Regular readers of this space will know that I am concerned about the status and to some extent the fate of thousands of British citizens living in the European Union, post-Brexit. Over the last few weeks I have made some enquiries about the issue and of course nothing is set in stone and it could be argued that everyone is in the dark. But there is a school of thought, which I subscribe to, which says that British citizens living legally in Spain at the time of Brexit, will be largely unaffected. They may have to replace their green residence certificate with the non-EU residence card, but that is largely it. The only real difference is that it is highly unlikely that British citizens will be able to vote in the local elections.

This is to all the british that are working in our island. You will become illegal aliens soon, so please proceed to the airport and go home to your beloved country you are not welcome here as workers to steal spanish people jobs, specially in the yacht industry. Solidarity with all the spanish workers in UK.
I appreciate what is being suggested in this comment. Many Brits now are closing down their bars,restaurants ,shops.car hire etc. Putting their apartments up for sale, and eventually returning to the UK. The Hotels All Inclusive Tariffs, have destroyed their business and way of life. So , whether they were Legal or Illegal in any way, will not matter for these people, as they will have left the Balearics and Spain.
Any chance of some FACTS Jason? Very poor lazy journalism. "nothing is set in stone" "it could be argued" "a school of thought" "They may have to" "highly unlikely" "could have a problem" "could be judged as illegal"
