Tom Sharpe: "I don't know anything about Spain. I am living in Catalonia"

One of the Spanish leading newspapers, El Mundo, publishes on the Sunday's magazine an interview with English satirical author Tom Sharpe. When the journalist asks Mr.Sharpe for his insights on the Spanish political arena, the answer (see above) leaves no room for the political correctness. Some paragraphs ahead, Tom Sharpe says former Spain's Prime Minister José María Aznar was a "stupid idiot". Talking about faith and religion, Sharpe goes "sharper": "I don't think that Christ was God's son, as a father who allows his son to be crucified, he is a pig". Sharpe, author of the Wilt series among other works, is currently living in Llafranc, Costa Brava, Catalonia.
