    Away with the Famila in Majorca and I’ve seen a few of these sprayed on walls around a few big hotels in the resort, they’d be knackered without tourists especially the britts who spend money like it’s confetti when there away.

    It was only 4 years ago the Spanish and Greeks were willing tourists back cos they were on there arse.

    I watched programme on Sky news a few months ago about the housing crisis in Ibiza which was mainly due to ‘foreigners’ buying up properties and leases, some very highly skilled qualified people living in basically whatever they could get there heads on, sad to see really.

    Went to Barcelona last year and luckily didn't see anything - they are going to massively shoot themselves in the foot if they continue

    Never seen as many Celtic shirts…….there’s a family in ours and I don’t think they’ve brought out else apart from Celtic shirts

    Isn't it more directed at the ones buying up apartments and villas etc as holiday homes, as opposed to people staying in hotels?

    That would be my reason not to go if it’s overrun by Celtic fans

    Understandable with local people squeezed out off the housing market causing an increase in homelessness. The main culprits are the Air BNB mob rather than hotels.

    late stage capitalism is such fun.
