Licence. Gov Website. However last month UK have informed us on their website that they are now in discussions for UK citizens who reside in Spain to forgoe the Spanish Test and just exchange their licence. I am holding my breath as I have held a full UK licence since 1972 and am moving out to Spain next month. When I say revoked I should have maybe used another word as at this moment of writing you can only drive on a UK licence for 6 months from start of residency before you have to exchange it for a Spanish one. Pray they don't force us to sit two tests as I couldn't hack it.

@@igotafeelin I swapped mine a long time ago.

I am sorry for you mate. Everything is getting expensive .The sale of homes soared 25.6% in the month of March compared to the same period in 2021. Thus, it adds up to 59,272 operations. This is its highest figure since January 2008 -in the middle of the real estate bubble- and its best data in a month of March since 2007. At that time, there were more than 74,000 sales. These are data from the National Institute of Statistics (INE) that also show that the number of transmitted farms registered in the property registers, which come from public deeds carried out previously, was 227,773 in the month of March. Everything is up in Spain.

Now the nhs has 350 million pound extra per week. Sure we Brits will be better off! We believed Borris and Farrage. We were sold down the river

@@patrickarthur5852 your not still singing that same old song oh dear .l lived in Great Britain all my life Greatest country in the world bar none the only thing that buggers it up is politicians. I voted never to join the EU in the first place never changed my mind in the year's since. The EU was thought up by Germany for Germany even used the same Bank. Look up the bank off international settlement. But if people wish to live in Spain or anywhere else so be it but don't pretend to be patriotic British when there not if they were they would live here and spend their money here.

@@allansmith3837 you lived in Britain all your life, I would have never guessed!

@@ab1965 Yes Greatest Country in the world bar none tried the rest like the best one problem full off freeloaders and politicians

@@allansmith3837 we had a great country, but it's being divided. It's being run for the rich only. The treatment of our nurses is shameful. A small number are making huge money from Brexit. Exporter's have big delays getting to our biggest market. Scotland wants independence. NI will follow How did it all go so wrong?

But we cant have that bechause after all how our country will prosper if the most brighter and highly educated people of our nation decided to move to other country bechause of small thing like better living quality or better paying job like imagine that happenening in your country ugh

Ironic
