Re: Riot police in stand off as illegal Catalonia independence vote begins
It makes you appreciate how the UK, including the nationalists, handled the question of Scottish independence. The SNP sought a legal referendum, the UK have it, and it was largely peaceful.
The Spanish government have badly misjudged this. There will be a lot more sympathy to Catalonia after this. Shocking scenes to have people beaten attempting to vote, even if the vote itself is provocative and unwise.
