I film my videos on #lumix and GoPro cameras and lenses and sometimes on an iPhone.
You see - the whole of Africa would love to live in Europe - but only in the rich countries of Europe. Few Africam migrants go to Bulgara, Albania, or Montenegro!
Not the whole of Africa wants to live here. I think people forget there are 54 countries and not everyone is in dire straights and wants leave other than for school or vacation.
They know what welcome they would get in eastern Europe. 99% white 🙄
Its the once white countries they are pushed into, its all called being racist towards the white people. Of course the other crowd would never say that.
Maybe we should just swap continents. I'd be happy to trade the UK for Kenya or former Rhodesia and get some decent weather at last...
Perhaps because they'd get massacred in the Balkans.
Stu... I believe that you are in favour of Immigration... When these immigrants start to live near you I think you will change your views.... Tony cuenca
By the way loads of Africans arriving in santa pola and cuenca day by day I see this with my own eyes.... Tony cuenca
Its illegal immigration, not migration.
@@DropdudeJohn They all say that now don't they.... Try getting into Spain if you are white and English without docs no way Jose.... Tony cuenca
Haven’t you heard yet? In the UK it’s no longer ‘illegals’ - their now officially classed as ‘irregulars’. Happy days 😉
Tourists out
but refugees welcome. You couldn't make it up🙄
Illegal economic migrants
Historians will find this a curious slogan long after the collapse.
You're right but there is definitely a problem with mass tourism in many European countries however.
I thought brexiteers were refugees ? 🤔
@@lioneldemun6033 what’s best, lots of tourists for the economy, or third world criminals ?
Been going to the canaries for 30+ yrs but no more , never stayed in a flat or air b&b always in a hotel, they don’t want us so bye bye 👋
Well you preferred immigrants to British holiday makers ! Well you got your wish ! Enjoy 👍 🇬🇧
Yep - and whereas holiday-makers bring their money to spend and support the local economy, immigrants come and drain resources from the economy...
There are problems though all inclusives have made it hard for small businesses
@@AnthonyRawlings yes I do understand what your saying about all inclusive holidays, but many ppl like us do not like all inclusive holidays and make our own arrangements with local hotels well away from the tourist areas, it was great !! But I refuse to spend £ with ppl that do not want us ! So Portugal here we come 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Be sure to get your visa..
Truth is harsh, but so is the influence of Dinero amigo. No money, no honey!
Serves the right for hating on the British tourists. I know there are a few disgraceful British tourists but the majority are hard working folk, spending their money in Spain, seeking a bit of sun.
@@kaycee625 well said.
They constantly try and persuade passers by in to their establishments, offering large quantities of alcohol. They pick on the British, who use the restaurants and coffee shops, whilst the other nationalities are every bit as drunk and bring their own food with them and/or buy from supermarkets. Already some Greek islands are losing much of their revenue.
@@Missydee-72. None so blind. 😉
Like with Brexit Russia has a hand in this. Spanish social media has been targeted significantly by Russian bot farms to persuade the Spanish to act against their interests.
Spain has a leftist government, so that is important to know.
Why don’t they stay in their own country and work hard to make it better? Nah they want it all ready made and for free. 🙄
Good job the Spanish put off the British from going to Spain . More room for migrants surely 😇
😂😂😂
In fact is not the Spanish its Brusels. Spain tried to make a special deal, after all for us you are the main tourist incoming, but because Brexit and since we are part of the EU, rules have to be general and not particular. It was you that meesed up, not us.
I preffer all of you than the more tanned "tourisim". You bring money, they cost us money.
@@hussenot us … definitely eu being bitter
@@husseEurope wanted to surpass the U.S. by creating EU but is backfiring.
Dear Fernando, welcome to Europe 2024. It may have escaped your notice but the entirety of Europe is on the “verge of collapse” - if you relocate your current “guests” more will immediately replace them. Imagine, if you will, trying to dig a hole in a dry sand beach.
And then replace the sand with migrants.
Have a great day!
You need to grow a pair Fernando.😂
I gave up on the canaries years ago i now goto benidorm just to feel like im in England because theres more British there on holiday than there is in my local town it feels like im in Syria or Sudan 😮
😅
Improve their lives at the expense of yours!
Spaniards don’t earn enough on average to buy electric vehicles
they don't need a car, they can easily use other transportation to get anywhere. Yet, people want a car and there is plenty of traffic.
Actually they lease cars here from banks & energy providers & electric cars start at €187 a month with Sabadell.
Electric vehicles are a scam. Overpriced and not practical as battery charge does not get you very far and good luck finding a charger in a village.
Imagine what its like in Africa! Electric vehicles are a wasteof time. will never happen in Africa
@@MrFernanrcwhat?? Massive generalisation there. With no car I have a 20min walk then 2 buses to get to work which takes 15 mins by car. So an electric car would be great for me, thanks.
Ford , Vauxhall , Toyota , Nissan , Mercedes , Chevey etc have all decided to STOP Production of EVs, Due to lack of sales.
My husband works in the car industry and he says populations are backing off electric vehicles and the docks are full of them stock piling, unsold. Here in Australia sales are down and in many other places. A lot of the hyperbole is designed to make people fear they’re missing out and should get an EV and that countries such as Spain should “catch up”.
It’s been proven that the immigration problem is a vicious circle. The reason locals in all western countries don’t do certain jobs is simply because the wages are too low so immigrants who are prepared to work for low wages do and that eventually forces all wages down. This is a well known economic fact and I’m not sure why so many people haven’t got their heads round it. On top of that whenever something is plentiful it becomes cheap, the same goes for labour so there is no circumstance in any country where the mass immigration we’ve all been seeing over the last ten to fifteen years is positive in the long run. Simple economics.
When large amounts of migrants came to the UK in the nineties the news continually told us they were doing the jobs we were too lazy to take. it was so frustrating, picking vegetables doesn’t pay enough to pay rent or a mortgage. The new workers were squashed in caravans and stopped doing it as soon as possible
The Canary Islands will have even more looky looky men.
There were too many 'for you, special price!' fifteen years ago:(
A “refugee” can have our room this year.
Quite happy to have American tourists , but complaining about British and others that have kept them going for years 🙄.
Out with the immigrants. Out with electric cars, out with the woke lies !!!
Electric vehicles are not exactly kind to the environment.They have to have electricity generated to top up batteries,and more over the raw materials for batteries are mined at a great cost to the environment
Not to mention the decommissioning polution from batteries etc
Since we saw the Spanish walking around with banners saying basically tourists bugger off we decided not to come to our annual November trip to the Arona Gran in los Chris this year so the good news there will be a Up room available for a nice African
We will be going to Cyprus instead
Love the Arona Gran but it's become too expensive. So lots of migrant rooms there 😂
It is not the responsibility of European countries to better non European lives. If the UN expect Western countries to fix the rest of the world then Western countries must have a say in how failing countries are managed.
Back to the good old days of colonialism? 🤔
Yes these jobs need to be done but its not a case of feeling the job is below you, the pay is shocking so we import cheap foreign labour by the thousands thus keeping wages down and overall lowering the standard of living for everyone. Pay people a decent living wages and nationals will have no problems doing these jobs but the rich wont have it. A never ending stream of immigration from the third world. Its having disastrous consequences already and its going to get much worse
I hope tourists DO stay away, they’ve been getting ripped off for years. So lets hope the country enjoys mass unemployment and closures of bars and restaurants. If that’s what they want, give them it.
Nasty comment
My sentiments precisely...
But I thought Spain wanted less tourists and were happy to take migrants instead, a statement they made two years ago
Renewables were named correctly, every 0-15 years they'll need renewing. They will make single use plastics look environmentally friendly.!
You wanted poor immigrants over rich tourists, enjoy!
Been going to Gran Canaria all my life, was there last year November before the antitourism bull kicked off - Tried to get a table at a beachfront restaurant in Las Palmas, waiter was polite and said he'd check but then the tattoo laden manager started screaming at him in Spanish about giris and the waiter came back and said we are full. THis was infront of my mother and my children. I made my mind up there and then that im not going back. Went to Alicante since and had a lovely time.
The Spanish chose migrants over British tourism so they brought it on themselves and i have no sympathy for them.I quit going to Spain years ago because all it has to offer a tourist is hot weather which I'm not bothered about.I lived in Tenerife for 3 years in 2006 and the last time i went there on holiday was about 7 years ago and it's a completely different place to when I lived there and I was so bored I wanted to go home after two days but because I was with family I couldn't.I did book a last minute holiday to Majorca last May and even that's quite expensive now and i also saw a sign saying "no to tourists".
Sad for the residents of the Canaries. I lived in Las Palmas and the south of Tenerife for 1.5 years towards the end of the mask requirements on public transport and honestly was glad to get out and back to the mainland and civilization. The islands are a dodgy place with shady foreigners and getting robbed is commonplace there. I expect it's worse now with the backlash from over tourism and the massive migrant problem from Africa.
Always wanted to visit the Canary Islands, and even move there. Cuz life in Canada is all about work, work, 2 week vacation and not all together, and hard winters. Thou I have duo citizenship born in Canada from Spanish parents, I heard it is hard to find a decent job! Especially if your past 50! And all the migrants and all… not sure if I even want to go! 😢
jay is there a place called las palmas in tenerife too bc there is lp in gran canaria . also on the mainland are places where tourists are not wanted .
@@sweeta17 Seriously? What they tell you at your face??
@@sweeta17 regarding Las Palmas, my comment should be obvious unless you are illiterate. And ironically referring to your comment about ' tourists'....I'm a certified language teacher from LA who passed the state exams in Spain 20 years ago, yet the native Canarians on those respective islands couldn't make the distinction even though I'm bilingual. Hence the lower class!
Migrant crisis, hahaha, this is going on for decades now, so where were these people back then complaining?? Oh yeah they were cold Anti-islamics and many more names. Now that the "bubble" people have woken up, it's all of a sudden urgent!!
Electric cars aren't selling in the UK because they have no second hand value.
1 in 5 new cars sold in England is electric...
To fleet buyers....
Fleets in NZ are selling off their electric vehicles. Plus rentals are selling them off as well
Rubbish. I just traded my 3 year old ev in and got 55% of the new price. Most run of the mill petrol or diesel cars lose 60 to 66% in the first 3 years.
And therein lies the problem. People still dont think about the environment... Only their pockets.
".. verge of collapse due to the influx of migrants."
I thought the tourists were the problem?
I didn’t know the brits were shoved out of Spain since I don’t go on holiday anymore. Guess you’re getting what the U.K. is getting now.
Yes err lets not have any paying tourists but lets have thousands of sponging tourists and then complain about both groups. I know which i would rather have.
I was offered jobs at the same time in the Canary Islands and Murcia and didn't choose the Canary Islands for this reason.
35 plus years of canarian holidays ..now its cheaper to go 4 star cruise ship so bye bye and hello better food.
Can't understand why anyone would buy an electric car and not a hybrid at this early stage
Fiscal incentives.
Early stage 😂. Teslas have been around for years and Leafs and Zoes. I have just replaced my 3 years old Audi Q4 ev with a new one I plan on keeping at least 10 years. It's not Early days, many people have just not woken up to them yet. No going back once you drive electric.
@@MrAlexrowlands Very early stage mate. Too few charging points etc. The rush to be green irrespective of everything else
If you’re buying through a limited company, then they make a lot of sense.
@@MrAlexrowlandsYou do when you try to go with a caravan….
You don’t want EV’s anyway they’re a load of crap! All these people buying them will regret it soon just wait and see!
I cancelled my holiday
Even the job of having large family's is given to foreigners.😀
Spelled "families"
There’s a broad frustration with the push for electric vehicles (EVs) and other green technologies that many believe aren’t living up to the promises made about them.
The perception is that these initiatives are unraveling traditional supply chains and making everyday life more difficult, all for the sake of an agenda that doesn’t resonate with the lived experiences of most people.
First time went to France, Perpignan South coast, instead of always holidays in Spain. Better than we expected and shall tour Brittany next. Bye bye Spain.
France is nice. But much more expensive than Spain. Im not far from Perpignan. The prices on the coast are hideous compared to just over the border in Spain. Even the French near the French Spanish border go to Spain for shopping or a meal and day out. Yes it might be a bit different for them but if you ask them why it's because France is a lot more expensive.
I live in the Canary Islands and there is no doubt the immigration situation is overwhelming I agree but to say we are on the verge of collapse is a political ploy. Something has got to be sorted with the Spanish Government in the Madrid but Pedro Sanchez really enjoyed his holiday here!
Lived there for 12 years seeing the economic crisis take its toll on small businesses, then increased illegal migration ramping up. Had a great little business in property management and maintenance. Moved back home a couple of years before the pandemic thing, left the business to my employees. They ruined it within 12 months! Sold up everything and will never go back there again.
I was not a cook, but with the air fryer and a slow cooker (as a retiree I can wait) I have become one!
A bit noisy for me, the air fryer .
I ramember from the 70’s when all Scandinavian youth dreamed of a language trip to Torquay Bay over the summer. What happened to all that, because recent reports say the English riviera is dead now?
Got a crime problem in Torquay.
Drug problems and homelessness in all the seaside towns
Torquay is now a pit
In Ireland the sales of EVs is down by 15% on 2023. Try selling a secand hand EV, and you will be in for an unpleasant shock. 🚗 Always enjoy your videos Stu, excellent job. 👍
You should be buying a second hand EV, not selling!
@harry130747
EVs will soon be obsolete, as Toyota are on the cusp of bringing a water engine car to the market. 🚗
I know several people who have been to Lanzo recently and they all said migrants aren't a problem there, and didn't see any crime and very few migrants were visible at all. So I don't know which story is correct.
Love the comment about the Madrid people. Same thing happens in Gran Canaria when the Las Palmas people come down to the south. Mum comes down with her car and the kids. The kids run riot in the apartment blocks until 1 or 2 in the morning, then dad turns up at the weekend in his car so that’s the car park full. Happy days 😉
It is no surprise that sales of electric vehicles is slow in Spain. The Government has been pushing the "Moves" grant scheme but failing miserably to pay out! I live in Tenerife and been waiting well over 2 years for the subvençion of €5k. I understand that 114 applications have been correctly filed and accepted....but only 5 applicants have received their money.
Reminds me of the government scam around solar panels, offering subvenciones left, right and centre. Very few got them.
Half the second homes in Chiclana de la Frontera are owned by Madrileños. They are not too well liked here but they do spend a lot in the local economy.
Great video Stuart, get yourself an air fryer, you won’t look back, and that point the lady made about it not heating up the entire room is very valid, and for anyone with bad knees, you won’t miss being like the Indian rubber man trying to clean a pesky olde oven. 😂
Thank you for the information. Have a great week.
Strange why Stalagtube deleted my warning of a man made eruption /collapse in the next two months
You need to look at Russian interference in Spanish 🇪🇸 politics to harm Spanish interests. The recent spate of anti tourism protests have been stoked by Russian bot farms.
Russia has been using these methods to harm European country’s to get citizens to vote against their interests. Brexit in the U.K. 🇬🇧 is an example of the harm it causes to so chaos and division.
Deport.
Well just tell them not to come to the UK
, they won't like it here ,it gets EXTREMELY cold in the winter.They will be much happier in their warmer climate!!
Yep. But send em to Scotland. They won’t like the climate and they won’t understand the lingo. Lots of space there.
the world is angry & aggressive because narcissism & NPD are off the charts now, it’s narcissistic rage ( eg Karen rage; entitlement )
Go woke go broke
Have visited almost all big cities in Europe, prefer smaller villages to really understand the countries culture. Big city people seem more similar between countries than the smaller city people!
Well it will like Africa very soon.
Humans were not created to live in big cities. Big cities are very expensive and crowded and, as such, deprive people of nature and make people aggressive, angry and closed-off; however politicos and oligarchs love them because they are a more efficient vehicle for extracting tax money and wealth from the populous. Welcome to mouse utopia.
I live in the Canary islands and I'm from the UK the Canary Islands are NOT on brink of collapse you're talking BS, quite Frankly some of the garbage that comes over here from the UK we're very happy that you won't be coming here anymore. Thank you ❤
Your viewer mentioned replacing his/her kitchen oven with an air fryer, for me this is not the best option. I find the air fryer is too small and is too hard to clean, like the traditional kitchen oven (cleaning the old oven must be the worst job in the house).
Instead I would replace the kitchen oven with a turbo oven, ie: the big glass bowl with the glass lid that has the heating element and forced air fan. That big glass bowl can fit a full roast and the veg for a family and the glass bowl fits into my kitchen sink making it relatively easy to clean, I note (online) that they are generally cheaper than air fryers.
Just take them back its insane,watched a documentary from last year covering migrant boats ,its got 10 times worse.her in the uk evs are way too expensive,yhe chinese evs are far superior and a third of the price.spain needs to be careful over british tourists, dont believe the yanks are going to spain in any discernable numbers.most americans have never been abroad.the stats dont add up.
Non of us should be made to deal with this untapped illegal immigration…….our governments our armed forces should never have let this nightmare happen
Absolutely true the air fryer does not heat up the kitchen like the big oven. However I have a small air fryer only good for one or two person portions.
I got a Cecotec multipot airfryer thing. It's amazing and restored my enthusiams for cooking. Thank god I never use the oven - kept forgetting to turn it off and no more cleaning it.
What makes me laugh is the first 50yrs of tourism on in the Canaries was cash in hand so one for the till and one for the back pocket, so some of the Canarians shouting against tourists who spend money in favour of illegal immigrants who take money keep forgetting a lot of the better off families on these wonderful islands were brought up on tax evasion and brown envelopes and you turn a blind eye at that, Don't Bite The Hand That Feeds You, have ago at your own who make's the money.
Anybody know what a minor would be? This happened on mexico American boarder and thousands of kids went missing
It's only people who make financial contributions that support a channel.......
Before you buy an air fryer look at ninja grill that is a grill, air fryer, and a smoker in one, it is one of the best buy ever did
Golden age for whom. Definitely not for the people of Spain as that money is not being used to make important improvements that will lower the cost of housing.
Spain has no more money, unless they raise the taxes. Or ask another few billions to the EU. Or stop paying pensions, to those that don’t deserve it. At the end, the result is that the European Canarians will leave the island.
just same in Britain everything happening in spain also happening here and all over the world something we av 2 put up with 😒
@juliekitching. No ,it's not something we have to put up with. Government's need to do something to stop illegals. It needs to be done before the masses really do lose patience and start taking the law into their own hands .
@@motohobo too late now
If you paid more money, the locals would do the jobs. Importing cheap labour leads to wage suppression.
I was living in the canaries at the turn of the century and illegal migration from Africa was already a problem then with the increase in crime that followed.
Careful of what you wish for!!!!
Lowered ocean levels! Who knew!
I live in a pueblo on the CDS and there isn’t a single ev charging point.
I can believe it!!
I was in Vietnam last year. Travelling up on the bus to Thailand I was gobsmacked at the number of petrol stations every few kilometres, and every second one had EV charging facilities!
An electric car needs to be coupled with solar array is a no brainer, but without solar panels is dumb.
Solar panels are a no-brainer, but ppl I know of charge their cars overnight. The real no-brainer is having the panels connected to a battery
@@originalsusser No-0ne is saying what the life of a battery is. Will you ever get your money back?
@harry130747 Harry, I understand from my comment your reply to me. Firstly, you're right! What is the life of a battery? I owned a power tool shop for many years, so I know batteries better than many. I personally would never own an electric car using today's tech. I would never buy second hand anything that uses a battery. I live in Queensland, Australia, where the sun pumps hard. My house has solar panels connected to a battery bank. My house has A/C, elec heating & pool pump & my bills are so low that 'yes' I will get more than my money back over the 10yr life of the system. But this is THE exception to that rule
Guess all those looking for properties in Spain and the Cannareis is fastly turning into a right nightmare. And while all thinking the only concerning danger would be volcanic. A real fools paradise now, aye! Oh.. And the part about ".. minors... " didn't go noticed... As we've all come to understand it that's simply code for young adults of fighting age!!
In 2008 I was for holiday in Benidorm. Since then i have not returned & will not do so in the future.either... There is no future in Spain..
Well them stsy thete..NOT in UK
Shame Now you know what UK is going through..!!
I'm just wandering what the position is in Spain regarding neglected land. On the 24th of June an orchard that has not been worked on for several years and is very close to houses went on fire. Because the land is neglected the vegitiaon is very dry and on the 28th it cought fire again. I beleive that if the bushes and vegitation was cut down this would prevent any future fires. My question is, can the owner be forced to do this as yesterday even a helicopter had to come out.
Oh no not more electric cars the people who live near power generator stations like down the valley of Jinamar generating the power have enough respiratory issues from the chimmenys and the so called renewable energy put together only single figure percent contribution.
It’s just some shitty islands that I couldn’t give a toss to visit
The Holiday makers will go elsewhere
Could someone explain to me how “African Migrants” end up in Tenerife? Did they take a wrong turn in the sea somewhere?
My experience of ruining an EV in Spain over the last two years and also speaking to a few people that bought a new car, could have bought an EV but chose petrol, is the need for more 'slow chargers'. These are the charging points for overnight, while you're at work, in the cinema etc. They are MUCH cheaper and easier to install but need cooperation of Ayuntamientos and so on to add more on-street (especially) facilities. If you can only do on-street parking, EVs are awkward - charging only at fast chargers is uneconomical and not scalable.
But EV,s are not environmental in any way shape or form. Plus they use child slavery in many instances to mine the cobalt. But don't worry about that you can virtue signal how special you are.
When you can find a parking in Tenerife🫣🫣
Most city folks are weird they don’t grasp the world. How can you live in a concrete jungle if things go south.
spain is not your country so why worry about and wherever you come from is not your country either
In Florida, the air fryer uses a tremendous amount of electricity which shows up in the electric bill
Air fryer uses far less electricity than a conventional oven
@@Joe-lb8qn when we used it; it made up close to half of our electric bill
An air fryer will use more than gas oven, only save if your cooking for 1 or 2 people and have electric oven.
Regards the subject of children and the declining birth rate. Many people choose to have only one child (I dislike the term KID) without considering that he or she will have go through a difficult period in time when their parents are elderly and infirm.
Airfryers are great. We only use the old oven for things that are too big (rare for us). Much healthier than frying in seed-based oils, too.
Asylum denied deport
The police in Spain is very abusef with their power. My puppy dog, that I just got an hour ago just got taken From me in the street while I'm alone feeding the puppy for the first time. I got roughly arrested when I reacted,and taken in handcuffs. My puppy is gone.. another time I just got batted by 2 officers for looking a CZcams video in the shade
Everyone wants MadRid!
is there inheritance Tax in Spain?
It depens of the comunidad autónoma
Can people buy a cup of tea rather than a cup of coffee?
The tea tastes awful, they don’t boil the water so the infusion isn’t good
Canary Islands got what they wanted and deserved! I was in Lanzarote twice, rented a villa in both occasions, and I loved it, but now no, I won't go back there ever. Nor I will ever go to continental Spain either. I'm not bringing my money where I'm not welcome. Besides, you need my money more than I need your beach 😂
EV's making headway...ha ha ha ha ha ha
Had a great time in Grand Canaria a few weeks ago, and Tenerife a few years back. It must be down to property prices, it wasn't busy. It was very relaxed. I guess the med being closer and cheaper & easier to get to will be more welcoming.
