Wonder how many of their lordships are also thinking of their retirement in the sun?

It's a tricky issue. There are lots of expats living in EU countries and other UK citizens planning to. But, from evidence in Cyprus, many just want to make a little England in the sun, don't want to integrate, learn the language, they demand discounts because they are expats. (I also know there are those who are the opposite to this so it's not everyone.)

Common sense says that we want free movement and rights for "good" people who will benefit the host nation but not the "bad" people who want to "exploit" (quotes as this could mean different things). We all know what we mean but this has to then be framed legally and it's then we get issues so some "good" people are "denied" while "bad" get away with it.
