Because we still have rule of law, it doesn’t matter what those island monkeys are doing.
lol, island monkeys
I also like “crumpet munchers”
Crumpets are really tasty, though 🤤
Not a massive fan of the dehumanizing language w/ this one
So fun fact: In Spain we have a word: guiri. While technically it means any foreign tourist, 90% of the time we use it as a pejorative against British people lol
I don’t think there’s a specific word for them here, but basically 90% of the time you hear someone shouting and acting like a drunk asshole in the Amsterdam centrum, they’ve got a UK accent.
Same everywhere in Spain. The Brits have a tendency to get super drunk and jump off of balconies

Why not though? Loud doesn’t mean abusive or aggressive. Cultural differences shouldn’t be completely squashed. Some cities are bright lights and some are quiet and some are loud.

I have traded being a Gringo to being a Guiri…and I’m OK with that (because the few times it was used I defended myself in somewhat passable Spanish and then everything was cool)
Why not send them to Australia lol?
Sending them to the UK would be punishment enough. There’s a reason why so many are fleeing.
😂
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A Spanish woman was detained at Luton airport and denied re-entry after a Christmas visit to Spain, even though she had been living and working in the UK with her family for years.
Trapped in the grey area of backlog and conflicting rules, like tens of thousands of EU citizens after Brexit, these cases are a recurring tale in post-Brexit Europe.
How does detaining a 34-year-old veterinary nursing apprentice living with her husband and in-laws in Bedfordshire, returning home after a trip to meet her sister’s baby, and in possession of a UK government document stating her right to work, contribute to “safe and secure” borders?
In Spain, a common reaction from readers commenting on the Spanish woman detained at Luton was to demand that British citizens should be treated in a reciprocal way.
Despite the hurdles and the constant targeting of foreigners by the Conservative government, more than 5 million EU citizens remain in the UK after applying to the settlement scheme.
Youth unemployment is still very high in Spain, and many young Spaniards still inquire about the almost closed route of work in the service industry in the UK, to learn English and acquire more skills.
The original article contains 722 words, the summary contains 198 words. Saved 73%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Is it EU nationals who didnt ask for settled status?
No it’s EU nationals who did ask for settled status, and are entitled to it, but the Brits still didn’t get around to process the paperwork and apparently they’re not able to figure it out on the spot, either. One would expect authorities to check whether something is pending and prioritise it before deporting someone. Maybe not a final decision but the border authority being able to say “yeah this looks fine on first sight go ahead they’ll send you a letter later”. If you’re incompetent at least have the decency to be lenient.
Hmm yeah
I’m positive I’ve read an article about British subjects being kicked out of where they had lived in Spain for years.
Any other source than that rag?
It is not the most elegant of sources, but it gives some explanation and cases. It also looks like it mostly effects second-home owners and tourists who have overstayed the 90-day period. In general, if applied for a residency, and lived in the EU for a while there is a small chance of being kicked out. Local conditions may apply, like a certain income in Spain.
About 4,000 EU citizens are denied entry to Britain every quarter.
But how many Brits are affected?
