    No they haven't got wealthier. More working poor, more temp contracts.

      1. Quarter of Spains revenue is spent on servicing its debt. 105% GDP.
      According to the world bank Spain's revenue spent on servicing debt is 15% not 25%. Where did you get your information from, the Daily wail?

      Interest payments (% of revenue) | Data

      How can we take the rest of your points when false facts are used to support your argument?

        Ken. Seems some continue to ignore the bad.

              Nice headline, but public debt is now 100% of GDP, and still rising, and guess where most of it is owed to?

              (It's the ECB, btw, in case you were struggling, so I hope the Germans are happy to carry on working their nads off to subsidise the Spanish economic miracle, and the Greek one, and the Italian one, and the Portuguese one...)

                Those who can't afford their own healthcare insurance will have to return to the UK, but the wealthy ones (and there are loads of them) will be fine.

                  Woah 100% now? It was well over that last year. Moving in the right direction.

                  Meanwhile UK debt to GDP is continuing to rise...

                      Scooter, first off you should not just accept my points, question them and the articles you read.

                      Regarding debt payments search the ft, remember you have to pay interest AND and an agreed amount. So a graph with interest payments is only half the story.
