Instead of allowing the vote to go ahead and then calling it of no real significance, the Spanish government have played straight into the Catalan hands. I doubt anyone outside Spain understand the Catalan claim for independence as I'm sure the history is long and complicated. However the pictures being sent around the world make for awful viewing. For Brits in the north of England it looked like the tactics used by Thatcher to break the miners strike. However even she drew the line at dragging old ladies out by their hair and battoning them and stamping on them. Shame on the cowards.
Just watched the news on TV."Peaceful coexistence " ,if this how the politicians and police think they have done their best to encourage dialogue by the thuggish,violence then viva Catalonia.
