The Masked Tulip Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 This story hints at the desperation in Spain where unemployment is at UK 1980s' levels. We are all aware of the pain in the US from the numerous articles posted on here. The UK has all this yet to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
