Election Day


Election Day in Spain. Just after the excitement of Hollyrood, Spain goes and tops it all with this huge protest filling the Puerta del Sol - right next to my Spanish School - if I fail tomorrow's exam I am going to blame the noise from outside. Anyway Donald & Andrew got right in there during the protests and Andrew had signed a petition before they realised he was an extranjero with no ID number! To be fair they have been well disciplined and organised with a soup kitchen, portable toilets and even a creche. Donald was right at home as it reminded him of all his gap year festivals. If you want to view the BBC take on it all:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-13466977

The poster reads No Home, No Job, No Pension, No Fear  a message from some of the 40% of unemployed young people.
