they don't want to gothey know nobody out there, all their friends and family are here. i'm not saying your heart should bleed for them; they took a gamble and lost, but it's a shame for all concerned, the spanish, the people who invested there...

No, you miss my pointit actually is their fault. The major driver for the crash back in 2008 was fucked-up property portfolios. Caused by banks lending on over-inflated property values to (in a fair number of cases) grasping arseholes looking to make a quick buck. So it's a gamble they took and lost. It's something they, essentially, made happen. Innit.
