Post-Brexit paperwork gaps put elderly Britons in Sweden at risk of deportation

Three elderly or incapacitated British long-term residents in Sweden face deportation over missed post-Brexit residence permits. Horace Mason, 74, must leave by 20 August; Joyce Thomas, 78, is also targeted. Kathleen Poole, who had Alzheimer's, died in care after a 2023 removal threat. Migration courts are granting humanitarian exceptions narrowly, treating decades of residence and advanced dementia as insufficient grounds to stay.
