No worries. Britain always wins these phony wars against these imaginary oppressors. I suppose it's like the "world series". The Yanks always win that one. Go figure.
tranq tranquerBurner phones and multiple PAYG simcards, pretty basic stuff if you're a crim, which you clearly aren't.
This is shocking. How can I as a law avoiding brit control my drug empire and VAT fraud schemes when I am here on holiday if the spanish are spying on me. Whats happened to the safety of british criminals abroad ?
If you think register the amount of mobiles,ä in a specific area, in no way attached to any name, is being spied on, I then wonder how the Brits feel at home with the cameras everywhere? This is not just "against British" as this paper claim.
How about using electronic GPS ankle tags, simple. You could also change for their removal........JOKING.
Here goes the MDB getting all hysterical again about the Brits when the story is actually more about the Spanish themselves not happy about this inept intrusiveness. And…Raw tourist number data is already available via the Guardia Civil having records of all tourists who stay at any hotel, hostel or ETV rental. It’s a legal requirement to pass this info on to them. They don’t ask for how long they are staying though but do get nationality, ID information and date of beginning their stay.
Huh? So, they're counting the number of Non-spanish phones registered on Spanish mobile providers on any given day. I'm at a loss to reckon how this can remotely be considered "spying", and even more at a loss to reckon how this has anything to do with Brits specifically. But we all know it's gotta be all about foreigners' spite of Brits, right? Obviously ther
