Cheap drinks, and piss heads vomming everywhere.

Can understand the ire of the locals. 

Yes, they've been happy to take the money over the years, but you can understand them getting miffed with it all.

Go and build your economy in another way. The piss heads are few and far between. 

Going off Spain big time. Proper moaning sods.

I haven’t been for 6 years mind so I suppose they aren’t too worried😂

Never been and wouldn't want to, unless it was away from the "commercial" areas.

Same applies all over to be fair.

Maybe they feel they can still have their holiday economy but with fewer folk- the relative numbers probably don't matter to them- it's the image.

There are similar, but much smaller scale issues in Scotland around the NC500 with locals bemoaning the number of visitors and their impacts.

Not sure what the answer is, as in a way they've made their own bed, but as we've seen with property, they don't mind fucking over foreign owners. By extension then, they may well get changes.

They can crack on and do as they please. Just won’t have sympathy when they come crawling back. 
 

In the same way I’d want no sympathy if we were self sabotaging our own economy 😂

Well, suggestions that the Spanish are going to limit drinks on all inclusive holidays now to 6 a day.

Can't blame them.

pretty sure that is already a thing in some parts of Spain. pretty sure Magaluf etc are already that. 

I don't get the shit Benidorm gets (admittedly i was a hater before i went). Father in law has retired out there. its nice enough when away from the main strip. no real issues. Can't understand anyone going all inclusive there mind its plenty cheap enough.

Needs sorting one way or another. Iran with nukes would not be a palatable option. 

We can largely thank our friend Donald for his unparalleled international statesmanship and reading of world affairs for this sorry mess.

I'm not sure that I'd go for any longer than an extended weekend - the old town is actually really nice, the newer part of town is very tacky and definitely "all day breakfast and a pint for €1" territory - for a lads (or girls) weekend, it's decent enough. I reckon you could easily spend two days, get smashed, eat shit food and still have plenty change from €100, if you were on a budget, balls to AI out there.

It's basically a sunnier/warmer Blackpool, but without the turd sea, Uncle Brians, and the friendly window cleaners

Benidorm is one of the worst places I've been to abroad. Absolutely Rank.

I think it’s widely recognised that the US and to a lesser extent UK financial institutions are Jewish heavy in its foundations and leadership. Same with some of the media too. It’s not a stretch to think that those people will support Israel during a conflict and I don’t think it’s a stretch that those financial powerhouses can’t lean on a government. Why else would they offer so much support, so much financial aid and completely overlook some of the atrocities they commit?

I read yesterday that 40% of schools in Gaza have been destroyed as a result of the military operation.

Has Hamas High been hit yet?

[royal white]

Were the schools targeted because of what was inside them or were the IDF just using them as target practice?

Not unless it's another misfire like the hospital early in the piece but for sure and certain they will have hidden underneath them or amongst their student human shields. You can count on it.
