As to posting more often, I would very much like to, but unfortunately it's hard enough to find time to get round to posting at YuriBCN.blogspot.com!YuriBCNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17586277542852216188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930349454858793874.post-60011021031842811912010-12-09T20:05:08.616+01:002010-12-09T20:05:08.616+01:00Yes, it is a good compilation of Catalanophobia, b...Yes, it is a good compilation of Catalanophobia, but it lacks the gems left by our other neighbours. You know, the ones who are so quick to gloat about liberty, equality and human rights.<br /><br />A must add is the 2004 comment made, in the middle of a regional council session, might I point out, by its then president George Frêche: "Le catalan c'est un patois que n'interesse personne"<br /><br />"Catalan is a [french (one must assume)] dialect that no one gives a **** (choose your explative) about"<br /><br />There's also the declaration explaining why all official documents were to be written exclusively in french from 1700 onwards. (Because hearing catalan is unpleasant on the ears and provoques wretching and nausea) As well as the wonderfull message painted on a class-room wall of a school in Aiguatèbia which read "Soyez propres, parlez français".<br /><br />"Be clean, speak french"<br /><br />I'm with Rab on this one.

That is the economic future of Catalonia within Spain: zero. <br /><br />You should post more often!Rabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16537773508053082477noreply@blogger.com
