Idiota, the 'million' Brits are the only ones paying into the system, without them Spain would be even worse off.
The one million British living in Spain honor Spain with their presence and the culture of the two countries is enriched.Eventhough one reads the bad press about Spain and Gibraltar more and more Spaniards prefer to work in Great Britain than any other EU country and more and more British people prefer to travel and live in Spain than any other Eu country........
