Catalonia
 

Thought we could have a thread for this.

Catalans declare independence as Madrid imposes direct rule - BBC News

To quote a DDL movie: "There will be blood." :( Spanish are fascists, plain and simple.

Charlie Brooker's 2017 Wipe is getting more and more epic with each passing day.

****! Where's that on? I love that guy!!! :yikes:

Presumably the end of the year when they air. I just mean that he's got a lot of material to play off of this year, even more so than last year, and last year's was insane.

Ah. ****. I thought you meant it was on at the moment. Silly me. Of course it would only be on at the end of the year. Looking forward to it though.

Saw this to the right of the article. Will Europe's problems never end?

Is there a butter crisis in France? - BBC News

Is Spain the new Yugoslavia?

You have to wonder. The pure fascism (that is right, isn't it? If they're imposing their rule over a region of the country that clearly wants independence, it's fascism?) of the Spanish government is going to plunge the whole country into civil war. Why not just work it out with the Catalans? Smacks of Putinism to me.

Yeah, but not something that should be encouraged while humanity is supposedly moving beyond imperialism.
