QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Oct 1 2017, 06:10 PM) At least we are civilized enough to allow the Scots a free vote. Spanish bad. Where is the condemnation from Juncker and Tusk? Shame on the EU. Walk of shame Juncker.... Thought he was a prick long before this poked it's head above the parapet . The autonomous community of Spain may or may not be in favour of such a plebiscite but , as in any democratic Country , they are entitled to one if a enough public feeling dictates . Like you said , the Scots will keep having one until they either get their way or give up , but that is their choice and it should be , and is , respected .

QUOTE (newres @ Oct 1 2017, 08:37 PM) No, Theresa May refused one. They have had one and I certainly dont remember us sending thousands of riot police up North to smash up the ballot boxes and beat up old ladies. Selective memory? I dare say the Scots will get another one. And when they do we will let democracy decide. Unlike the Spanish Government who want to live in Junckers new USE. Dictatorship.

Where are the re-moaning federal supporters now ? Bit ironic that those who purport to have liberal , ( small L .....but there again ) , views are in essence supporting the suppression of democracy . Care to comment Mr Cable ?

QUOTE (newres @ Oct 5 2017, 09:30 AM) Since when is nationalism something that liberal minded people get excised about? It's not as though the Catalans are discriminated against that I know of? My point being is that the liberal ,( with both small and large L ) , element of this Country are by and large pro EU and therefore consider Jean-Claude Juncker some sort of deity . His view on the Spanish issue ? Haven't a clue , but he is supposedly looking after the interests of ALL European citizens . The Catalonians are seeking to distance themselves from a central government , ( in this case Madrid ) as opposed to an increasingly federal Europe but this new found nationalism that is appearing over the whole Continent is the result of centralisation from Brussels . Do not confuse membership of the Common Market with European Union . People run Countries not political wannabes and National identity should be respected not suppressed .
