I'm sick to death of Jews complaining of subsidizing other countries - then driving down to Benidorm on roads paid for by these subsidies.
I'm even more sick of old Jewish socialists who go play golf in Benidorm on golf courses watered with the drinking water Southern Spain does not have.
I'm sick to death of Britons complaining of subsidizing other countries - then driving down to Benidorm on roads paid for by these subsidies.
Now, are you referening to the British Socialists who fought Franco during the Spanish Civil War. That fight was a defining momement for many on that generation of the British left. Money is a sign of Poverty - Culture Saying
I do hold the highest respect and gratitude for the International Brigadists, who fought in vain. tens of millions of people stand to see their lives ruined because the bureaucrats at the ECB don't understand introductory economics -- Dean Baker

It's rather sad that googling "If you tolerate this your children will be next" brings up the music album cover but not the war propaganda poster.
Now, to go completely off-topic, Basque nationalist leader Arzalluz once said "for us the Bombs and for Madrid the paintings" in reference to the Guernica being in a Madrid museum. It made my blood boil. tens of millions of people stand to see their lives ruined because the bureaucrats at the ECB don't understand introductory economics -- Dean Baker
I'm British and I'm not complaining about the tone of DoDo and Migeru's remarks.
In fact, if we had less xenophobia from Brits, Europe would be a better place.

I re-read what I wrote, and indeed, it can be read that way. So here is a better wording that can't be misunderstood:
I'm sick to death of those Britons who first complain of subsidizing other countries - then drive down to Benidorm on roads paid for by these subsidies. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
I am sick to death of the type of Britons who complain about subsidising other countries - then driving down to Benidorm on roads paid for by those subsidies.
The first step is pointing out the hypocricy in their statements. If this works, we can extend the research to the pundits and bash them on the heads with it, too. As RogueTrooper shows, there are plenty of Brits around who simply don't agree on all the talking points in the newspapers.
I've been thinking more and more about this, but we need in Europe (also in Brussels) a more clear name-and-shame platform for individual politicians.
Please, will you take a look at the articles from the FT Jérôme excerpts from at the head of this thread, and put things in perspective?
I'm afraid it's an easy game to play, and it's excessive.
Please replace "French" by "Jew" any day in the British press and you will be surprised by what you read.
The reverse is not true.
You will note that I criticise the coverage by British press of France or issues where France palys a role, not British citizens, and I stand by that. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
Both I and Migeru apologised in the end. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
