Not sure but support for independence there must be growing seeing all this?
Mental scenes in Catalonia is anyone watching? Not sure what I was expecting, but wasn't expecting it to be as bad as that. Videos all over Twitter of people bloodied, being thrown around and hit with batons. Rubber bullets as well. |

Barcelona play later though might be postponed, Las Palmas are planning to wear Spanish flags on their kits, in support of Spain. They just posted a photo on their Twitter. |

I respect Spain's sovereignty and understand why they'd be driven to try to stop the vote, but the way they're handling it is awful. Counterintuitive too, this will only drive more people (including formerly neutral Catalonians) to support Catalonia.

That mess in Spain has an uncomfortably authoritatian police state feel to it. It makes me sad to see this kind of thing happen in one of the most stable and peaceful parts of Europe. I thought we were above this kind of thing. Proof that governments are never your friend, honestly. It doesn't even matter whether the Catalan vote has constitutional backing or not, it's how the government tries to shut it down that says everything.

If this were any other forum on the internet the Franco jokes would be flying.
