As much as I disagree with Brexit I can't see it causing the meltdown in Britain which many suggest. I sincerely doubt that our lives in Spain will be directly affected by Britain's decision to leave the European Union. I do see many hurdles ahead for the British economy but overall I suspect that the lives of expatriate Britons will be very much the same. Britain and Spain will reach an accord which will mean that the many rights which we enjoy at the moment from free health care to employment without a work permit will continue. It must be remembered that thousands of Spaniards live in Britain so the chances of a deal are high.

Good news for all who need reassurance of UK ability to trade outside the EU. The Office Of National Statistics confirms U.K. Exports are twice as high as imports. Britain sells over three times more to the USA than Germany, our biggest trade partner in the EU. Exports are going from strength to trenghth as sales to Aisa increase from £1bn to £7.27bn. UK services and trade are in high demand across the world such as Japan, China and USA. The ONS data concludes the trade to EU is just 36% the remainder going to 54 world countries outside the EU. Good news for all UK citizens.
Your headline " Little to Fear" is misleading. No-one knows exactly what will happen after Brexit . No deals have yet been done. No agreements have been formalised as to the future of either Brits in Europe or Europeans in Britain. I doubt you are privy to any information from the Government Brexit team, so stop waffling on about it until official announcements are made. Giving false hope is as unwelcome as scaremongering.
