And you make it clear that when you attack Europe and Europeans, that's a conversation that Europeans aren't allowed to join.

Britons talk politics, Europeans serve the drinks.

Ends

Again and again. Just in the last few hours

Extraordinary. Because all you do is post about how Europe, our laws, our union, our systems, etc., are wrong and how we're at fault.

I am a Guardian subscriber & I detest any thinly veiled attempts, like @180daysinspain.bsky.social above, to intimidate journalists, on or off a job, of the Guardian or other news outlets.

They want to roam free, work here…all without paying taxes.

Part time residents. There are no such category. It is called privileged tourists. Also in general you can’t work on the visa waiver so either they have an extreme amount of time off or they work here illegally.

Very much so.

All year in Spain, no registration or tax.

“UK passport holders to be admitted visa free for up to six months every time they visit Spain irrespective of time in other countries.”

sounds very much what they really want is:
- 6 months in Spain
- day trip to Gibraltar, France, Andorra, Portugal
- 6 months in Spain
- day trip
Rinse+repeat

Ticket prices released by FIFA this week for the men’s World Cup in 2026 were, on average, 174 per cent higher than projected in the official bid book submitted by the joint United States, Canada and Mexico.

Reform now UK’s largest party after Labour membership collapse Nigel Farage hailed the ‘milestone’ moment as leaked figures revealed Sir Keir Starmer’s party had lost 100,000 members since the general election

Make Brexit work, red lines, anti-immigration rhetoric and Brexit gammon appeasement worked wonders.

Well done Keir Starmer and Labour 🤡

Another new guise in my replies. It seems Andrew Hesselden hasn't given up on have mass campaigns to just improve his own personal situation.

On point 2, that would mean Spain having to leave Schengen, heavily damaging its tourist industry and goods trade, and destroying relations with Europe.

I was commenting on point #1.

But you need to campaign outside No10 in London.

Why he doesn't channel his energies into full-throated campaigning for a successful UK application to join the EU - which would solve his problems - is beyond me. In the meantime, more time-waster accounts to Mute.

I don't think he understands which country is the 'inconsequential' one vis-à-vis EU

I have to say, Bxl did very well in shepherding the UK into the WA and in protecting Europe, our states, our citizens, our values and our rights.

Exceptionalists like Andrew might have lots of fans on Facebook and X when they criticise Europe.

Protecting community was correct.

Ends

On point 1, do we get a say?

Europe drew the line, Andrew.

We aimed to protect Europeans (in NI and in Britain) and Britons who were part of *our* community.

If you were not part of our community, you were not protected. And you were not it seems, Andrew

Number 10 definitely imagines it can blag special treatment.

Wankers.

Well, to made this poor sob happy, we and Spain and EU can sacrifice, innit?
"The good of Andrew is more important than the good of others".😏

Thanks.

Eejits. They give the British community in Spain a bad name.

To do that that you had to show health insurance, proof of residence, and sufficient funds. In Greece that meant tax returns too, even zero ones. Greece had a paper based system of blue and beige cards. The UK never bothered to implement the rules. If they had the result may have been different.

The constant attacks by these people on Europe for doing what was normative and legally sound is destructive.

In any case, to expect nothing to change for them with Brexit was the height of arrogance and stupidity.

Brexit utterly changed the relationship

Europe protected Britons that were part of the community. Indeed without Bxl there would have been nothing.

No, it's being going on since before Brexit and it has continued since. Exceptionalism poisoned the UK's membership, causing it to miss the biggest integration projects, and led to Brexit.

Since then, it has been unable to behave as a normal country vis-à-vis Europe.

Yep.

Ffs re-join or piss off 🙄

Completely disagree. Loads in the UK favour special treatment for Britain, including No. 10, UKG, Best for Britain, Bremain in Spain. And that's before you even get to the press

Exactly. Common visa waivers ia literally how Schengen works.

Once everyone starts doing their own thing on visa waivers, that's the end of Schengen.

And because France has a long land border with Spain wouldn’t point 2 mean reestablishing border controls between France & Spain on the ground?
Do these people think about the consequences of their suggestions? Do these people think?

You can't fix that kind of stupid.....

They don't see themselves as immigrants, They believe "white is right" 🙄 They could just as easily have been tourists TBF....

Imagine been thick enough to live in a foreign country & cosplay a protest against UKGov & boats in the channel...

#YouCantFixStupid

That's a bit crazy alright. Where was that?

Ha, maybe!

Or he is part of the larger belief that special treatment is required to alleviate Brexit.

They're not interested in anything that isn't Spain...... It's ALL about unfettered access to the holiday home......
