“Rajoy could become prime minister”

Rajoy could be appointed PM but he has already demonstrated he cannot do the job.

So, the new boss IS the same as the old boss! Spaniards, like leopards, cannot change their spots.

What will change? How will he convince his people that he CAN change?

Sack Gollum?

Arrange for a six shot revolver and try playing Spanish roulette? This is where the gun has FIVE loaded chambers! :o)

You have to laugh at the Spanish, they are even funnier than their language.

Totally agree ChrisR , these idiots are a joke. They don't want the UK to have a trade deal with EU despite the fact that we buy a lot of Spanish produce, and a no deal would F*** up the Spanish more than us. They are keeping that revolver you mention, to fire into their feet. For example-if we get our seas back, the Spanish will have to send all of their fleet to the Falklands, where despite allegedly supporting the Malvinas Myth, they still buy lots of licenses from FIG. Took a lot of protests for them not to allow the Russian fleet to refuel at their Moroccan colonial enclave.That in itself tells you that a NATO member, just doesn't 'get ' what NATO is for. The fact that Lovejoy has jet black hair and a grey beard shows us that visually, he is a bullshitter and an ineffectual user of Latino machospeak.
