How dare Iran retaliate!
Dear Editor,
I read the review for 2019 with interest and never thought that so much happened on mine and other expat pensioners’ wonderful retirement in a lovely country.
I sincerely hope that in the review for this year it is possible to mention the long wait for expats to have their cases heard in the Spanish courts.
The cases I refer to are the number of cases ‘waiting’ to be heard regarding banks issuing mortgages on illegal properties?
Mine was regarding a UK subsidiary (Barclays Bank Spain) which was sold to a Spanish Bank (Caixa). In my case it is sixteen years since I was sold an illegal property and at 77 years old I am certain that we will never get a result whilst we are alive?
Hoping you will oblige, Michael Kemp

How dare Iran break the nuclear deal which the US tore up months before!
How dare Iran support a sovereign state (Syria) which is under attack from western-funded, proxy armies!
But how dare Iran have its own proxy armies in countries bordering Iran!
How dare Iran deem to control its own resources and use the revenue from the sale of Iranian oil to benefit Iranian people!
How dare Iran take an independent path and not subordinate the country's resources to servicing the
