Of course what is holding YOU Spanish and South America back is that you don`t speak proper American "Anglo Saxon" English and you Catholics have never got the hang of overpopulating your Spanish colonies either.
Thank goodness NewLabour and Mr Soros and the BBC had the amazing foresight to ship in trillions of Muslims into Europe and open all our borders for us.

We will not have any trouble knowing who to blame and persecute in the unlikely event of our respected Bilderberger Global Zionist Empire of financial wizardry and growth promoting usury suffering any (purely temporary) minor setbacks....will we?

You Spanish are sooooo late adopting those growth promoting Friedman/Thatcher "Miners Strike" economic measures. You must get with the full benefits of the Neo-liberal programme if you want to be as spectacularly bankrupted as the USA and us!
 We destroyed organised labour and exported our economy to Asia long before you.......an d built our economy entirely around giving away North Sea Oil and letting Wall Street and Washington run our dynamic failing economy ........and getting Israel to run our foreign policy and defence industry and war effort.......and look at us now!

Mind you ...we have both had the amazing advantages of our hostage status in that nice Mr Soros` EU open border migration racket( bringing in trillions of growth promoting essential workers from all over the Third World.)....and without ever having had the inconvenience of voting for it either!

And we have never looked back since we found ourselves safely locked into  the Zionist United States of Europe EU Fourth Reich Ponzi scheme..... run by those lovely Germans and a cast of thousands of "socialist" European Jews for the benefit of Wall Street and Mr Netanyahoo.

W e had the two biggest empires in the world five minutes ago and what an act of generosity it was of  Uncle Sam and little Israel to take all the trouble of running them off our shoulders and getting those nice efficient Germans to run our countries for us without all that silly democracy to hold us back.

If only you guys knew how much the cops rely on intimidation tactics.  Personally, I wouldn't put near as many eggs in that basket as they do.  And the more they try to appear to be intimidating, the more it makes me want to set them on fire.
