Mark Smith, who has severe health issues, says he was told three times he needed to do nothing in order to remain after Brexit. I personally doubt that, since there has been very clear legislation regarding exactly this situation.

There’s nothing in the article suggesting any of the people facing deportation voted in favour of brexit, is there? This doesn’t feel like LAMF.
But the tone of all the people quoted in the article… holy shit. Big “these rules should not apply to British people” energy.
This is basically the attitude to Brits abroad: they think they are a special class who can do anything they want.
Because the withdrawal agreement was that these rules would not apply to British people already resident in the EU, just as EU citizens resident in the UK.
Not sure who to believe here
Initially Sweden advised UK nationals that no registration was necessary. They have recently changed their minds and “forgot” to tell them.
Considering the deadline was 2021, I’m not sure I’d characterize this as a recent change of heart.
Do you have any source for this? I’m having a tough time finding anything supporting your claim that Sweden has changed their position on this since brexit came into effect.
I can easily find bombastic claims from pro-brexit talking heads unilaterally asserting that the EU will continue to extend every privilege in a post brexit world, but I suspect it’s possible they were not actually deriving those assurances from discussions with the governments which they claimed they were speaking on behalf of.
