So they just made up thousands of locals protesting in the steers then?

Brexit
‘Taking back control’… like Spain appear to be doing, even while they remain in and benefit from the EU. Odd our lot could never manage that.
This is in danger of straying into the Delta Quadrant Forbidden Zone.
Irish are going to send people back who have come over the border now so people are risking their lives on small boats getting to Dover getting a ferry over the Belfast then crossing back over the border again to the eu and now they are going to send them back. You literally couldnt make this stuff up!
Anyway, isn’t the forum supposed to be a politics free zone?
Never liked confrontation. Deflect the situation.. so... I kissed her in the fog and missed.
Is that a euphemism??!
I hate brass instruments...
Do you mean bum hole
Get thee behind me Santa
That's what she said
Unfortunately, as a result the "British Idiots" spoil it for everyone else. Their ideal holiday seems to consist of drinking as much alcohol as possible, from as early in the holiday as possible (airport departures), being as loud as possible, disregarding local rules and customs, expecting everyone to understand their version of "English", only eating "English" food in themed pubs and complaining about things.
I think a lot of local government in Spain is, or was, quite corrupt.
One plus point of them remaining in their all-inclusive
Self catering and touring away from the populist holiday hot-spots is good for local economies, supporting local, often family run, businesses, local bars, cafes and restaurants etc.
Like a lot of ”problems” local politicians blame people from somewhere else for it.
Most politicians don’t really have the ability / power / time to solve problems so the next best option is to make sure someone else is the focus of the voters anger.
If they were honest no one would vote for them as the “opposition” will of course make grandiose promises.
It’s a tale as old as time.
I remember a few years back witnessing an English guy getting v annoyed with a Spanish waiter, in Spain, as the waiter didn’t know what “lager” was. As soon as the English guy said “beer” the problem was solved

We never go all inclusive or a package holiday.
We always rent the apartment buy the flights then eat out twice a day when we’re there and spend money in the shops and bars.
Bottom line it costs me £5k for my family holiday.
There’s no way I’m going to be spending that money somewhere where a huge portion of the locals don’t see me as welcome.
I’m not expecting to be served hand and foot but I definitely want a friendly atmosphere on my holidays.
I totally get why the locals aren’t happy but this situation of there being fewer and fewer properties for the locals to rent because it’s more profitable to rent them to tourists is not the tourists fault.
They should be protesting about the shameful way their government has let this situation happen and Lobby for changes so that the huge income generated by tourism actually goes back into their economy and not abroad.
Again SFA to do with the tourists.
This, sadly, is the mentality of many people; chap goes to Spain and gets very annoyed at a Spanish chap who works in Spain, because the chap didn't understand English.I remember a few years back witnessing an English guy getting v annoyed with a Spanish waiter, in Spain, as the waiter didn’t know what “lager” was.

What a specimen.
I'm 62 now but in my early 20s I was a british idiot doing all of the above I moan about them now, but had a great time then and I bet there,s people on here that did the same we're not all boring old farts.
