Catalonia referendum: Thousands rally for Spanish unity

[scooterscot]

There's something you'll not see in England when Scotland holds a referendum. Quite the opposite in fact. Sign of our times.

Thousands of people calling for Spanish unity have attended rallies in the capital Madrid after Sunday's disputed referendum for Catalan independence.
Other demonstrations - including in the Catalan city Barcelona - have also been held urging political dialogue.

Protesters dressed in white gathered with signs saying "Spain is better than its leaders" and "let's talk".

Businesses have continued to announce their departure from the Catalan region amid the ongoing political uncertainty.

The Caixa Foundation, which controls one of the Spain's largest banks, announced it was moving its headquarters to Palma de Mallorca while the crisis continues.

The simple fact is every time you lot wheel out the Krankie, we come over all nauseous, and start thinking "just ******** get it all over with". The trouble with you jocks is you can't even agree amongst yourselves whether you want to be independent, so you really should be a bit more understanding when we can't be arsed to give a sh!t.

You Scots want independence? Then as far as I'm concerned, like other country in the former British Empire, you have a right to self-determination and to become a nation state.

Forcing an area of the UK or an overseas territory to be governed in a way they don't want is simply not on.

This is the main reason why lots of people especially younger ones don't have an issue if Scots vote in the majority for independence.

Hence the Scottish situation is completely different from the Spanish regions one.

Could Wales be next?

WALES could be the next European region to declare freedom after independence campaigners took to the streets today in support of last week’s Catalonia referendum.

It's all happening

It's all happening

Around 40 people attended the public event in Llangefni town centre, which was backed by Welsh independence movement ‘Yes Cymru’ today.

40? As revolutions go, it's not exactly up there with the Russian or French efforts. So when you say "it's all happening", well, it sort of "isn't", really...

You Scots want independence?

Past... Some do, but most don't. Some of the 'some' struggle with simple maths and so think they are in a majority.

That's because the rest of Spain Don't want to lose Catalan tax revenue. Whereas England doesn't care about losing Scottish tax revenue, as the English pay out a greater amount to the Scottish in public spending.
