Greg Walter, from Winchester, says he feels betrayed as he and his partner are struggling to get visas to live in Italy
“People who had second homes in Europe, or planned to buy one, were never given the correct information on the vote outcome.”
Or they lived in a dream land where they thought rules wouldn’t apply to them.
“It should only hurt those pesky immigrants, not us white folks”
I want to add an /s, but I’m pretty sure this is the actual thought process for a good percentage of Brexiteers.
All the while being an
immigrantexpat. Migrant only applying to non white people.
I mean, looking at information for any other country outside the EU would have given them an idea of what to expect.
In the Trump era we felt like we were taking crazy pills. The amount of obvious idiocy they peddle is just astounding. Our friends in Italy here fell for the con, and now they’re screwed. Historically one would learn from these mistakes, but the world’s right wing insists there’s nothing to learn from. Being right wing, our friends here will no doubt agree.
It will never not be mind boggling how they thought they could leave the EU and nothing would change. What do they think the EU is for?
Every time they say that they weren’t told something I think about how as someone barely paying attention from he US that they are complaining about something that would be an obvious result of leaving the union.
Something something bendy bananas.
I worked as a customs expeditor for a while. The utter stupidity of the brexit debate and many an ardent brexiteer came close to giving me an aneurysm on a weekly basis. I mean, we all know people are pretty dumb. I’m really dumb too when it comes to plenty of subjects.
But to hear politicians coming out with some of the stuff they came out with. A country run by crayon eaters. And not just stupid, but agressively stupid. Really putting the effort into becoming dumber by the day. “We’ve had enough of experts!”
I suppose the silver lining was that I was entirely undissapointed when covid hit and similarly high level geniuses came out of the woodwork.
Honestly, some people deserve applause even if they fail to wash their hands after taking a shit. At least they’re not licking them clean like an inbred poodle. I mean, they should wash their hands, but my expectations have been lowered by hard won experience.
Just because you are told something it doesn’t mean you can rely on it.
It’s clear that leaving the EU would mean new treaties between the UK and EU and it is obvious that immigration rules would change. There were many people saying many different things about how they would change, but if he had just tried to apply some logic he should have come to the conclusion that, at best, his right to live in the EU was at risk.
Project fear somehow still ongoing. Nobody saw that coming. NOBODY!!
I mean good, right? I hope it continues to hurt them in ways people said it would while they continue to vote with tories
