"News that the Spanish Government will not help pay for Britain's legal costs over the Pinochet affair is not surprising.

Spain may have some of the best roads in Europe, along with the best restaurants and museums, but as soon as anyone asks them for money they wheel out some walnut-faced peasant on a donkey and claim to be part of the Third World. They nick our fish, take more in EU subsidies than any other member state and have still not formally apologised for spoiling Drake's game of bowls. Well fine. We won't buy their hateful cars."
