She is terribly worried about Brexit, she’s worried about how the Spanish will treat her, and so are many of the 2.5 million or so people that live in the EU in retirement. Does the NHS want them back? I don’t think so. Many are already bailing out and coming back.
2.5 million? Are you sure?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46841041
A quarter of those are retired, according to this:

I make that to be about 325k, not 2.5m

It will hardly go tits up for them, sorry to disappoint.
Their presence in those countries is valued as they bring a lot of money in. Hence PM Antonio Costa and the British lanes at Portuguese Airports.
Our PM Costa has guaranteed it will be no negative change for Brits and yes, special lanes. Their presence in those countries is valued as they bring a lot of money in. Hence PM Antonio Costa and the British lanes at Portuguese Airports.
Portugal relies heavily upon tourism and while it has been very successful of late in attracting large numbers from other countries, it won't alienate the Brits who have been a bedrock historically.
All those from the UK newly living here now get 5 year residency permits as standard to take them straight to the Citizen status application once they've been here that long.
Portugal lost a lot to emigration. They are offering all sorts of incentives to encourage Portuguese Citizens to return and for foreigners to make it their home. Brexit won't cause any issues whatsoever here.
The Algarve region in particular caters to many nationalities, including shops having produce from all over Europe. Yep, we have a British Supermarket too, Portuguese shop there, not just Brits on holiday or locals. In the UK, I generally just went to Sainsbury's or Tesco, whichever was closest. Here, I use 4 or 5 different ones to get a huge variety from local to international. Great stuff.
Anyway, that's Portugal, not sure about Spain but can't see it being much different there.

According to the Telegraph the mob of shouting anti-Brexit protestors were arranged ten yards in front of the podium, but Remainer posters somehow think this is normal for a press conference and that it could have gone ahead with that level of noise being picked up by microphones.
Just calculated ritual humiliation that wont have changed the views of the dedicated on both sides but might have got a few in the middle wondering why the PM of tiny Luxemburg gets to gleefully insult the British PM with impunity.

Is it really that simple? No deal will mean no deal on S1 system. I assume residency does not give you rights to health care. I assume citizenship will but I assume that will require a language test.

In Spain there is an additional problem. Spain is one of the few countries which does not allow dual citizenship. So you have to give up your UK citizenship making return difficult.

Hitler was the son of a lowly worker who failed to complete school .. BJ is from a wealthy upper class family .. was educated at Eton and studied classics
One is clearly from the elite .. one not

The Spanish government has already stated in March this year that the reciprocal health care system between the UK and Spain will continue when Brexit occurs.In Spain there is an additional problem.

Spain wants the Brits to stay, their health care system benefits from the UK paying for it.

I doubt that there’s any profit to be had from providing state healthcare to elderly ex-pats, but I could be wrong. Spain wants the Brits to stay, their health care system benefits from the UK paying for it.
