UKIP is it.

Or it would be if they had the balls to come out and say what they believe. They know they'd get gunned down in minutes by the "liberal" (read: socialist) media that - get this - we pay for. Look forward to the day, coming soon, when the licence fee gets turned off, THEN we'll see a level playing field where opposing views can be aired and compete fairly in a market economy, like America. Turn off the NHS as well and let people pay for what they WANT to pay for - anything else is Nanny State-ism which is, literally, a form of imprisonment.

Other than that I've travelled mind, spent over a year in Doncaster area for a start - even met royals and the odd commissar. Funny old thing - get rid of one lot and an identical set take over.

Many posters on here enjoy the luxury of having some say in their own lives, whereas the horde tend to find it easier to do as directed and willingly hand all decision making over to authority. As a result some end up with a dozen kids and annual trips to Kenya to help them destress from having to go to collect DHSS benefit - but an awful lot live modestly, claim rather less than legally entitled to, and are worse off under any system than those of us who enjoy a good lifestyle.

There's never been a system that was actually fair as far as I know, I encourage all members at this time of year to reflect on how life might have gone - every government is composed largely of clowns, enjoy your power to avoid their worst excesses!

Happy Christmas to one and all, as I believe Tiny Tim (the Dickens version, not the chap with the ukelele from 40 years ago) used to say.

I came to Spain 40 years ago and never regretted it but I integrated into the Spanish society, and now have three kids and two grandchildren. I have known retirees who have come out to live and they have all gone home after a few years. I think that they get lonely for their friends and relatives. As far as having a second home is concerned and travelling to and from, we have had a couple of flats down the coast and sold both of them. When you go for the weekend they have to be cleaned up, aired out. What kind of holiday is that? I have enough with my first home!

We are free of second homes, now. Get in the car and stay in a hotel or, in your case, maybe, fly out - fantastic value these days- and, perhaps hire a car for a few days. Just think of the freedom you have to choose where to go!
