      No, I wonder who is going to pay the pension & healthcare bills for the ageing population.

      All I see around me in the land of milk & olive oil are pensioners and fathers, jostling for space with the African immigrants outside Mercadona flying signs for food.

      This was caused by a housing boom. - And a chronic dose of systemic corruption.

      Get on the FR AGP-LBA flight and note how 70% of the passengers are young Spaniards working in Yorkshire in the service industry.

      I predict a mass migration of English University graduates on Wizz Air taking up jobs in Poland. The Polish have already started going back.

        Solution to budget deficit - create state company, build more houses and use value of sales to deal with deficit.



        Simples.

            Scale back Private Residence Relief, but Gidiot would never do that, would he? Not yet, at least.

              There should be no CGT at all on long term ownership - houses or shares, does not matter, long term investment should be encouraged by the tax system.

              Stamp duty should go back to 1% max to encourage mobility.
