Spain, land of plenty for Over-50s

After the worse week yet for the ruling McBroons, they have gone back to Scotland for a gathering of the clan and to reconstitute the government’s credibility amid growing concerns from the public about their futures in what used to be the land of plenty…

Henchmen spin masters have been forced from the scene after leaks of their planned smear campaign against Tory politicians and the leaks from the Home office were not worthy of the prosecution of the mole and Tory mole master. The schoolmarm, turned minister at the Home Office stonewalls her way out of a corner that can only lead to her final demise and McBroon himself still hasn’t said sorry for the sorry mess he has led the country into.

The country’s Over-50s will find this all vaguely familiar and reminiscent of previous failed governments that promised much and delivered so little of benefit. They now have a new figure to focus on, £175 billion – the amount of dosh borrowed by the McBroons to get us out of the mess they have caused in 10 years of mis-rule.

Over-50s and pensioners now realise that their grandkids will still be paying of this monster debt and wonder if there is another way of softening the blow – like having a base in Spain, Europe’s last land of plenty of sunshine, friendly natives, relaxed lifestyle and a cost of living much less than in Rip-off Britain.

Spanish house sales are still running at 1,000 a day, as bargain hunters take advantage of the over-supply and recessional Spanish bank repossessions and distressed situations. There are generous bank mortgages and genuine developers, Spanish solicitors and agents who will provide help and advice for Brit buyers.

Avoid the get rich quick schemes like those of the failed Fast Track outfit in the UK that are emerging in the wake of the current bargains situation. Why hand over thousands to buy through these dodgy operations and give away some of the savings that go with bargain homes in Spain.
