Jeg husker, at en navnkundig britisk konservativ, Edmond Burk, sagde, at Spanien var som en hval, der var strandet i Europa (eller noget lignende, jeg citerer fra hukommelsen).
I remember how a distinguished British Conservative, Edmund Burk, said that Spain was like a whale washed up on the shores of Europe (or something like that, I am quoting from memory).
