Firstly, fuck the Express and fuck that site in particular, turned my phone’s screen into Times Square.
While the article doesn’t mention their 2016 voting, I’d love to see a Venn diagram of those who had the means and bought property in the EU, and those who had voted to leave. I suspect they’d not be far off a circle.
I feel genuinely sorry for the outliers (edit: assumed outliers) who believed in the EU’s ideals and wanted property for whatever reason - work, family, whatever - and are getting horsed by the Blue Passport Gang.
Anecdotally, a good friend of mine has British parents who moved to northern France, voted to leave, and are now shocked that new and harsher rules could possibly apply to them. The most frustrating part is that they’re absolutely blind to the prospect that they might just have pissed on their own chips. It’s genuinely saddening to see people put two and two together, and come up with “someone else’s fault”.
