Getting tense in Catalonia now. Police told to shut down the polling booths by 6am tomorrow, guys are occupying them now in advance so they can't be shut down tomorrow. Just seen a guy in a school being asked what they're doing by a reporter, "We're here to celebrate the start of autumn." "Nothing to do with the referendum then?" "No."

Seems like there will be trouble tomorrow. Surely it would be better to allow the referendum but make it clear it's not legally binding.
