As with many of your posts, Morgan, I’m afraid you need to make your sarcasm much more obvious. I mean, there’s Daily Express readers out there to consider, for instance. (Pero gracias por la risa.)
Oh boo hoo, while I have every sympathy for those that have moved to Spain post Brexit. Those that have lived here for many years have had ample opportunity to get their lives (and documentation) in order, but now choose to cry woe is me because they opted to bury their heads in the sand or live “under the radar”. Us poor Brits are being penalized. No, Britain voted for Brexit and are out of the EU. Get over it or get back to Blighty.
It's too much hassle to get a Spanish driving licence. You have to do stuff. And pay money too. We didn't come here to do stuff and pay for things. Ridiculous. I'll be freeloading elsewhere from now on. Now you'll be really sorry.
Hardly surprising, look at the backlog in the UK, and that is with illegal immigrants, we do not hear about the millions of EU people who enter UK legally, they have to go through just as many hoops as ex-pats here in Spain. Time Spain and UK woke up and made some form of agreement, however, it increases employment, so don't hold your breath!
