That's not the point I was making though. The point I was making was that alot of British in Spain do all the stuff that they accuse immigrants in Britain of doing but they always have excuses of why it's ok for them to do it (ie not learn the language, not integrate, form ghettos, not only don't learn Spanish but actually expect the Spanish to speak English etc etc )
