What is it with the Spanish Government and other autorities? Have they not seen how the United Kingdom has painted itself into a corner and has been swamped by immigrants who have and still are abusing its ill thought out open door policy of welcoming all the flotsam and jetsum of the world who then challenge everything and anything they disagree with using the Human Rights Act, etc. with all the lefties queuing up to help them? The average Spanish citizen cannot believe that someone who does not contribute anything towards the Health or Social Security Systems in the UK can be eligible to receive assistance once they can prove they are "resident" in the country,whether they be there illegally or not.
