  1. These toll zones are inconvenient especially for visitors that do not know of their existence or the rules. As an American they do not exist. Seems just to be a money grab.

    As for cleaning vs. training. I think a blended option should exist. Otherwise go clean if a person does not want to improve the skills for a better opportunity.

  2. Urban Maut, etc.. The motto here is, milk us, till we have no more to give. Is the thesis, how to get money from all residents and getting away with it on the agenda in obtaining a degree on politics? How much BS can we take?

  3. Buenos dias mis amigos! Regarding higher rental prices, is this happening in all areas (in big cities and small cities on the outskirts)? My wife and I are interested in renting houses in Ontinyent or Barx, or other, until we find an area we like to buy. We're a little concerned rental prices will skyrocket!

  4. Cigarettes are also legal in Spain, however they are being smuggled into the country in mass quantities. The drug smugglers will just lower their prices, as I assume that Spain would put taxes on drugs.

  5. Hello Stuart ,l think why can't the unemployed work in community as well as do a training course that way it's possible for them to take benefits with some pride in themselves ,working any kind of job is good for ones morale and learning a new skill must make one feel worthy of the help they receive from a benefit ,shame the UK don't do the same after all it's a good idea to help folks back to the routine of getting up for work instead of sitting at home doing nothing .
    Thank you for your on going news reports . Wishing you and your family well .

  6. Trump has a long and well documented history of not paying his own bills, so it's rich for him or any of his supporters to complain about others not paying their obligations. Of course, he is a performative politician, with little substance or ability to actually fix anything. His sole skill seems to be creating chaos and distraction, while he personally profits. I'll be happy when he no longer dominates the news cycle.

  7. Tolls are always a bad idea, the revenue collected is never spent on the roads. I don't partake of drugs myself but I do agree with legalisation as that should make peddling less attractive to the pushers.

  8. Stuart, I don't think legalizing hashish will work, It will push the drug trade to bring in worse drugs and this will amp up the drug problem. Hashish is pretty tame compared to other drugs. Things could be worse. Maybe clean up the corruption of the police like Singapore would do.
    Cheers, Rob

  9. Hi Stu, bad idea for the urban tolls in my opinion and legalisation of medical cannabis is only a matter of time before it's a reality in Spain. If they decriminalised cannabis for recreational use I will believe it when I see it if it reduces crime overall. The crumbling world economy and lies from bent politicians is going to cause more crimes than cannabis imho regards Marco 👊 viva España 🇪🇦

  10. Hola todos, the issue of legalizing gateway drugs such as marihuana as well as other hard drugs is a recipe for disaster as the country will be flooded with the most undesirables wanting to ligitimize themselves. The better option is to prosecute, confiscar todos los bienes (seize assets) and use proceeds to fund affordable housing. There is simply not enough general demand from the public to ligitimize the drug cartels. Only more troubles will arise. Society is best represented by law and order, good family values and honest working people. Que dios os bendiga a todos, saluda.

  11. Trump and nato…. In the history of NATO article 5 (call of support from members) has been involved once. Once. By who? The USA after 9/11. Because they couldn't handle Afghanistan alone? Trump supporters react to facts like the wicked witch reacts to water. Imo. Love your show. Ty

  12. Morning all from Thailand 🇹🇭.not many people like trump but he is correct. If I buy an apartment and sign to pay community and then don't pay its not fair on your neighbours.
    The problem where I live in Spain there are 800 air b and b apartamentos what are empty 8 months of the year so there is no where for workers to live

    What's all the money for? ?????
    I hope spain has good oversight to check where the money is being spent. .. also. better still.
    DON'T GIVE THEM A PENNY….BUT HAVE Mauritania give them a. shopping list first, and. Spain can buy or build whatever is required .In doing so, it should cut out the amount of corruption that goes on in that country….
