Better than a No Deal or not?

There is majority support for EU membership amongst public in both Greece and Italy.
Greece never left following crisis because it needs the EU and couldn't afford to leave.
Whilst the Euro concept is deeply flawed, Greece and Italy both have economics issues aside from the Euro.
What about all these expats who have retired to the sunnier parts of Europe, hopefully they will be given citizenship and not have to return to the UK.
As most of these expats are from the older generation, any mass return could put huge strain on the NHS and the social services, not to mention the danger to the general public by hordes of suntanned geriatrics on mobility scooters using the footpath to get to the estate agents or local council in an effort to find somewhere to live.

Blimey Europe is awash with British x pats who have lived in places like Spain for 20 odd years

and the lack of tetley rea bags and baked beans My cousin and her family sold up their property in London a good few years ago, they moved to Spain to retire, she lives in in one of them little enclaves where all her neighbours are retired expats, she says she has more English neighbours than she had living in London.
Asked if she would ever return to London, she said , No ****ing way, to many foreigners there now.

No doubt Spain and Greece are contemplating the same problem.
The greeks with out a doubt its the EU holding centre for all the migrants trying to get to france
Germany
They have sort of been abandoned by Northern EU members
The Good thing from Spains point of view is that a lot of these expats bring cash with them , maybe the UK could do a deal with countries like Spain to take the UK's elderly population thereby relieving the social services of a burden.
care of the elderly is an expensive business, as you've found
a few years will erode a lifetime's savings.
perhaps the extended families of British migrants will take them into their homes.
otherwise, the country of their citizenship can take them back.
If the Brexiteers are happy with Johnson's deal that would be a good thing.
Once national honour has been satisfied people won't feel so antagonistic towards Europe.
When common sense takes hold and the public don't feel that they are being dictated to by foreigners , they will start rebuilding links with Europe and Europe will reciprocate because it will be in a spirit of mutual self interest rather than the perceived unequal relationship which existed previously.

Surely they'll have to be.
They'll start saying this is what they wanted all along, and they never wanted what they were promised in the Brexit campaign.
