I don't do the twitbook 15:51 - Jul 1 with 2952 views | factual_blue | But this was recommended to me yesterday. It's a thoroughly enjoyable read. You can decide if all the details are true or not. The central message is clearly spot on though.
You need to read the whole 'thread', as the twitters call it. [Post edited 1 Jul 2020 15:53]

It doesnt really have the ring of truth to it- but that may be poetic licence rather than it being wholly innaccurate. I have no time for Hartley Brewer- but her comment on the thread seems to have been utterly ignored- which is odd, given that she appears to suggest the whole premise is flawed... | |

That's remarkably generous of her to admit that the case for Brext was based on flawed premises, exaggerations, lies and outright xenophobia... | |

Hartley-Brewer is best ignored in all honesty. | |

She makes the point that the couple supposedly in difficulty can simply apply for a long term visa if they can show they can support themselves... | |

In all fairness, they're Brexiteers living abroad. We're not talking about MENSA applicants who will have made an effort to actually learn about they country they're living here. | |

I know a work colleague had voted to leave and yet was planning to emigrate to Spain Honestly you can't make it up I also know a Brit who lives in Sweden who had voted Leave Where do we get these people from? | |

"Where do we get these people from?" The UK. Which is why I suspect Europe won't miss many of our citizens too much. But sadly we still have to share a country with them. | |

I always wonder what the Spanish think of our emigrants who tend to take over certain areas, install their own businesses and generally try and impart their own culture on the area | |

There are about 1,000 responses to Hartley-Brewer on the thread. Whilst I think it maybe have been amped up for the Twitterati my family live in France and some of the people they know in the ex-pat community have some very peculiar views when it comes to Brexit the myopic idiocy on offer is staggering. My family voted remain just for the sake of clarity. | | | |

The in-laws have been resident in Portugal for five years. Again, some of the British economic migrants over there have been astonishingly thick about the whole thing. Several of them are astounded to discover that they've also been learning how to speak Portuguese as well. [Post edited 1 Jul 2020 18:37]

It's a fair cultural exchange. The Brits get Gaudi, Goya, Iberico ham, Rioja, Cervantes, Velazquez, manchego and tapas. And the Spanish get ham, egg and chips, Carling and karaoke. | |

Think the cost of supporting themselves is massively increased for citizens once we are outside of the EU (medical insurance requirements being one such thing mentioned). | | | |
