What a complete disaster. Of course I am talking about Brexit which has changed the lives of thousands of British expats in Spain and also long-term holidaymakers and holiday home owners.
The infamous 90 day rule has hit British holiday home owners hard and buying a property in Spain has now got even harder. Even though we were promised an export-led British economy it is now much harder to buy British products in Spain and the amount of red tape for Britons living in Spain has increased. The British economy is in recession, the extra cash promised for the National Health Service has not materialised and Britain, sadly, has become a laughing stock on the European continent.
I don’t blame all those who voted to leave the European Union. I blame Mr. Boris Johnson and Mr. Nigel Farage, who effectively steamrolled Britain into Voting Leave. And where are the instigators of Brexit now? Johnson has disappeared from the political landscape and Farage has become a TV pundit. Where is the brave new world they promised? Where is this new golden era? Why aren’t they still backing Brexit at every moment? It is a sad state of affairs.
All I hope is that the next British government tries to reverse the decision.
