Are the British 4th world citizens since Brexit? I see many non EU citizens coming and going, staying as long as they want, clearly not adhering to the 90/180 rule, it would seem without any control. Are we just being punished for Brexit and Gib?

Really? You see many? Yet the chat sites from the US and Canada are full of those who have been fined for overstaying in Schengen whilst I've only seen one on a Brit site and that was after several months.

Brits being punished is simply playing the victim card. EU in general and Spain in particular bent over backwards to help Brits retain their rights in Europe. Letters were sent, adverts in all the papers (Brit free ones especially) and countries being told to set up schemes to assist the Brits in any way they could. 

The "punishment" bit comes from UK press and especially the Mail and Express. 

Would be grateful for any real stories about these "many" non EU overstaying the 90 days in 180.

The border-free Schengen Area guarantees free movement to more than 400 million EU citizens, along with non-EU nationals living in the EU or visiting the EU as tourists, exchange students or for business purposes (anyone legally present in the EU). The UK referendum made it clear that the voters would "give up" those rights. (did they not?) V

I have read various articles on the fourth dimension, the relativity theory of Einstein, and other psychological speculation on the constitution of the universe; and after reading them, I feel as if I had been wandering with Alice in Wonderland and had tea with the Mad Hatter.

Does the 4th world exist, possibly but the jury is out šŸ˜

I still believe we are living in a video game controlled/played by some superior race.

Thousands of years before "paranoia" was "invented", the human race invented, divisional religion. V
