I think you need to watch what you are saying  there are people like those on Jeremy Kyle in every country why are you so anti British Not all people voted to come out of the eu

You are spot on, but it should be also noted of the 34 million or so that did vote, there was a democratic majority in favour of leaving the EU. In a democratic society there will always be jubilation and disappointment, that is how the system works. 

I have read where a number of EU State countries are also looking at their options of referenda to leave the EU, Spain being one of them. It seems that the EU is very divided between North and South, the poorer southern countries not getting such as good a deal as the northern richer more affluent ones, just look at unemployment of the youth in countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece. 

I ask, if Spain were to vote to leave the EU, what would those British remainers living in Spain do? Would they support Spain in their democratic decision of self destiny or would they decry it as they do the UK? Would they stay in Spain or would they leave? This is not a hypothetical question as it could happen.

Not certain where you read that other countries - including Spain - are looking at referenda; the Brexiteers Fantasy Weekly possibly.  In Spain there is around 87% support for remaining in the EU and there is no plan at all to hold a referendum on leaving - that is beyond fantasy and into the realms of "utter nonsense" I'm afraid.  Whoever told you that has gravely misled you.

I don't often agree with Jen-jen. In fact, there are times that I wished she was washed up by the sun, the moon or something. But, anti-British she is not. Repeat Jen-jen is not anti-British.

[. . . . and that's it, I'm not going to say another word in favour of Jen-jen]
