That will help you evade the Spanish deportation squads. https://twitter.com/QuislingT/status/1370778607199608834 Imagining Spanish police just walking behind a gaggle of overweight gammons as they waddle away from a bar cradling their pints. Wait a minute for them to get tired then slap on the xxl cuffs.

I know it’s not a 1-1 analogue, but isn’t that like if a bunch of rude, racist Texans voted for Texas to secede, won the vote, and then moved to Mexico? I just don’t understand, why vote leave and then move? what is the cultural touchstone im missing?

Being in the EU made it incredibly easy for them to retire to Spain while still being able to fly back home for special occasions. Since their entire worldview was fed by right-wing anti-EU propaganda they voted to leave in order to make Britain a sovereign country once again, with powers to keep all the brown people out. Being sovereign citizens of God's Own Country and descendants of an empire that once spanned the globe, they never dreamt that other countries might regard them as immigrants.

Ironically Spain can do this because EU countries have sovereignty over who they allow into their territory. Meanwhile with a massive drop in the number of EU citizens legally allowed to work in post-Brexit Britain, the UK will likely have to loosen immigration restrictions on migrant workers coming from actual brown people countries to make up the shortfall.

But still didn't want to move back because the weather's poo poo and everything costs more.

Eh, they kinda don't, but they have some power over residences and visas outside the normal schengen route. And I'm not even talking about EU citizens here, there's little if almost none sovereignity to prevent those. e: Effectively there's a required minimum of sorts with regards to residences, visitors, refugees and work and family visas, including their portability across schengen. The UK did get in trouble for skirting that in the past, because of course it did. Private Speech has issued a correction as of 13:04 on Mar 15, 2021 |

Early in the 21st Century, right wing media advanced Gammon evolution into the BREXIT phase - a Gammon virtually indistinguishable from a glazed wet sack of bread After the dumbest referendum in human history, Gammons were declared illegal in Spain - under penalty of deportation. Special police squads - GAMMON RUNNER UNITS - had orders to arrest, upon detection, any trespassing Gammon. This was not called deportation. It was called karma.

Now its become very recognisable to me.

IIRC it turned out he wasn't carrying any kind of bag and didn't jump the barrier. The only evidence was that he was running to catch a train and had "Mongolian eyes".

Clyde Radcliffe posted:Spain is to English boomers what Florida is to American boomers. And because of this a lot of Leave-voters (in the UK and those actually living in the rest of the EU) had little to no idea what the EU actually did or was responsible for. They thought that the EU was just about enforcing the metric system, giving us straight bananas and forcing us to give 'hooman rights' to criminals and 'illegals'. A bunch of them just weren't aware that it was the EU that also allowed them to move to Spain as easily as moving to a different county in Inger-land, and was responsible for them being able to receive Sky and make phone calls and get Jameson's sausages and so on and on and on. And of the ones that were aware that the EU was actually behind these sorts of thing, a good portion fell for (or enthusiastically embraced...) the rhetoric about how we were going to get the Best Deal Ever and They Need Us More Than We Need Them and all that poo poo, so none of this Project Fear stuff would actually happen It builds on the usual dangerous mix of British exceptionalism crossed with Boomerism where nothing bad can ever happen to you and all your life the system has basically worked to fulfill your every whim. Related anecdote: Last year I got a gig putting my sailing skills to good use when someone needed a couple of crew to help get his sailing yacht from Malta to Gibraltar (he had spent years living on the boat drifting around the Med and was now essentially fleeing to a British port before Brexit and national lockdowns took effect). The guy was a platonic ideal gammon - from Yorkshire, in his 60s, ex military, had set himself up in the building and landlord business, made a small fortune and had this boat and a house in Spain. From the times when conversation skirted into the subject he was very, very keen on Brexit. The plan was to do the trip non-stop, but the forecast wind never arrived so we had to make two unplanned calls in ports along the way for food and fuel. The first was in Algeria, and the owner/skipper got really angry at the very notion that Algeria would require customs and immigration checks on a foreign boat randomly turning up in one of its major ports. The harbour master looked like Alexei Sayle and was friendliness personified (we weren't allowed to leave the port but he went across the road to a bakery to buy us spicy pastries) and the customs, police and navy guys who came aboard to do the paperwork were officious but perfect polite, especially given the language barrier (Captain Gammon of course didn't speak any French or Spanish and had gently mocked me for attempting to learn a few words of Maltese so we had to make do with my C-grade-at-GCSE French and the Algerians' adequate English). Cpt. Gammon went on and on about how it was outrageous that they were treating him like some sort of criminal and that it proved that Algeria was just 'an inherently hostile country'. I did diplomatically try pointing out that if an Algerian-registered boat with three Algerian guys on it turned up unannounced in Felixstowe you can bet the Border Force, HM Coastguard etc. would at best give them exactly the same treatment we'd had. I also thought (but didn't say) that he was almost certainly the sort of person to want Very Strong Controls On Immigration and people pitching up in boats on British shores. A week later when we stopped in Spain there were no customs checks, just a quick look at the passports and taking down the boat's name on the harbour register...because Spain is in the EU and at the time the UK was still in the transition period. "See, that's how it should be, no fuss, no hostility, just a welcome" beamed Cpt. Gammon. I did try and point out that it was because of the EU and not because the Hispanic Peoples are inherently more friendly than whatever slur he'd chosen for the Algerians that day but didn't press the point as I still had to spend another four days afloat in a 46-foot plastic box with him Anyway, he was already climbing over the railing and making a beeline for a British pub bedecked with Union Jacks so he could watch Sky and have a Full English...
