Nothing like the worthless billions of extra pounds and dollars the UK and US are printing. One of the disadvantages of the Euro is the individual countries don't own the currency and can't do the same.

They will find work in UK simply because they are prepared to work, not like Brits who will sit on their backsides and collect their state benefits. If they are leaving Spain it really is because there is NO WORK.

Not only are they prepared to work but it also seems that they are happy to be exploited. 'The webpage also talks about Wilson Andrade who has a lorry driver in Alicante until May 2011. Now he shares a 5m2 room with a Nicaraguan in London where he obtained work as a cleaner, working from 4am to 10pm for 400 pounds a week. The article doesn't say 'and pays tax' I wonder what the answer to that would be??

Fortunately Britain is not a third world country and these sort of conditions are long over - but not for immigrants it seems who are happy to accept them.

The bulls that gored two Brits at Pamplona yesterday were from Medina Sidonia, just up the road from me!

That's why I always stick to the footpaths ...

I doubt that they are happy to be exploited.
I would imagine they'd be delighted to receive a decent salary!

IVA (VAT) is going up from 18 to 21% next year. The reduced rate (most foodstuffs, public transport etc) is going up from 8 to 10%. The super-reduced rate (basic foods like bread, medicines etc) is held at 4%.

Last week Rajoy denied there would be an increase. No wonder nobody trusts politicians.
