Things are complicated and it makes my brain hurt

Things are complicated and it makes my brain hurt

By our resident curmudgeon, Y. O. Wye

Why can't the entire population of Mallorca make up their minds about what they want?

Some people say they want fewer tourists. But then some other people say they want economic growth.

Some people say they want to protect the environment, and yet some people still drop litter!

Honestly, I'm fed up. It's quite baffling how this could happen.

Why can't almost a million people just agree on something for once? Here at Mallorca Fake News, the entire editorial staff has no trouble agreeing on when to start drinking, so it's the same principle, just scaled up a bit. Let's get the entire population of the island get together and all agree exactly on what they want. Then, and only then, can we even begin to think about doing anything to actually fix any of the problems that we face.

(Is this OK? 150 words, more or less. I could murder a caña.)


I agree with Nigel

Trump's actions come as hundreds of thousands of European tourists are cancelling their US holiday plans in favour of somewhere closer to home. Said a White House spokesperson: "People seem to be afraid to come to America right now, so we need to make them afraid to vacation in Europe too. The President is going to level the playing field. And indeed Magaluf too." German Chancellor Friedrich Merz was last night reported to be in crisis talks with senior figures in the T...

90-in-180 day rule to be discussed by Trump, Putin, Zelenskyy

90-in-180 day rule to be discussed by Trump, Putin, Zelenskyy By our European affairs correspondent, Pablo Honey Mallorca Fake News has learned that the post-Brexit rule that allows British visitors to spend no more than 90 days out of any 180 in the Schengen area will be a key item on the table at the forthcoming peace talks between US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, scheduled for Riyadh next month. A spokesman for President Putin said: "Although the three of us disagree about many things, we are united in our determination to stop British expat news outlets wanging on about this issue, just because one of their editors has a mate with a villa near Mijas that he used to basically live in full-time under the radar. Seriously, if Zelenskyy could just get the nod from Sánchez we would be able to take the place out with a Kinzhal hypersonic missile in under an hour." President Zelenskyy's spokesperson add...
