What if the boot was on the other foot?

With all the recent postings about reclaiming our 'lost' deposits it would be interesting to consider what the situation would be if lots of Spanish had invested in the South of England in so-called off-plan projects that never happened and the English developers and banks kept their money!
Don't you think it would have reached the European Parliament by now?
I just wonder how this can all be kept away from the politicians and public at large in the UK since so many people have been affected.
Maybe it is something to do with country cultures...not as though I see the Spanish as get up and go types of course. Just maybe we in the UK are more accepting of things when they go badly wrong.
I mean I have seen people in the Action Group I am with today just say 'forget it' and leave behind 28,000 Euros in Spain, probably money remortgaged from their home as well (like me).
What is wrong with us? Why can't we get a result on this outrage?
