Particularly, one suspects, if the directors of the taxpayer-funded Permanent Seminar on International Migration and Foreigners (“an open space for Interculturality and Human Rights“) in Aragon attend home matches of SD Huesca, whose major achievement to date was fifth place in the Second Division in the 1950-1 season. Via Miguel Moliné Escalona, who lists a number of other pro-violence teams and governments.
In other anti-racism news, Tony Barber says it’s time for the European (Romance?) media to stop calling the inhabitants of more advanced countries (not his words) “Anglo-Saxons.” Hear, here.

[...] Check out this substantial bombshell being chucked at the Spanish establishment at all levels and in all territories for its collective refusal to confront (indeed for its participation in) the flagrant, widespread, long-term abuse of individual property rights.
