Socialist Spain? No way, Jose

Have these idiots no idea – or don’t they care about the effects such images have on northern Europeans?  The sight of a policeman clubbing a woman is anathema to Scandinavians, Balts and many others. Apart from such action being wrong it is another own goal of many. Between barbaric attitudes towards animals, corruption, complacency in attracting tourists, the land grab and much else, Spain seems to be determined to turn its image abroad to something akin to Communist Albania. Like you, I invested in Spain. I can do without my investment being clubbed senseless by a Spanish thug in the state's uniform.
