I think that's worrying too.

I can't see our glorious government kicking them out after Brexit. Why should Spain kick out British ex-pats?
I truly canīt believe that people think the immigrant problem will go away if Britain is not in the EU, those determined to get in will get in, and once in thatīs where theyīll stay. It takes years for Britain to throw anyone out and even then, as we all know, last minute events prevent it. How many illegals are there currently? A very large number I believe and the authorities donīt even know where they are. Britain has always seen itself as the saviour of the world, it will save anyone except itīs own people and EU or no EU I very much doubt itīs going to change.

However, once free of the shackles of the EU we can, at least in theory, make our own decisions.
After Brexit, what we then need is another Maggie or, better still, a certain Mr Farage!

Re: Ex Pat what could happen on EU exit
Have no fear. The powers that be will NEVER allow Britain to exit the EU. Just isn't gonna happen. If they can convince enough people to sway the vote to stay in the EU then all the better for them, but if not, they will rig the vote. Either way the entire referendum is just a charade.You no more have a choice here than you have a choice in how the country is run during a general election.

I don't care any more if the country goes to Hell in a handcart!

British pensioners do more than their fair share of "overloading" the Spanish health system, as for A & E, you should see the hospitals during the summer season, heatstroke, drunks, accidents caused by drink, sunburnt children, sunburnt adults, sea rescues which then require hospital treatment, I could go on and on. Are all these medical emergencies not overloading the Spanish healthcare?I truly canīt believe that people think the immigrant problem will go away if Britain is not in the EU, those determined to get in will get in, and once in thatīs where theyīll stay.
