  1. Brits love any country other than their own. All the foolish liberals jacked the place up with migrants now no one wants to live there , so they all end up in bars drinking their lives away in Costa Blanca. Luckily Benidorm has tattoo parlors and piercing shops. Who could blame them, England is finished for the most part, won’t be long for sharia law to take hold. Oh whoops, am I not supposed to be talking bad about migrants. Oh I’m sorry, don’t come looking for me, im outta your reach thankfully. Anyway you brits enjoy Spain with its 89% white majority and very few Muslims just learn to vote better, you don’t want Spain becoming England. Hasta Luego!
