Announced 30 mins before kick off v Las Palmas
Apparently over 500 people have been injured, as the globalist supporting state police were hitting old ladies over the head with battons while trying to stop them from voting. Praise the lord for Brexit :ayatollah:

Local Catalan police confront the EU police sent from Madrid.

This is not going to end well, local Catalan firefighters are also becoming victims of EU backed police brutality.

And you are a bit uninformed.Quote:

It's because Catalonia is one of the richest regions of Spain. Spanish government want to destroy any referendum for economic reasons. They also don't want the Basques kicking off either.Quote:

It's also worth pointing out the EU view of democracy is "you must agree with us" - see the number of referendums, Ireland in particular, where the populace were gently reminded to vote again - the right way this time.
Not really, few years ago it was as little as 70/30 (for those that gave a f***), pushing towards the vote today it would have been about 55/45. After today's events i'd say it's probably finally gone the other way of about 45/55 in favour of an independent Catalunya.Quote:

The EU also said that Catalonia would not automatically be part of the EU after independence, and it would depend on the other members whether they could join or not. A veiled threat perhaps?Quote:

What the EU said there is factually correct, that's the process for applying for membership.
Was it intended as a veiled threat.. eh... I think it's more the case senior EU members are crapping themselves over what to say so just stick to those facts.
Roll on Independence for Catalonia and Wales!!!! Welsh and European
Guardia Civil are members of the European Gendarmerie Force.Quote:
