Not good but I wouldn't want them beaten up. If it were deemed a legal process then what could we do about that? If it were deemed illegal then the result of any vote would be ignored in any event.
This hasn't happened out of the blue it's been going on for years and clearly whatever grievances there are very deep rooted and haven't been resolved.
If we spool forward and the vote is for independence, who's going to recognise an independent Catalonia I wonder and how would that work out in the real world? The EU clearly won't and will be as obstructive as it can be for obvious reasons so what benefit would there be to the region of separation as opposed to the huge risks/costs?

Yes Sturgeon's been very quiet about that lately, I wonder why.
