Extremadura government to pay for wanking workshops
We’re in for a long recession: if the Extremadura PSOE says that pleasure is in your hands (via PD), then presumably they know that Spaniards aren’t going to be able to afford prostitutes for the foreseeable future. There’s been the predictable outcry from Catalan nationalists who believe they are subsidising Extremaduran tosspots and other spendthrift silliness, all of which is clearly distinct from this, or this, or this.

Wow, I’d never seen La Voz de Barcelona before. Is this what happens when you turn into a UPyD supporter? Reading websites that use horrors like ‘Generalidad’ just to make a point? Or did you make it up?

The Generality’s style guide (somewhere) says that “Generalidad” is the correct usage in Spanish, hence the 265,000 ghits for it on their site.

Apparently the materials may have been absurd, but the idea of a wanking campaign can’t be adduced from them. What a shame.
