lol, just been on the news. Esperanza Aguirre received a parking ticket for parking in a bus lane, she then tried to dispute the ticket, got angry when they told her it is what it is so she then got in her car, hit the police motorcycle and sped off leaving the police to chase her home where she then told her security to go out and deal with it.

I'm pretty sure if this had been you or I then we'd have been dragged down to the station for it.

You mean after they'd dragged us up a back alley and beat the crap out of us first.

Apparently, according to her, the motorbike was parked very badly.........so that excuses what she did and continued to drive away from the scene whilst having the police in pursuit of her!?

I hope she didn't call the police "plebs"...

There are some who admire her, both in Spain and in London it seems..

I am not a British expat, but I felt the need to join this web to express my huge disappointment with our politicians, they are arrogant, corrupt and ugly also.
can you, kind foreign people understand our dislike for them?

I lived in London many years ago, and I cannot say that English politicians are perfect but they are substantial differences in the way democracy is perceived by the public, in fact a while ago a politician and his ex wife paid a fine for lying when he was driving and asked his wife then, to lie for him, besides they were put in prison for some months and the rest of their conviction they were under house arrest.

COME ON! WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THEM?
