The Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Treasury is putting measures in place to help evacuate thousands of expatriates living in Spain and Portugal in case they are stranded no access to their savings.
The two countries, which both have sizeable British populations, were among those made vulnerable by the “sustained deterioration” in funding.

I sure hope the retired ex-pats have already moved their holdings to safer banks.
And so why is up to government to ‘rescue’ people in a modern democracy? This isn’t a war situation at all which could justify some sort of rescue, but these are so-called citizens, who pay no tax in Blighty, yet Nanny State feels a compulsion to intervene. Britain is deep down the rathole, but not bankrupt enough yet.
There comes a time when the gov. must tell citizens to stand up and look after yourself. If they wanted to live out of country and the world fell apart that’s their fault and not up to the gov. to bail them out. PMSH are you listing.
Must learn to spell and check.
“PMSH are you listing.”
at this time of year SANTA is usually LISTING:-)))))
and some of the elves aren’t too steady on their feet either
