If we keep making demands and trying to bully a deal I can only see them getting more belligerent and us getting less than was possible by playing nice

It's astonishing that people are still ignorant enough to publicise the fact that it's their paper of choice.
Their leader has said she is pro shooting migrants and refugees who try to enter the country.
They are gaining support in former East Germany but most in the rest of Germany are appalled. The net result of AfD getting 10-20% of the vote currently looks like creating a coalition of the centre left party SPD with the Greens and the socialists and so push German politics to the left.

Not if you're happy to see racism and inequality, which seemingly was the discussion.
Silly cow should have learned from recent history, where labour admitted to a similar **** up.
It's his usual not very subtle and unsuccessful dig at me!
All countries have racism to one extent of another. I can't say that outside of football crowds that I've seen any overt evidence of it.
The police can be a problem, but the UK still has that too.
Hmm, so a human rights group is no more accurate than the Daily Mail. I think your own personal bigotry and prejudice are clouding your 'judgement'.
However much I dislike it, it is hard to deny that accepting a large number of foreigners in a short space of time is bound to cause instability and resentment.
In my personal experience there is less racism in Spain than there is in the UK.
I guess the liberty group perhaps looked at others personal experience. My own is that I've seen far more discrimination in Spain than in the UK.
There was an interesting study I read the other day, showing what some in here claimed was valid. It related to the apparent rise in reported racist incidents after Brexit, which seemingly hasn't lead to an increase in convictions, which was what some contended.
Apparently some claims of racist incidents were nothing of the sort, one example given was shop windows broken, which turned out to be part of a spate of smash and grabs.
You obviously don't read very well. I said from my personal experience, not that I denied it exists.
Unlike you, I don't hold any racial prejudices or bigotry!
Very true this.... all the old british racists like to move to spain.
But Pete lives in a slum in Mitcham and you live in a one bedroom council flat in Hastings?!
Had that report been about the UK, you'd be all over it like a rash. The fact you try to play it down is a sign of your bigotry and prejudice.
