Why do you say it will have devastating consequences for Brits in Spain  as long as ex pats are full registered and paperwork in order there is no problem we have lived here for 25 years Spain is our home and always will be  

You're not an "expat" (that's just a made-up word used by British exceptionalists who think they're a bit special.)

You're an economic migrant.

Just like all the other EU citizens who've taken advantage of FoM to move to the UK.

Stan.... Give it a rest.

I think we've all got the measure of you. Wouldn't say boo outside the home. 

But boy when you're home in your little computer room tapping away at the keys. You are a force to be reckoned with 😅

You were amusing at the beginning. He says black, Stan says white. She says white, and surprise, surprise, Stan says black. But now you don't raise even a snigger. We are all bored of your negative, aggressive comments. Be it remainers or leavers. Take a deep breath, open the front door, I know it's scary and leave the computer alone. Merry Christmas Stan💖

I'm over in Spain next week actually and am more than happy to meet up and discuss all this over a coffee.

DM me your details with a time and date and we can set it up.

Good God Stan.

I couldn't think of anything worse...Please.

Oh, or sorry, are you trying to intimate me.

Like I'd be frightened to meet you. Me being a woman and you a scary man.

I'm afraid of noone. I come from a family afraid of noone. So I think I'm doing you a favour by not meeting you in person. 

If you know what I mean.

Be careful who you threatened Stan

(A) It was a genuine offer to discuss this over a coffee.

(B) I'm not "intimating" anything. (Or anyone. Not sure that word means what you think it means.)

(C) Who's "Noone?" The Herman's Hermits fella? Why are you afraid of him? And what's he got to do wth this?

How sorry I am to see how people who disagree become steadily more aggressive to each other. It happens in parliament as the opposing sides become more and more heated. It happens on this forum and it happens in everyday life especially as so many of us are deeply worried about Brexit and many other issues arising from it. 

It boils down to a lack of respect for others coupled to a dogged certainty that "I am right and he is wrong". This is the material from which fights break out and later wars are started - because each is CERTAIN he is right. There's a well known politician who is certain she is right - "Because the people voted". 

The same arguments apply to rigidly held religious views - how may wars have been based on religious differences?

Why not reply to aggression with courtesy and the hand of reconciliation? By understanding why the other is agressive one might learn another small lesson of life.

That's why I offered to buy the coffees.

Yes, but not all overtures of friendship are reciprocated - thus try, try and try again! Or walk away!

I don't want anyone on this forum to get the wrong idea and think that if they've legally been resident here then they won't have a problem. 

If the draft agreement isn't ratified, or other arrangements made, then the majority of us will have a serious problem if we want to continue to be legal residents, as non-EU citizens, by law, need to prove that their income is nearly €26,000 p.a.
