Just to note that 1.5 MILLION people today demonstrated in Barcelona for Catalan independence. I have written before how I don’t think that either that or Scottish independence will happen any time soon, and continue to do so. But if they keep this up, I may have to revise my opinion.
1.5 million, is, I reckon, about one-fifth of the autonomous region’s population. I’m not sure that many would even fit on the streets of Edinburgh. And they, unlike the Scots, have not even a referendum planned as yet.
Isn't it hypocritical of Tony Benn to go on about how sad it would be if Scotland split from the rest of the UK yet seems to have no problem in supporting a united Ireland against the clear wishes of the vast majority of people in Northern Ireland?
