Spanish president Zapatero is finding himself in a bit of hot water over the financial condition of the Republic, which seems to be only a high-yield bond of two from that of Greece. For those of you who find the topic boring, that means broke.
Zap, as he is locally known, is blaming this on a conspiracy against Spain by the Anglo media. Sure, Zap. Everybody knows that the Brits have had it in for you ever since the Spanish Armada lost what should have been an easy romp to Lord Nelson. Europeans know how to carry a grudge.
My take is that Zap may have hit on something here. After all Spain's imminent bankruptcy seems to be the result of an overly ambitious socialist government. Never heard of that happening, right? But wait! Maybe it is. And guess what? The Communist Manifesto was first published (in German) in London by a group of German political refugees in 1848. The bedrock blueprint for the whole fiasco.
So there you are: Spain's collapse is the fault of British media.
