quote [ Police violence condemned around Europe as Catalans vote in independence referendum ]
Shit really hit the fan in Barcelona during the ‘illegal’ referendum for Catalan independence. Catalan police and firefighters protecting voters against Spanish police who try to stop the voting at all costs. Even with the referendum being made illegal, the Spanish government should do good stopping the excessive aggression against the Catalan people.

I have spent around six weeks in Spain on each of two occasions in the past decade. The number of times I heard someone say, "I am [insert regional identity], not Spanish' was fairly high. Walking into Galicia the local government has signs saying 'This is Galicia, not Spain.' The Basque folk you meet would all say the same thing (but they wouldn't say it is Spanish).
Every group in Spain seems to think they put in much more to Spain than they get out of Spain. I'm not sure how maths education is going in Spain, but I have my concerns.
I have no idea how this will play out, and Spain's history is not encouraging on this point, but it is not too hard to imagine that Spain breaks up...somehow...into something. There seems to be bugger all national feeling in the place, and some very strong, very cohesive regional identities.
One thing is certain though, the outfits will be gorgeous and the food fresh and delicious.
