What does Brexit now mean for us ?

Wilson. It is difficult to know if we would have been better or worse off had we not been members of the EU. We certainly used to get ripped off on mobile phone charges until the EU put a stop to it. Then I remember the Spanish Government charging Brits more tax each year than they did the locals. Yes the EU put a stop to that also. Then there is the compensation on delayed or cancelled flights which was down to the EU. Distant selling regulations were also introduced to protect the guy in the street. There have in fact been loads of laws introduced by the EU to improve the working guy's lot.

The freedom of movement allowed Brits to have second homes on  mainland Europe and supplied the UK with cheap car washing. The Eastern Europeans certainly need to hold their heads in shame coming over to the UK and actually doing a day's work. Believe me much as they have tried they will not encourage some Brits to change habits of a life time. Joking apart the EU was not all bad and who on earth can we now blame.

Plenty of people bought and lived in houses in Spain before we entered the EU

Seems to be very difficult for some UK people who are now residents to get back in with numerous reports of people denied boarding even with correct documents.
Some who’ve left paperwork in Spain won’t be allowed in so not sure what’s the way forward for them

Derek my post was primarily about the 50 or so million UK citizens who aren’t as lucky as you and I have been in life. Whilst undoubtably the EU did bring in many laws that benefited me, it bought as many that didn’t. I notice that the eu went quiet over Ryanair’s shenanigans since March.

I wonder how much of it was luck or the result of doing a day's work. Opportunities are out there, even today, for people to make a crust but the trouble is some can only see the problems and miss the opportunity. Sometimes a helping hand is all that is needed.
