there is no such similarity in Catalunya

Doesn't really work as a compelling argument for the EU does it?

It's also not really internal given the declaration of independence either.

EU are f*cked whatever they do tbh. That's why their approach has been a case of sticking their fingers in their ears and pretending nothing is happening.

Fact is, Spanish politicians have been involved in orchestrating violence against the people. THE EU has rules about that kind of thing.

The Eu has never got itself involved in Northern Ireland has it ?

Even when the Paras shoot loads on Bloody Sunday.

The Eu has only ever been a political organisation and the peace in
Europe has been a bye product of that.

NATO is what has guaranteed peace and freedom in Europe but has not intervened in the internal affairs of member states.

Your assertions are a mish mash of anti EU nonsense lacking in factual backing. Fake News as the Ginger Numpty would say.

Not true, Athletic Madrid are the team that the Spanish royalty traditional support and is the current kings team.

NATO has of course guaranteed peace. My whole point was that the EU talking shop project is an utter joke. Pedantically, under EU rules Spain could be expelled.

EU is falling to pieces. We're getting out at the right time.

*That they are admitting

According to Yanis Varoufakis, the EU is micromanaged by the unelected Eurogroup.
