Franco's tomb desecrated for political aggrandisement.

Does anyone really care? I had to google who it was...

Yeh I thought Franco was from trainspotting.

@Chris Wilson why is everything you post wrong?

EVERYTHING? I accept this may be an emotive event, but, like Brexit, opinions obviously vary. Here's a recent Spanish poll on how the polled citizens feel about the desecration:
43% supported the move, with 32.5% against and the rest undecided. Seems a sizeable percentage agree with me that he should have been left undisturbed. And a fair proportion were undecided.

Must be something he picks up at that pub

That is one of the daftest questions somebody has ever asked on here.

You should know seeing as you’ve been a member for what seems like a century.

This will be a thread to talk about in the years to come.
Adolph Hitler, he was alright. Had a lot of great ideas, couple of pretty bad ones too.

Jesus wept.

If you find discussion over his reburial so remarkable you should keep copies of recent newspapers and recordings of TV news

Absolutely and I know how to use Google to see why people care either way.

A sad indictment of our education system then...

Franco's tomb deserves to be desecrated on a daily basis.

 

[aardvark]

Sad to see that General Francisco Franco's remains have been moved from his beautiful mausoleum to the unremarkable El Pardo city cemetery to appease the left leaning government.

Meh. This sort of thing is nothing new historically.

 

[Boycey0211]

Must have been a good night down the imaginary pub again

 

[jpaul]

... as Quartz says nothing new in terms of historical dilema.
The adage 'if you fail to learn from history you are doomed to repeat it' and, like the preservation of the concentration camps, doesn't keeping the original tomb facilitate learning and knowledge. ...

 

[stockhausen]

No message.

 

[Chris Wilson]

Wasn't Franco's "beautiful mausoleum" built by slave labour?

Frankly, the misogynist, fascist dictator should have suffered the same fate as his idols Hitler & Mussolini.

It was partly built by prisoners of war. As you seem to infer that slave built structures are aesthetically inferior to those built by paid workers, what is your opinion on maintaining the pyramids, and their future?? The White House? The United States Capitol building? Are they somehow less elegant due to those who built them?

It's a joke.

It's a joke.

I was educated in the 80's/90's anyway. Did people actually learn anything in school. In my last year I used to get the bus in for 11am, sign the late book and start first break. Rest of day sit in science classrooms twiddling thumbs.
