As is the CRS in France. You do not ask those people the time without receiving a sound beating. They are and always have been uniformed thugs.<br /><br />The question of Catalan independence has been badly handled by both sides, the Madrid government probably the worst offender. The Civil War still leaves raw memories.<br /><br />But this is part of a historical schismatic shift that began with the unlamented break up of the old totalitarian Soviet Union. If the biggest country in the world could break up, why not all the other fragile "unions"? The examples are everywhere, including Britain. And, potentially, the USA.<br /><br />People need to ask themselves the common sense question: Who benefits from all this mayhem and obsolescent tribalism?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
