Benjy, As i have posted before only for the U.K/ USA / CANADIAN / and a few other allies, A lot of those 27 other flags that fly and make up the E.U. Would not exist, Debt of honour paid in full, 70 odd years ago we owe Europe nothing, They owe us there liberty and freedom from tyranny and should show empathy for everything we done for them , Short memories indeed.

''How do I get to Spain?" These were the evocative words of unemployed Rhondda miner Harry Dobson on his release from Swansea prison, having served a sentence for leading an anti-fascist disturbance in Tonypandy in June 1936.

The fight against fascism in Spain, between 1936 and 1939, drew young men and women from all over Europe to form a rag-tag army.
Mr Dobson was one of 33 Welshmen to be killed serving with the International Brigades which fought to save the doomed democratically elected Spanish Republic government.

This Welsh solidarity was often referred to at the time as taking the form of an anti-fascist barricade stretching from Tonypandy to Madrid.
But why did they go and why was the response in Wales distinct, indeed unique?

Some today might think, in the context of political and cultural devolution, that the Welsh solidarity stemmed from recognising the national rights of Catalonia and the Basque Country which were, it has to be acknowledged, a factor in the Civil War.

The area I lived in Spain 18 months ago was in between Calpe & Moraira. I bought my villa from a German which had been passed on to him by his father but this had been passed onto him by his father. The whole area was or used to be owned by Germans. Good neighbours and we made friends with a few. One night we were at a dinner party and we were one of only two british families invited. A discussion ensued about the area we had chosen to live in. It turned out the the area had been gifted by Franco as a thankyou for German assistance during the civil war.
