Got any evidence for that?

hollow echo

Why so many Brazilians (and elsewhere in the UK) ?. Brazil was never a
British Colony, but is was a Portuguese colony. Somehow large numbers
of South Americans have been given Spanish or Brazilian passports

Presuming you mean "Spanish or Portuguese", you do know that means
they're not Brazilians any more, but are Spaniards or Portuguese...?

No they are still South Americans who have managed to acquire passports
issued by Spain or Brazil, by virtue of some remote colonial link. These
people should only be issued with residency permits for Brazil or Spain,
not EU passports allowing them to move anywhere.

People aren't "just issued" with EU passports. They apply for - and are
granted - citizenship. At that point, they are Spanish (or Portuguese or
wherever) nationality.
