¡Olé!
I know it's probably not a major point but it is one I've mentioned before (about a month ago) and one that intrigues me, so here we go again...Up till about the Spring of this year, the BBC's coverage of Spanish politics focused to a striking extent on Spain's far-left, populist, anti-austerity answer to Greece's Syriza, Podemos, led by the pony-tailed political science lecturer Pablo Iglesias.

Love Song
One of the things about the kind of political debate you hear on the BBC is the mangling of language for political purposes.Calling people 'anti-European' when they are actually pro-European but 'anti-EU' is one example. Calling people 'anti-immigrant' or 'anti-immigration' when they are actually in favour of controlled immigration is another.All of which is something of an excuse to post a favour

Nicaraguans can grow their own food, but not without land
     Who has the right to own land?      In countries like Canada, we decided some time ago that it’s either government, aboriginals or people with enough money to buy their own piece of tierra firma, and many of us get by just fine without owning land. While almost 70 per cent of Canadians own their own homes, it’s not a prerequisite to happiness.      But the issue is more complex in countries l

The Anti-Imperialism of Fools

I Agree With Tony Blair
I started the year with Tony Blair, so there's a certain poetry that a post about him helps close the year off. His Blairness, in a fairly substantial piece takes time out to reflect on his time in government.

Is Donald Trump a Fascist?
