    As someone who is British, not the drunken type. You couldn’t pay me enough to go to Benidorm. I cannot see how you can have your cake and eat it. The areas like Benidorm are actively selling this environment because they know it attracts certain types of idiots who will pay for it.

    Air BnB is a plague that should be only done under license imo. I have a lot of sympathy for those who live near them. In the UK if someone is causing grief because of business being ran in populated area, then there are options to have that business removed. I would hope Spain has the same functions.

    Air Bnb is causing issues in a lot of rural areas in the UK. Wales is looking seriously at the option of charging tourism taxes. This will have a big impact on those who have bought houses just to lease them as Air BnB. I personally think that any valid police call outs should be charged to the owners of Air BnB. I do not see why the community should pay the costs of policing when someone is reaping the benefits.


  • This would cause such a shit storm that the Tories would never been seen as a credible option again. ECHR is embedded into the Good Friday Agreement. This would throw the whole process up in the air. That would antagonise not only the EU but the US also. They have been threatening this since Johnson. I could easily believe they are crazy enough to go through with it right at the end of their term. Labour would put us straight back in again.

    Inews has done an article on just this. It looks like they want to finish off the job of smashing the country to pieces before they are kicked out.




  • Johnson did not need a riot, they actually have control of most offices and are manipulating the environment. Something Trump could not do so easily in the US.

    Right to protest laws are non- existent in the UK now. There were attempts to take over the judicial system. They actually taking the electoral commission under government control. they have been using public money for campaigns in by-elections. They stopped any investigation into Russian interference. It is known the Tories take donations from Russian sources. The audit office declared government fraud at £55b last year, our PM refuses to investigate. We have a PM that has just gave licenses to oil companies, who in turn gave £1b to his family’s company infosys. International law being ignored to fuel yet more populism.

    They really do not need to set off a riot here.








  • No politics is very subjective. Look at the news from Russia in the last few days. That was highly political, and yet very much news everyone had an interest in. Trump’s ongoing indictment is another political game being played, and yet most want to know about it. It is a difficult one to navigate. Me personally I would say politics that has an effect on the people of a nation is news. Inter-party shenanigans is not news for anyone but those who take an avid interest.




  • I don’t think anyone minds people buying fly crap with a currency that has no credible base. What galls people is when we loose billions of dollars from the world economy from a group of con artist with no restraint in how low they would have gone. Or how we have morons racing to earn cash by running climate killing mining rigs.
