These types are always the biggest hypocrites, she has zero self awareness.

*”We lost our rights, freedom of speech went! I had enough, I ain’t doing it no more. I’m off.”*
I really don’t understand what people are getting at when they spout this rhetoric, what rights or freedom of speech have we lost?
The “Britain has fallen” narrative is such snowflakery despite the biggest purveyors being the most likely to say “you can’t say anything nowadays”

These people are just poor and racist
They’d rather say ‘Britain has gone to shit’ rather than to just admit they don’t have enough money to retire here

I recently moved to spain and joined some ‘expat” groups, to potentially look for work and it honestly has some gems. People getting angry at being called an immigrant, brits complaining that spain shouldn’t be in the EU ans it’s only in the EU to get “handouts” , complaining about immigrants in Spain (the brown ones) and in the UK , saying they left the UK cus it’s too left wing (like literally completely unaware spain is one of the most left wing countries in europe) and posting British style Nimby shit, Trying to oppose housing building or infrastructure around their golf villas or whatever. (BTW this doesn’t work in spain at all) they’re a joke and you have to laugh at them

If you are an immigrant in a foreign country you don’t get to complain about immigrants in your home country.
I bet she doesn’t think she is an immigrant because she’s an “expat”. FFS.

I thought this quote was good:
“David Head, a translator, added: ‘She’s a foreigner in Benidorm, yet she complains of too many foreigners in UK. Such minds gave us Brexit.’”
The irony is that these people have a point, at one level. The UK is currently in a tough spot and has been for several years:
– electricity prices among highest in world
– train prices among highest in world
– English student costs highest in world
– housing costs are horrific
– 9 million (21%) are not working and classed as “economically inactive “
– job vacancies are either the lowest for 4 years or 9 years depending on who you believe
– uk national debt interest costs are reaching the highest since the 90s.
Immigration is only part of the problem for these problems. For example, very low rates of house building have led to high housing costs really.
In 1930s Germany, tough economic conditions saw the Nazi party gain popularity. Are we destined to repeat this mistake?

When white English speakers move abroad they are ‘expats.’ When anyone from abroad moves to a predominantly white, English spreaking country they are immigrants. ‘Expats’ genuinely believe they are somehow different to immigrants.

A relative of my SO moved to Spain in the 60s when she herself was in her 60s. She was one of the first Brits to make the Costa Blanca her retirement destination. She learned Spanish before moving, fully embraced local culture and contributed by volunteering.
She didn’t leave Britain because she hated it, she left because she wanted a different experience of life. She lived well into her nineties and so saw the mass invasion of Brits into Benidorm. All of a sudden this critical mass was achieved and everything around her turned into little Britain. ‘Just like Britain but only the bad, people with no manners, no culture and no brains.’ as she wrote in a letter to my SO the year before she died.

This reminded me of that one lady who went to Benidorm and then complained about her hotel having “too many Spaniards” (in the national press no less). Complete lack of self awareness.

What she means is there are too many non white people in the UK. As she is white she can go anywhere and it’s no problem.

I love these. She says ‘foreigners’ but means ‘muslims’. How many millions out there are pretending not to be racist or culturalist?

Does she think that the UK has lost out because she’s moved to Spain?

And people wonder why Spain want to show them the door back to UK.

The reporter should have asked her whether she speaks Spanish and at least challenge her.

COUGH!
What does she think she is classed as in Benidorm? What a flaming HYPOCRITE!

Every time one of her kind leaves, it raises the UK’s average IQ and reduces the number of racists here. I’m all for it.

Bet you anything, come next elections in the UK, she’ll vote for Reform, from the comfort of her Spanish home.

People need to stop thinking in terms of “foreigners” and think more about shared values. It really doesn’t matter where you are from or what language you speak. Are you all good people? Or do you at least try to be? Do you have common sense and courtesy?

I moved to New Zealand because there were too many foreigners in UK. (/S – just in case)
I actually moved over for a job offer, then met my wife here, but it wouldn’t create a decent Daily Mail type headline anywhere.

Marimar_9017 on
Spain is becoming a truly xenophobic country towards both the poor brown-skinned and the rich white-skinned. And many foreigners, including the British, have contributed to this change in attitude.
Now this lady may think she has the right to say this, just like the fool who said a few days ago that she would build her empire by speculating on the housing of Spaniards, but possibly this will change in the future and they will have to leave.
I say all this as a Spaniard who lives near a tourist area and I can see that this is going to explode in some way.

We – and by “we” I mean the native white English – are set to become a minority, in England, by 2041.
But some people think that’s just fine because they don’t believe that we even exist; that there is no such thing as an Englishman or English culture or English traditions. The only reason they believe the Scottish exist is because of kilts and bagpipes. Personally, I for one – insert “Laughs In British” meme. We have been beaten down, but we are still the greatest nation on Earth and always will be.
