Spain like our country is not quite Greece. <br /><br />Spain is doing what Canada did 15 years ago and I note Spanish Banks seem to own several British banks and never lent somebody else's money willy nilly.<br /><br />Targetting the public sector for cuts will definitely not be delivering essential frontline services.
