Disgusting scenes yesterday. The silence from the rest of the world over the conduct of Spain is astonishing.

They are OUR sons of bitches, go figure.
Apart from any moral issues, I was somewhat astonished that Rajoy should be so monumentally stupid as to hand the moral high ground to the independence movement, in a present box, with compliments. Gunning down people at a polling station, even if it's rubber bullets "only", is close to optimal if you are keen to take the asshole role.
And then saying "there was no referendum", oh you fucktard.

There has to be a point, surely, when you're dragging a woman by the hair away from a polling booth and throwing her down the stairs that you consider that maybe you're one of the baddies.

Yes, very much so.
Catalonia has announced it plans to announce independence on Monday. News agencies now reporting that Spain are moving army units into Catalonia.

Well indeed, but you'd like to think there'd be no such thing in modern Europe.

My image of this tragedy is two trains approaching each other on the same track. The drvers both now full wellthey are on a collision course, and they both bring their engine to top speed because they are absolutely convinced thy have the goddam RIGHT to steer their train on the ourse tvey think is the correct one, and if tve other guy is too stupid to see it, tough luck for him.
It's a tragedy in the disguise of a travesty.
