could see over a million burdensome pensioners back from Spain when we
leave the EU?


In what way burdensome if they come back to the UK, or do you mean they
are a burden now.


Now, to Spain as they are old and statically going to be a higher
burden on the medical system, even if not financially if they bill our
NHS (and not be paying NI) etc?

You mean the ones who claim a UK state pension ?


That and 'burdening' their / our heath systems (physically).

Would they then spend that money here.


The money they lose when getting out of Spain you mean?

Keeping the money in the UK
economy (Trickle down: Keynesian economics).


As they ****ed away all the 'spare' cash they gained from selling up
in the UK and buying cheaper places in (say) Spain, if they can sell
their places at all, they will come back with far less than they went
out with and so likely to end up under some sort of support / benefit
system.
