Spain, like a lot of EU countries requires registration of EU citizens under freedom of movement rules after 90 days. At this point they have to show that they are either working, reasonably expected to get work or be self supporting. If none of these apply, you're out. I had to do this when I worked in an EU country for 4 months.
The UK never used these rules even though we could have.
The UK immigrants who are being thrown out because they didn't register so there's no evidence that they were resident in Spain before we left.
