" Not condemned the violence in Catalonia? 900 people injured by the police for trying to vote. " There but for the grace of God go I, and they might want to use that degree of violence on their own people in the future without condemnation? | |||

"Each countries contribution to the EU is based on the size of their economy Without Catalunya, Spain will need to renegotiate the Spanish contribution to a much lower figure Without the UK's 12 - 14% contribution, the loss of Catalunya is potentially another nail in the EU's coffin Neither Spain or the EU can afford to lose Catalunya " So you're saying that the EU will ignore such action against unarmed civilians trying to vote as long as it suits the EU agenda. | |||

"what part of britain's anti-eu agenda does it suit for the british government to condone spain unleashing state violence against it's own people?" It's a good question A question many people in Catalunya, the Basque region, Andorra and Gibraltar and a few free thinking people in Spain often ask? Why is the EU and even the UK standing silent while Spain bullies all of these regions and has done for decades without question? | |||

" Not condemned the violence in Catalonia? 900 people injured by the police for trying to vote. " For the same reason they did not condemn the British government when it ordered police to attack striking miners in 1984 or any other member states legal policing of its country. It is not a matter for the EU it is an internal matter for Spain to deal with. | |||

Were this in Eastern Europe, all the EU nations would be condeming the violence and calling for Catalunya to be a sovreign state - compare and contrast: Kosovo. " None of the former Yugoslavia states were part of the EU so neither was Kosovo. Therefore what happened happened there was no a matter of internal policy for a member state but an matter of international policy that the EU had a right to comment on which it did and more. Remember it was an EU multinational force that attempted to quell the violence when no others would act. | |||

" Not condemned the violence in Catalonia? 900 people injured by the police for trying to vote. " The EU has made no secret of the fact that they don't really like democracy. I feel the police brutality inflicted upon the Catalan people who just wanted a democratic vote has been totally counter productive and has actually made independence for Catalonia inevitable now, it's not a matter of if but when. The violence committed by the Spanish state and the police who enforced it will have only made the Catalan resolve to leave and become independent stronger. I saw some Catalonians carrying some anti EU banners in Barcelona on sky news yesterday which read "EU your silence kills us!" The silence from the EU heads like Juncker and Tusk on the police brutality at the weekend in Catalonia is utterly shameful but not surprising. Catalonia will not only leave Spain but when they claim independence as a nation state they will also automatically leave the corrupt club in Brussels and this will be yet another nail in the coffin of the failing EU. | |||

The silence from the EU heads like Juncker and Tusk on the police brutality at the weekend in Catalonia is utterly shameful but not surprising. Catalonia will not only leave Spain but when they claim independence as a nation state they will also automatically leave the corrupt club in Brussels and this will be yet another nail in the coffin of the failing EU. " Wrong YET AGAIN just something to get your teeth into with YOUR hatred of the EU... The EU executive urged Spain to talk to Catalan separatists on Monday, condemning violence but also calling for unity, a day after Spanish police beat people trying to vote in an independence referendum in Catalonia. Edging into a minefield it has tried hard to avoid, despite a danger for stability in Spain and the euro zone, the European Commission issued a cautiously balanced statement. It voiced trust in Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's ability to manage this "internal matter", but also called for dialogue and reminded Madrid of a need to respect citizens' basic rights. "We call on all relevant players to now move very swiftly from confrontation to dialogue. Violence can never be an instrument in politics," the Commission said in a statement read out by chief spokesman Margaritis Schinas, just before Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont asked for EU mediation http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/eu-spain-catalonia-referendum-1.4316585 | |||

Is that what you meant? | |||

"Yet most people think that had the right outcome, and was the right thing to do, don't they? " Actions effects are absolutes. Actions historical outcomes are subjective. Personally I am an ideological supporter of integration and an opponent of division. However, I realise that at times one has to reverse ones course and suffer the losses caused by division to eventually fully integrate and progress. | |||

Terrible move from spain." true but i don't think they will this time because the optics are going to look awful.... if the catalan parliament does try and declare independence then argeument i would make is that only 42% of the entire population voted on an illegal referedum because you changed to rules to force it thru... that is an arguement you can win..... because no country are going to ratify or acknowledge it... | |||

"The Catalans need to take the moral high ground here, and insist on no confrontation in exchange for meaningful talks." Spain has refused dialogue and by sending in the army they are inviting violence.They'll create martyrs. | |||

So you are refusing to answer the question, yet again! There are quite a few posters on the various threads who have said that the referendum was illegal. You might disagree with that, and think that laws shouldn't apply, courts should be ignored, constitutions ripped up, however there are others who believe in the rule of law, think it applies equally to everyone and shouldn't be abandoned. A national government was democratically elected. A constitution was written. You think that it's democracy to ignore the laws passed by that government, and to ignore the constitution. It's not, that is not democracy. | |||

The topic being discussed is with regards to the state having a monopoly on the use of force and the legitimacy, or otherwise to bring that force to bear. | |||

again it was the mid 1800s and was a war fs lol. so beating the shit out of PEACEFULL people is right? Let's apply your logic to any sort of peacefull protest then because really that's what this was.i suppose you would be fine with what happend to Martin Luther king and his followers during his peacefull protests and apply that to any peacefull protest.all Spain has to do to enforce the law was ignore the result as it wasent legal anyway not beat the shit out what was a peacefull protest in the form of a vote.instead of diverting answers with irrelevent assumptions why can't you just answear a simple question that is relevant to the thread.why do you support violence as a response to peacefull voting or protests.
You complain about irrelevant assumptions, then start talking about MLK and telling me what I think about him!
MLK has nothing to do with independence.
Please can you quote me where I have supported violence? "MLK has everything to do with freedom and rebellion and how many laws did he break.?How many beatings did his people take trying to vote illegally. You're cherry picking the ground you wish to fight your argument on.We all like to pull the argument off shaky ground. It wont end well. | |||

I think its relevant, you are happy to say its wrong for the Spanish police to enforce the law, but wont say the Union was wrong to fight a bloody civil war to stop the independence of the southern states. Both are state violence to stop independence.
again it was the mid 1800s and was a war fs lol. so beating the shit out of PEACEFULL people is right? Let's apply your logic to any sort of peacefull protest then because really that's what this was.i suppose you would be fine with what happend to Martin Luther king and his followers during his peacefull protests and apply that to any peacefull protest.all Spain has to do to enforce the law was ignore the result as it wasent legal anyway not beat the shit out what was a peacefull protest in the form of a vote.instead of diverting answers with irrelevent assumptions why can't you just answear a simple question that is relevant to the thread.why do you support violence as a response to peacefull voting or protests.
You complain about irrelevant assumptions, then start talking about MLK and telling me what I think about him!
MLK has nothing to do with independence.
Please can you quote me where I have supported violence?
MLK has everything to do with freedom and rebellion and how many laws did he break.?How many beatings did his people take trying to vote illegally.
You're cherry picking the ground you wish to fight your argument on.We all like to pull the argument off shaky ground.
It wont end well.

No, because the civil war was about independence, and MLK wasn't.

MLK didn't campaign to have one part of a country to become independent. The Civil War was about that, so was the vote in Catalonia. Is that really too complicated for you to understand?
You seem to really be struggling with the concept that people think that the laws imposed by democratically elected leaders should be followed. Why is that so hard for you to grasp?

If they were registered to vote, then they were legally allowed to vote. What side of history am I on Bob? I'm just calling you out on what YOU have said. You said that people voted illegally, I'm asking you when, you haven't yet answered. | |||

" Unfortunately in democracy sometimes people vote for things you disagree with. It doesn't mean looking for reasons to stop the vote is acceptable. Would you describe the US civil war as a suppression of independence then? I don't care about the US civil war. Nice diversion though. This is Europe now. You, the EU and Madrid don't like the potential outcome. Therefore a blind eye to the stomping of people hoping for democracy is ok? Strange set of morals you have. Where have I turned a blind eye exactly? You were the one saying that I should feel shame for not wanting to see more victims of a civil war, remember? It's interesting that you think Catalonia should have independence, however refuse to answer the same question about the US civil war. Does it make you feel uncomfortable to support the independence of slave keeping states?both sides were racist and both sides kept slaves and didint give a fuck about them.If you think that the civil was was about people in power being nice and wanting to free slaves then you need to read real history not just the American version lol.don't know what relivence this has to people wanting to vote peacefully and getting there head kicked in for it anyway lol. Because the south wanted independence from the Union (the North) like Catalonia wants independence from Spain. Can you really not see the relevance? it was in the mid 18 hundreds and was under completely diferent circumstances and has absolutely no relevance to people wanting to vote and getting attacked by there goverment for doing so peacefully in 2017 .instead of diverting to the civil war nonsense why don't you just say what you think on the matter of this thread.why do you support what happend?
I think its relevant, you are happy to say its wrong for the Spanish police to enforce the law, but wont say the Union was wrong to fight a bloody civil war to stop the independence of the southern states. Both are state violence to stop independence.
again it was the mid 1800s and was a war fs lol. so beating the shit out of PEACEFULL people is right? Let's apply your logic to any sort of peacefull protest then because really that's what this was.i suppose you would be fine with what happend to Martin Luther king and his followers during his peacefull protests and apply that to any peacefull protest.all Spain has to do to enforce the law was ignore the result as it wasent legal anyway not beat the shit out what was a peacefull protest in the form of a vote.instead of diverting answers with irrelevent assumptions why can't you just answear a simple question that is relevant to the thread.why do you support violence as a response to peacefull voting or protests.
You complain about irrelevant assumptions, then start talking about MLK and telling me what I think about him!
MLK has nothing to do with independence.
Please can you quote me where I have supported violence? Jesus I was simply showing you why your nonsense about the civil war could be applied to anything.If that made you think wtf where did that come from and how is that even relevent then now you know how everybody else feels with your poor attempts at a shitty politicians response that you seem to rely on.il ask you yet again and let's not divert from anything else or any random assumptions.are you or are you not on the side of the Spanish goverment on this matter and why.look how long this msg has gone on for and you can't answear that simple question.
No, because the civil war was about independence, and MLK wasn't.
Now you are changing it from do I support violence (no) to, do I support the Spanish government (yes). Jesus Christ the civil war was olso about slavery and racism like MLK but can't you see why I said that in the first place it was supposed to show how stupid your reply about the civil war was and how irrelevant it is to the thread topic but can we please stop going on about it now haha.finally I got half an answear from you but can you say why you support the Spanish goverment on this issue as to say you don't support violence but you support what happend dosent make sense.
MLK didn't campaign to have one part of a country to become independent. The Civil War was about that, so was the vote in Catalonia. Is that really too complicated for you to understand?
You seem to really be struggling with the concept that people think that the laws imposed by democratically elected leaders should be followed. Why is that so hard for you to grasp? Do you follow laws? again you are talking nonsense and can't answear a simple question.why do u support the Spanish goverment on what happend.that's what this whole thread is about .
The referendum is against the law. of course it was. so all that had to be done was ignore it not beat the shit out of them fs.If that happend ouside the eu like in Russia the western world would be going nuts and demanding sanctions.If you think the referendum was against the law (which it was ) then fine but by saying you support the Spanish goverment on this matter then you are clearly supporting the violence on the people because that is simply what happend fact. Thanks for the answear finally after hours of irrelevance.and please don't msg back "but the civil war " haha .
Right, so if you agree that it's illegal, then you support the Spanish government too then!
My position has been crystal clear all along, you don't even understand your own position so I'm not surprised you struggle with other peoples. "my position is the referendum was illigal but in no way does that mean I support the Spanish goverment and the violence they used as it could of been handled far easier so no I don't support them.why do you support them? Is it simply because the referendum was illegal therefore you support the use of violence on peacefull people. | |||

The referendum is against the law. of course it was. so all that had to be done was ignore it not beat the shit out of them fs.If that happend ouside the eu like in Russia the western world would be going nuts and demanding sanctions.If you think the referendum was against the law (which it was ) then fine but by saying you support the Spanish goverment on this matter then you are clearly supporting the violence on the people because that is simply what happend fact. Thanks for the answear finally after hours of irrelevance.and please don't msg back "but the civil war " haha .
Right, so if you agree that it's illegal, then you support the Spanish government too then!
My position has been crystal clear all along, you don't even understand your own position so I'm not surprised you struggle with other peoples. my position is the referendum was illigal but in no way does that mean I support the Spanish goverment and the violence they used as it could of been handled far easier so no I don't support them.why do you support them? Is it simply because the referendum was illegal therefore you support the use of violence on peacefull people.
Did you support the miners or the IRA or the Ulster Unionists at the time or are you cherry picking as well...as our government of the time sent in the police and the army to quell them what the hell does that have to do with peacefull people getting there heads caved in for being completely peacefull and wanting to vote on something that was irrelevent anyway.and to answear you question I don't support any goverment or any violent protests.
Because they start off peaceful thats why let me get this straight.you think it's fine to use violence because violence may happen?so all the peacefull protests that happen in London etc should be met with violence because just incase lol."I dont think any violence is fine....i honestly think you are seriously missing the point on all this...it was an illegal vote....our country would and have acted the very same way as the Spanish government have....and they would do it again.....but getting back to the OP's original post...the EU have condemn it | |||

" Unfortunately in democracy sometimes people vote for things you disagree with. It doesn't mean looking for reasons to stop the vote is acceptable. Would you describe the US civil war as a suppression of independence then? I don't care about the US civil war. Nice diversion though. This is Europe now. You, the EU and Madrid don't like the potential outcome. Therefore a blind eye to the stomping of people hoping for democracy is ok? Strange set of morals you have. Where have I turned a blind eye exactly? You were the one saying that I should feel shame for not wanting to see more victims of a civil war, remember? It's interesting that you think Catalonia should have independence, however refuse to answer the same question about the US civil war. Does it make you feel uncomfortable to support the independence of slave keeping states?both sides were racist and both sides kept slaves and didint give a fuck about them.If you think that the civil was was about people in power being nice and wanting to free slaves then you need to read real history not just the American version lol.don't know what relivence this has to people wanting to vote peacefully and getting there head kicked in for it anyway lol. Because the south wanted independence from the Union (the North) like Catalonia wants independence from Spain. Can you really not see the relevance? it was in the mid 18 hundreds and was under completely diferent circumstances and has absolutely no relevance to people wanting to vote and getting attacked by there goverment for doing so peacefully in 2017 .instead of diverting to the civil war nonsense why don't you just say what you think on the matter of this thread.why do you support what happend?
I think its relevant, you are happy to say its wrong for the Spanish police to enforce the law, but wont say the Union was wrong to fight a bloody civil war to stop the independence of the southern states. Both are state violence to stop independence.
again it was the mid 1800s and was a war fs lol. so beating the shit out of PEACEFULL people is right? Let's apply your logic to any sort of peacefull protest then because really that's what this was.i suppose you would be fine with what happend to Martin Luther king and his followers during his peacefull protests and apply that to any peacefull protest.all Spain has to do to enforce the law was ignore the result as it wasent legal anyway not beat the shit out what was a peacefull protest in the form of a vote.instead of diverting answers with irrelevent assumptions why can't you just answear a simple question that is relevant to the thread.why do you support violence as a response to peacefull voting or protests.
You complain about irrelevant assumptions, then start talking about MLK and telling me what I think about him!
MLK has nothing to do with independence.
Please can you quote me where I have supported violence?
MLK has everything to do with freedom and rebellion and how many laws did he break.?How many beatings did his people take trying to vote illegally.
You're cherry picking the ground you wish to fight your argument on.We all like to pull the argument off shaky ground.
It wont end well.
When did MLK's people try to illegally vote?
You need to read up.The African American constantly attempted to register to vote and returning WWII veterans were beaten when they lined up to vote.
The selma march was about voting rights.They marched for their right to vote and got beaten.
Like i said MLK was all about the right to vote.
Registering to vote is not illegal. You described it as such. Really why only 1 % black people registered to vote at the time.why when attempting to register they were beaten and if the made it to clerk were rarely approved.The march was even called the right to vote march...Its pretty obvious the greatest right was the right to vote to say otherwise is wilfully ignorant.
Maybe you unaware of the difference between the civil rights act of 64 in the voteing rights act of 65.The bill outlawed poll taxes, literacy tests, and other practices that had effectively prevented southern blacks from voting.
You said they voted illegally, I'm asking you, when did they vote illegally? Ah so you think blacks could vote legally in southern states if so why did they pass a law on 1965 called the voteing rights act...I see which side of history your on...
You have said yourself that black people were registered to vote. If they were registered to vote, then they were legally allowed to vote.
What side of history am I on Bob? I'm just calling you out on what YOU have said. You said that people voted illegally, I'm asking you when, you haven't yet answered. "I'm grateful people like you arent in power . | |||

"Yes you're correct in 1870 it was legal for African Americans to vote.Almost 95 years later they needed a new bill to make it really really legal to vote because for some strange reason they weren't voting. So just incase anyone was confused about what happened in 1870 and the definition of the word legal.They passed another bill.Because for some reason their was confusion over this word in the white community. | |||

A 90% yes vote from 2 out if 7 million voters is not really definitive.
...and no that doesn't justify beating people up. Far better to just inform people that the vote is unconstitutional and ask them to think about why their regional government is spending money on it rather than medicine or education | |||

"CLCC it's interesting to see your take on this topic. From your experience I'd thought you would side with the Catalonians. But your views on Brexit also tells me you believe in a united world. So independence is going backwards on your believe. What's your thought on identity? Do you think they want to identify themselves as a nation or country? What about oppressive regimes? Would you side with the oppressed to be independent? Since it is usually the oppressed who fight and end up in excile, tortured etc. Should they accept it?" Look at what has been achieved, violence, and now reports of businesses relocating to other parts of Spain. Tourism is sure to take a hit to. It's not just the people who want independence that are being hurt, but also people on the otherside of the debate who want Catalonia to remain part of Spain. People on both sides will lose jobs, houses, savings etc. Like I have said on either this thread or the other, I know and have worked with and supported people who have lost a lot more than this. Independence is great for the politicians, they get to feel like great heroes, but it does very little for everyone else. The idea that everyone will be happy in a newly independent state is a myth. Everyone is every country is unhappy with their government, that doesn't change from the smallest country to the biggest country. What would someone be able to do in an independent Catalonia that they cannot do today? Nothing, it will all be the same, and what will all the pain have been for? Nothing. Civilisation has gone from tribes, to city states, to nation states and is moving towards working together more and more. Look at what has been achieved through cooperation in Europe, borders virtually invisible, Human Rights enshrined, scientific cooperation reaching out to the stars, peace on a continent ravaged by war for centuries. So yes, I see turning back to city states would be a terrible idea. Progressive is achieved by working together, not by splitting ourselves into smaller and smaller groups. However, if one group doesn't want to work with others, and would like to spilt into a smaller and smaller group in the hope that that will make them happy, then they should do so legally. Laws are created by democratically elected leaders, constitutions written, and these have to be respected, in the same way that the new state would expect their laws, and their constitution to be respected. | |||

" Ah those fond memories of 2014 in Scotland where Asda , RBS , Morrsions etc were going to leave an independent Scotland Remember BBC getting their arses caught out lying about RBS moving HQ ? RBS had been talking about their “registered office” or the “brass plaque”, with no implications for jobs, which the chief executive had described as “a technical matter with no implications for jobs or investment”. It was also subsequently found that the overstated leak to the BBC in 2014 came from a Treasury official in London. Salmond said yesterday: “This morning the BBC broadcast a perfectly reasonable interview with RBS chief executive Ross McEwan, who could not have been clearer that he was talking about the bank’s domicile and its plaque, not its headquarters. Indeed, his comments that this would have no impact on jobs were reported. Now Sabadell trying to threating to move HQ thats odd because 'there was no vote' on Sunday according to Rajoy's enraged PeePee. Must be some mistake lol Oh i see a boycott of TSB coming soon never ever try and threaten people and hold them to ransom it wont go well. | |||

"Ask the 3 million plus that never took part in it! Because it was an illegal ballot with a illegitimate result, print to your own ballot paper(as many as you want), vote where you want as often as you want, municipalities reporting more votes than registered within them. The whole thing is a complete farce, less than 40% (dubious) voted for it, what a way to steal a country. But blood and soil, flags and stuff, keeps the nats happy.

" Not condemned the violence in Catalonia? 900 people injured by the police for trying to vote. For the same reason they did not condemn the British government when it ordered police to attack striking miners in 1984 or any other member states legal policing of its country. It is not a matter for the EU it is an internal matter for Spain to deal with." You are spot on! | |||

How many of the British population supported the RUC and B Specials when they were beating up the non violent civil rights protesters in NI in 68 and 69? How many British people supported the police when they attacked striking miners all over the country? There is no difference, and the result will be the same. I think there were quite a few. Maybe even some on this forum." Sure was, fsmily and me got caught up in it and i wasn't even a miner. | |||

Why do you keep trying to paint me as the violent one? I have told you multiple times about the human rights work that I have done, and how I don't want to see people hurt, maimed, killed, r@ped etc. Yet You are the one who says I should be ashamed of that view. What have you ever done to stop any of that from happening? Or are you just another keyboard warrior? | |||

You are talking crap, yet again, you are making assumptions that I support one and denounce another. In a normal society we expect the police to stop illegal activity. | |||

" In what way am I talking crap? Thats not a very constructibe debate style. So, you have said the Spanish were right to use police to stop the referendum, because it was illegal.

The miners strike was an illegal strike, the NUM didn't even follow their own rules on taking strike action. In life, there are right ways of doing things, changing things, and there are wrong ways. Anarchy is never far away when following the latter path. | |||

He implied earlier in this thread that others in the forum would support how police were used in that strike. I was personally involved politically at the time supporting the miners. I don't understand how someone can support police use for suppression of one political activity yet denounce it for another. i agree, anarchy isn't the way forward in any society. I don't classify referendums as anarchy though. | |||

"The main problem with the miner strike was in the beginning it was an illegal strike but people always have the option of demonstrating in their own time and standing at the gates asking people not to go in. But then then you get the hard-core coming in and demanding and menacing people into following the strike. Many people and families were intimidated and threatened with violence from striking minors to not go into work or suffer the consequences. A lot of people just could not afford not to work end of story! Then the Police actions were taken, then the union started bussing flying pickets to the mines to stop Lorries etc. going in. Yes it was a tragedy that mines had to close but ask yourself would you keep continually pouring money into a business if it’s losing money? I’m not on the side of the police or the minors but the violence did start at the gates and escalated from there. There was never going to be any winners on either side no matter what. "Correct and lots of nasty things were done by both sides. It was thrown into the discussion by someone trying to say why was it ok for the British government to do that, but the Spanish government to not send their police to catalonia. My view is that obviously we have to have law and order. But also there is a political side to both those events. Police were being used to maintain law and order. But they were also used under that guise to break the strike / thwart independence. If people start accepting the use of police to achieve an end political goal, we are on very thin ice. | |||
