Re: were branded "criminals" by Spanish officials
Thankin' you Veti! I disagree slightly that there is no comparison. Catalonia is one of the wealthiest areas of Spain, Scotland is one of the poorer in the UK - would be as rich as Norway though if we'd invested our oil though. Scotland always was a nation with an independent legal system, et cetera, Catalonia not so much.
I have Catalan neighbours in Edinburgh who hung their flags out their windows. They don't do that now, scared of European Arrest Warrants.
I love most English people, really lovely neighbours, just terrible landlords. Centuries ago it used to be a fight to the death, now it's a civil dispute with the emphasis on civil. Spain should grow the muck up and realise democracy is more than just a majority, it's also about checks and balances.
