Three things.

1. I don't see anyone suggesting that a moratorium is an alternative to creating employment. The two are not mutually exclusive.

2. Creating employment is not immediate. People are being evicted now, and an immediate solution is needed.

3. The banks agreed to this before being forced, and the EU has also supported this move.

Just be a bit careful with some of those offers with low up front rates, paticularly if they are any data trasnfer limits. If they are charing a lot for additional data you could easily wind up paying through the nose. If you are an average couple, I'd reccomend looking out for a deal that includes 8gb usage. If you intend to stream TV, you will want a bigger data allowance (15gb a month or better) and also a higher speed - ideally 10mb/sec or better.  Also be sure to check they don't have any limits on "peak time" usage.

I think the class system is Spain is very different to Britain. Indeed, the UK is something of a regional oddity in that it's class structure has survived with comparatively minor modifications from the early modern era to the present day, wheras most other European states have had their class sytems heavily influenced by the Napoleonic era and subsequent political and social upheavals. British society has been a lot less affected by this and as a result is something of a coelacanth. I don't think the way we concieve of class is easily exportable.

This is NOT to say that European class societies are classless (this is patently absurd), but simply that the way it is structured and expressed is not easily compared.
