Really curious as to what will happen here. With the EU growing I had expected more and more country's to get together but looking at Scotland as well that does not necessarily seem to be the case

Scotland isn't going anywhere.

The Tories are already making thier bids to buy their "loyalty" and the Scots pretty much demonstrated they don't have to balls to go it alone in the last referendum.

QUICK it seems SPAIN will need some of them DIEBOLD vote machines delivered quickly!

Madrid can decry it all they want, but it's still happening. Catalonia has been setting up parallel government institutions and rules for the past year in anticipation of this.

At least the people of CATALONIA understand how fractional reserve bankster work.
