Even Brits love this hilarious song about why the Spanish “hate” them
With Brexit looming, EU residents in the UK being messed about, and too much European political energy being wasted trying to fend off backstop complaints from Boris Johnson, the entire EU community could be forgiven for being sick to death of the UK.
However, in this brilliantly adapted version of Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’, Spanish-Welsh comedian Ignacio Lopez shows that Spain already had plenty of reasons to dislike the Brits.
Here’s my song about why Spain hates the U.K. From my solo show #EspañYOLO. pic.twitter.com/8E5fh3JSNH

You can’t go wrong with lyrics like
“Local food it don’t mean shit.
They’d rather just eat chips.”
We have a feeling they’d stand up to rigorous scrutiny.
With almost 3000 retweets and close to 300 replies, these reactions are a taste of what people think of being caught bang to rights Ignacio’s ditty.
Brilliant

Love this. I'm currently in Majorca and the place is full of rude, fat, bald, white van types loading up on chips and beer, calling all barman "mate", or "fella"(ella ella ella 😉). And the men are almost as bad! I hate the english abroad!(i'm english and not particularly proud!)

On a day when her bandmate hasn’t exactly done the brand any favours, Bucks Fizz’ Cheryl Baker – the nice one – shows us she has a great sense of humour.
Just discovered this bloke. Very funny and, unfortunately, very accurate! https://t.co/aIj4eyjA6O
