El incansable blog Arabic Literature (in English) An exception in content and highlights today the imminent publication of a book not Arabic but Pashtun: Poetry of the Taliban. Yes: Poetry of the Taliban.

UK, where part of this initiative, has opened a heated debate questioning the publication. For reasons of literature, will say. On. For ethical reasons. Richard Kemp, former commander of British troops in Helmand (Afghanistan) has been the outcry calling the enemy's propaganda book. Literally.

So read, Commander seems concerned that “its” people discover that the Taliban have the potential sentimientos.Por British public's empathy with the enemy. Empathy! For it is certainly a major problem, because the salary is doing it. It's hard to bomb messing with someone empathize. You can disagree, but I have a feeling that empathy, the feeling in your stomach what the other feels, opening mechanisms which run through other channels. Pathways, clearly, do not require military commanders or.

I can not but admire Mr. Kemp and his belief in the transformative power of poetry. We could try. Start a campaign to send one poetry (or a) the other (or other). Let's see what happens. I ask Albiol, Mayor xenophobic Badalona. Here. Send him a book of Ibn Arabi, a poet from there. A Moor. Although, Gee! a Moor born in Murcia. Is our Murcia? On…, the other, of when Murcia was nothing… And how will I live here, but there? Only with this idea and would entertain the mayor during the years that will last for mayor…

But we return to Afghanistan, because the journalist Monica Bernabe, resident (Resident!) in that country today published an article in El Mundo on Shamsia Hassani grafitera. Can not read on the internet and, of time, Barnabas did not have a blog to follow (it will come). We still buy The World, whose staff, remember, ERE is facing a (You can follow him on # elfindeElMundo).

Never thought I would write this, but the truth is that I'm going to fucking taste Rajoy cuts. Especially when it affects the subject that fascinates me so much to me: immigration ® . Or in Spanish castizo, loud and clear as day and age: Blacks.

When the cuts affect blacks birth I laugh. I find it sexy that does not give medical assistance to a person in an irregular situation. In a black ilegal. For only missing! Does an illegal black listed something to deserve the public health? On. A definite no. An illegal black tomatoes purchase without VAT, sneaks into the subway and not pay taxes on the water you drink steals as the public sources, least in Badalona, where have been closed to kill thirst and finish before. An illegal black to the back part to enrich the landlords (How beautiful greenhouses!) or generate wealth and enjoy it deserves. (Y, remember: black is not working illegal to not pay your taxes. Is your employer, white, which are not paid for their work).

(The hippies of human rights will the outcry when they read this post, but I do not see that relationship may have human rights with illegal black. We're not talking about Barak Obama, Ladies and Gentlemen, so handsome and so well dressed. Here we are discussing real black).

I propose to Rajoy other measures may not have calculated. Have you thought how much it will cost to collect the bodies of all these illegal black, now no option to doctor, palmando possibly end up in the street? A bundle, clearly. On top of that come to die here, (mortal tourism, I think his name) that want to bury… And unlisted!

It is cheaper to let their bodies in the streets. And if they died from something contagious that nobody has come to identify early, for better. With 5 and a half million unemployed, nobody will deny that a small epidemic we would do well to improve a little our numbers at the end of quarter. Merkel would be happy. Total, 6 millions more or less…

“The 22 @ Barcelona, through space for professionals drives the creation of a network of formal and informal relationship that foster the creation of projects of local and international business cooperation, social cohesion and improve business and increase the quality of living and working in the 22 @ Barcelona”.

Here's how it advertises the website of the City of Barcelona technology district its idyllic Poblenou. I went to see the definition following the death of four people, burned in their hut in the heart of the magnificent place. Boy, planners have managed to improve informal relationships and social cohesion! Too bad these slum dwellers no longer be voice to tell…

Following the thread of the story, ignites the family had lived in that lot just… a decade. Ten years. Yesterday, and who says. Doing a quick count, since 2001. The mayor proclaimed Maragall in the year 1992 the end of shanty (horizontal) Barcelona so, without need for further research, and see how much we took the party.

Just a few days ago we published an entry over the years shanty 50 Barcelona, that the Olympic Games “achieved” eradicate. The City (Press) signal just the old barracks areas that had quietly tried to erase from the collective memory. Voucher. We have beach Somorrostro. Is welcome. But the board does not answer the question of what happens in this city (world) cannibal with living conditions. Why feed the space with our lives is not able to procure a decent place (and fire insurance) in which, precisely, live.

At what point we accept the idea that the roof must deserve, Why fight it with no sweat, I do not know what tears. That may or (ups!) have not. That a city (we are each and all) can completely abandon a portion of its inhabitants and move on so quiet, so happy, as if nothing…
