Spain & The UK - Differences With Immigration et al.

Spain is a very large country - the UK is not.
Spain has a much lower population than the UK.
Spain welcomes immigrants with money because they have sunshine whereas in the UK we get very few.

I had this confirmed whilst listening to Spanish local radio yesterday. A councillor was getting excited by the prospect that Russian expats are now moving into the Costa Blanca.
So much for the leftists who are unable to distinguish these obvious differences.
Our leftists have also got to take a huge proportion of the blame for so many people desperate to quit the UK at retirement age - taking their money with them! (It ain't just the sunshine.)
At my house in Spain I look at what I pay for 'rates' - and then what we get back - and there is just no comparison.
Here, we get poor service for astronomically high rates.
There we get pretty good service for peanuts.
