They’ve nailed Jack Kelley of USA Today, so when are we going to hear some news from Josep Maria Casasús on the fate of La Vanguardia’s plagiarising illiterate, Rafael Ramos? (Here he is with some more porkies in the Independent, full text on al-Jazeerah.)
Half of Spain has been walking round for the past decade chanting “Aznar, murderer,” which is demonstrably untrue, and nothing at all has happened. Now a kid down in Seville has put a picture on his website of some virgin (sorry, Our Lady of Hope of Triana) with a willy in her hand and a…
If this story on the German network, ARD, is true, then Aznar, Acebes and/or some of their civil servants could be looking at prison terms.

Kijk, zeiden een paar radicalen hier, Franquista doet oliedeal met gekke dictator. Niets nieuws, dus. Maar nu zegt Libertad Digital dat het paard…
Please ignore this if you believe that it doesn’t matter if a reputable newspaper publishes contributions by a journalist apparently prone to plagiarism, invention, and illiteracy. Otherwise it’s curtains up on the latest episode in the saga of the scribbler (Rafael Ramos), the ombudsman (Josep Maria Casasús), and their publisher (La Vanguardia). (You will find…
