From Alex Duval Smith's article on Picasso as an 'undesireable':



Anarchists were the Islamic fundamentalists of the early twentieth century. 'The police did their job. They were watched and, as is the case today, 90 per cent of suspects were innocent.' In the late 1890s, anarchists carried out several bomb attacks in France, including one on parliament, and they assassinated French president Sadi Carnot.
