Another group who were lied to

At the end of the month, next week, about 500 Britons who made Spain their retirement home will be deported back to the UK because they did not complete the required paperwork to stay or don't mee the criteria.

One couple who set to be forced back to England were reported as declaring, "I voted to leave, but didn't think it would affect us. My wife is in tears".

I would laugh, but I won't.

There people, and hundreds like them, were told a Vote for Leave would not affect them. And indeed had the UK kept freedom of movement, it wouldn't have, but dogma trumped reality, and this is where we are.

Funny how Brits living in Spain are expats, but EU citizens living her are migrants or immigrants.

It will be spun to blame Spain of the EU, but it is May and Johnson who defined Brexit this way, and the EU would have the same rules as the UK for UK citizens living in those 27 countries. Blame the liars not the lied to.

But listen to the experts who said this would happen, and even this year when this group were told what would happen they lived in denial.

So it goes, so it goes.

Don't worry though, despite your pain and heartbreak, Johnson's chums have made billions, so silver lining and all that.
