Questions raised in this episode:
1. Is it fair that tax payers in Spain should be forced to decide whether to give a percentage of their tax bill either to the Catholic church or ‘social causes’? Shouldn’t we be given more choices? What does the church do with the money?
2. As people continue to pay good money to visit the place the Virgin Mary last appeared to three shepherds, how religious is Spain?
3. As Turkey also decides on a total smoking ban in public places, how long can Spain hold out? When will they finally ban smoking in bars and restaurants here as well?
