Always Be Aware Of Anti-Tourist Demonstrations


According to the London Daily Express, the most recent episode of anti-tourism in Europe happened on the streets of the Majorca capital city of Palma. The outspoken problems expressed by the marchers are inflation, street crowding and wage disputes by hotel and restaurant service employees.

Also, I’ve experienced filthy utterances from pioneer cursers including Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Richard Pryer, Sarah Silverman and other stand-up toilet mouths.
