The War For Spanish Society

When you have good raw materials you just have to to put them together well into something that is worth it. Spain has the components but can it mix them together well.

If you give everybody the ingredients and the instructions to bake a cake it's likely that you'll get ten very different tasting, and looking, cakes. If you bring ten different folk to Spain they'll have ten different perspectives and ten different experiences. Their reactions to Spain will depend upon their cultural background, their education level, their dislikes and even how they felt on that day.

What Are The Raw Materials?

The best thing is that Spain has the component materials to make a damn good cake. There's the obvious sun, sea, sand and sangria (I'm certain I have missed an "s" out there;-) ) There are the innumerable International Heritage preservation sites, the spectacular scenery (Spain is the highest country in Europe aside from Switzerland) Yet there is something else, something that makes Spain different still. However to realise it you need to be here for a while. Those people that have lived here or a time may have discovered it.

Let's Call It Society

Britain lost its society with the fallout from the Thatcherite revolution as everyone got on their bikes and went to have a look for opportunities somewhere else. The soul was ripped out of communities starting with the mining towns, moving onto the inside towns and finishing with a flourish in the never-ending soulless housing estates surrounding each major town and city in the country.

Spain never lost it... Till now.

The Battle For Spanish Society

Spain is fighting at the moment. There is a brain drain moving out of the country thanks to the lack of opportunities here for up to date highly qualified graduates. One of the main growth areas in the Spanish economy is English as a foreign language in particular customized to interview techniques. I know many of us minting it with that profession.

That's extremely gloomy!

Young Spanish folk have never moved a great distance from home. The average age for a young Spaniard to leave home is still between 32-34 years of age dependent on the survey you read, but that's changing and that change threatens society here at an abdominal level.

Spain has the base material to change. It has the young talent to modify. What it might not have, or rather, let's face facts, what it does not have is the leadership it has to take it forward into the future it so needs.

Conveniently the raw materials make a great cake still.
