Oddly, the Spanish boneheads were infiltrated by a Spanish journalist, ‘Antonio Salas’, whose experience formed the basis of his book Diario de un skin<\/em>. You can read an interview (in Spanish) with Salas about the Hammerskins and related stoopid here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Extract:<\/p>\n

“\u00bfHay voluntad pol\u00edtica real en Espa\u00f1a de atajar el tema de la extrema derecha?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Solo cuando un nuevo asesinato, como el de Lucrecia P\u00e9rez, Aitor Zabaleta, etc, sensibiliza a la opini\u00f3n p\u00fablica, y esta presiona a los pol\u00edticos, estos reaccionan. Entonces, y gracias a la presi\u00f3n medi\u00e1tica, se buscan medidas precipitadamente, se proponen soluciones, y se lamentan las v\u00edctimas. Despu\u00e9s, cuando la presi\u00f3n medi\u00e1tica mengua, los pol\u00edticos desplazan su atenci\u00f3n a temas que den m\u00e1s r\u00e9dito medi\u00e1tico. La pr\u00f3xima vez que los nazis maten a un aficionado, a un inmigrante, a un gay, a una prostituta, o a un jud\u00edo, los pol\u00edticos se rasgar\u00e1n las vestiduras, como si fuese la primera vez que ocurre. Pero algunos periodistas llevamos a\u00f1os denunciando esta realidad.”<\/p>\n

Are there real political will in Spain to tackle the issue of extreme right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Only when a new murder, like Lucrecia Perez, Aitor Zabaleta, etc, the public awareness, and this puts pressure on politicians, they react. Then, thanks to media pressure, is precipitately seeking measures are proposed solutions, and mourn the victims. Then when the media pressure wanes, politicians shift their attention to issues that give media more revenue. The next time that the Nazis killed an amateur, an immigrant, a gay, a prostitute, or a Jew, politicians will tear their hair, as if for the first time it occurs. But some journalists have spent years denouncing this reality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Members of the Australian franchise (the Southern Cross Hammerskins) and their supporters will be gathering in Brisbane in April<\/a> to celebrate Hitler’s birthday by getting drunk and listening to ‘orrible live muzak<\/a> aka<\/em> ‘Hammered Festival’ (April 21).<\/p>\n

Silly buggers.<\/p>\n
