Re: Under the radar? Be afraid, (some) be VERY afraid!

I think the above quote makes it a bit clearer for you. The British have been singled out for treating outsiders as second class citizens.

Re: Under the radar? Be afraid, (some) be VERY afraid!

It seems unbelievable that the UK is being highlighted for its negative treatment of 'outsiders' in comparison with Spain.

I wonder how many members have ever seen a 'black' or even a 'non white'...

Re: Under the radar? Be afraid, (some) be VERY afraid!

I agree but at the same time disagree.

Agree, it is not a huge contribution to the GDP, but at a local level in can hit hard at businesses that cater for the expat market.

Re: Irish Passport

When applying for a first time adult passport through the foreign birth register, is it necessary to send off your British passport?

Re: Covid travel rules will include 'Stanley Johnson loophole' for second homes

It all boils down to whether Spain lets them in.
It is not up to Boris who enters Spain.

It could be possible, but until Spain give out their conditions, I can't see any big rush of bikini buying.
