You would have thought the head of the EU commission, in fact any of the commissioners would have had something to say about it - but silence. I wanted UK to stay together and for Scotland to stay, but I wouldnt want our Police baton charging old ladies out of the polling booth to stop them voting.
The head of the EU and commissioners have no choice but to keep quiet since, however appalling the situation is, Spain will argue that what is happening with the Catalans is illegal
