@Jarvi

I completely agree with you, tried to stop this nonsense a bit with a few arguments but it is obvious that some people at this forum just want to push their opinion. It's getting close to the "Trump” paranoia and is not belonging in a forum were we want to help each other with the hassles caused by living in Spain.

In my humble opinion this sort of discussions should be removed by the admin before they get so big.

However, I will not join such a discussion again because this sort of discussions is not conducted with truth-based information but more on cheap sentiment and that usually does not give a constructive result….

So, I am out of this topic!

@Windtalker..

Your comment is exactly what I mean by tendentious information. The French Government is much more distant from the people and arrogant. There are few or no protests in other EU countries and the deaths you mention are not caused by fighting or something like that, but by accidents, unfortunately caused by the blockages caused by the demonstrations.
And I really wonder how you can defend the statement that the EU is trying to keep quiet. The media is present everywhere, so that is, in my opinion, a non argument and also a tendentious one.
Your last remark that it would be about a few pennies for petrol is really nonsense.

It has been clearly communicated that protest are about the total cost of living, the increase in fuel prices was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Those are the facts........

Your nickname says it all......to me you are a populist and talking nonsens.

The total amount of foreigners/ immigrants in the UK is 14% of the total population (source:https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/migrants-in-the-uk-an-overview/ ) 

That is including everybody; also people from other EU countries etc, so beiing afraid that the youngsters will not have a pension or other future is bulls..t, like a lot of your other comments..

Furthermore the UK is certainly not the richest country as a matter of fact it's even not in the top 10 list off rich EU countrys at all !!

A lot of your postings are just gibberish and false information.

I can bring up more facts but that will make no sense; a lot of people have digged their heels and are not sensible for a a substantive discussion abvot the pro's and cons of the EU...I am really asking myself how many UK citizens realy do realize what the consequences will be of a hard brexit...

One thing is certain; the great old England no longer exists and never comes back. In the new world order we are much more dependent on each other than we might like and that will not change either...

Times have changed forever but many people think they can go back to the good "old" time which in fact was not so good at all...

@aly not in spain
When reading the posts on Eye on Spain regarding this item I concluded (too early) that it had been a normal fight from departure to the destination airport which was clearly not the case. I am sorry fort that and learned again to check the real story first before posting comments but If you had read my post carefully you would have seen I used a lot of "if s".

Because of your comment I did some more reading at this specific incident and found the following conclusion:
Ryanair had to divert to Valencia were they also have been put in a holding pattern so in this case it was not Ryanair's fault.

On August 22nd, 2012, a Ryanair Boeing 737-800, registration EI-EKK performing flight FR-2054 from Palma Mallorca,SP to Madrid,SP (Spain), estimated flight time 1:10 hours, was on final approach to Madrid’s runway 18R when the crew initiated a go around from about 2700 feet MSL at 20:00Z. The aircraft climbed back to FL150 and received delay vectors until 20:27Z (27 minutes), when the crew determined they could no longer wait and needed to divert to Valencia. The aircraft climbed to FL270 and reached Valencia descending through FL100 south of Valencia at 20:59Z. When the aircraft was vectored through extended centerline to the north the crew declared emergency as landing above final fuel reserve was no longer ensured and received immediate vectors back to the aerodrome, where the aircraft landed at 21:07Z with 1029 kg/ 2266 lbs of fuel remaining below the minimum fuel reserve required of 1104 kg/2432 lbs about 67 minutes after going around in Madrid.

This may lead to the conclusion that the crew was a bit late requesting an immediate landing at Valencia; however safety in this case was not in danger and it seems that because of the circumstances, the crew was not to blame but much more Spanish air traffic control.

Read  this page and judge for yourself: do a search on google on ryanair incidents and also have a look for aviation herald 454af355&opt=0 to learn that not only Ryanair was involved in these cases. (Unfortunately I cannot post direct  links because my subscription is still not approved after almost a year !!!)

End conclusion: probably a lot of fuss and a lot of people and media taking the wrong conclusions.
As said before; again I learned to investigate first and then do a post because writing with a lot of "if's" does not make things clear for everybody. So in the future I will post only after I am completely sure what happened exactly..
