Catalan looks sort of like La Chanson de Roland. No idea if it sounds like it, because I don't exactly know what the old Langue d'Oc sounds like... Probably does though.
See their response to the violence in Kiev 2014.What the fuck do people think the EU is going to say??
they will stick to the law and fall down on the side of those with the power
don't worry about the law, they're on the side of the big battalionsWhat the fuck do people think the EU is going to say??

roncevaux in navarre not Catalonia thoCatalan looks sort of like La Chanson de Roland. No idea if it sounds like it, because I don't exactly know what the old Langue d'Oc sounds like... Probably does though.
poului can answer all s.o.r. questionsNone of it happens in the lands now called Catalonia, but the language of the poem is to a large extent theirs.
The refusal of the EU to get involved in this is the point where the Remoaners who tied their remoaning into the idea of a 'progressive EU' should have a wee look at themselves.The EU is quite keen on taking a human rights perspective on things beyond its own borders. Though not actually *at* its own borders, obv. Even a wet liberal can use human rights discourse to say that the law isn't always the final word in what happens. They just don't want to do it in this case.
Yeh they've been pissed all overThe refusal of the EU to get involved in this is the point where the Remoaners who tied their remoaning into the idea of a 'progressive EU' should have a wee look at themselves.

Interestingly I was just talking to a leftie friend in another part of Spain who feels that, while the violent actions of the government are clearly shit, the whole situation was engineered by neo-liberal Catalan elites, so he's angry about both sides of it.

Statement on the events in Catalonia
Brussels, 2 October 2017
Under the Spanish Constitution, yesterday's vote in Catalonia was not legal.
For the European Commission, as President Juncker has reiterated repeatedly, this is an internal matter for Spain that has to be dealt with in line with the constitutional order of Spain.
We also reiterate the legal position held by this Commission as well as by its predecessors. If a referendum were to be organised in line with the Spanish Constitution it would mean that the territory leaving would find itself outside of the European Union.
Beyond the purely legal aspects of this matter, the Commission believes that these are times for unity and stability, not divisiveness and fragmentation.
We call on all relevant players to now move very swiftly from confrontation to dialogue. Violence can never be an instrument in politics. We trust the leadership of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to manage this difficult process in full respect of the Spanish Constitution and of the fundamental rights of citizens enshrined therein.

I see Sturgeon was quick off the mark to (rightfully) criticise the FO's statement as 'shamefully weak':
Not a word following the Eu one though.
Yeh not sure dragging down barricades likely to make you Catalan friendsLet's see what happens with this general strike. Looking at pics of the first barricades being built makes me want a tractor!
I am surprised but pleased to hear thisThis hasn't ended yet either.
The 10,000 police who were drafted in and coked up are still here, waiting for the go ahead to probably kill people. With the EU's light reaction I expect they feel justified for more violence this week.
I'm joining the general strike tomorrow.
