It's highly unlikely that all the 1000's of Brits would get approval to become Spanish citizens, if Britain leaves the EU. It's not just my family
and it's not just Spain - there are 1000's of us expats that would have to return to Britain.
It would also be a lengthy process dealing with all the applications and what would we do in the meantime? We wouldn't be able to continue working
here whilst out applications were processed so we'd either be forced into the black market or have to return to Britain temporarily. Again, not just
my family - 1000's of expats from all over Europe.
How can it be OK for you to say you will 'Up with this we will not put any more' but think other EU countries should still approve us 'foreigners' for
citizenship. It can't be one rule for Brits, wherever they want to live, and one rule for other EU citizens.
I just hope you're right and my family would be able to easily take Spanish citizenship and stay here. I already have Irish citizenship as well as
British (my grandfather married an English woman). My daughter also has Irish and British citizenship plus American because her father is American
(they don't recognise her dual nationality but she has a birth certificate from the US Embassy - she was born in Britain). So I'm citizen of 2
countries, my daughter of 3 - so becoming citizen of another country won't be a problem, if we're allowed. I already consider myself a citizen of the
world and I've lived in many countries. Just settled here in Spain whilst my children grow.
If 1000's of expats are forced to return to Britain then it will probably cost a whole lot more than the "£280,000,000 Per Week for the 'priviledge'
of belonging to the Brussels' Gravy Train." I just hope that someone back there in the UK has thought all that through cause otherwise it could open
an even bigger can o worms!
