Catalan leaders sentenced

[FlemishDuck]

The EU criticised for taking away domestic sovereignty and then criticised for not using that extra leverage to stop an anti-democratic action in one of its member countries.

It's almost as if the EU don't really care about domestic sovereignty beyond how it can serve their goals as a federated state or something. Weird.

The EU doesn't "take" domestic sovereignity, it receives it on a voluntary basis.

Sure, in the same way that people pay child support to their ex-wives on a voluntary basis

It's the project.....create a United States of Europe. Sundry independence movements get in the way of that.

I’m fully expecting my Bluemoon peers to banish me into exile and to get permo banned for this but this sort of stuff is more important than football.

It is real life that's for sure,we will get that spanish ref again who hates pep in the CL,we won't be winning it this year now

Fixed. The EU doesn’t take sovereignty at all.

The leaders of the Catalan independence movement have been sentenced to jail terms ranging from 9 to 13 years. Disgrace. Fascism lives on in Madrid.

It never really went away but just took a step back so as not to frighten the tourists.

Every season since Pep came we've had some vindictive Spanish ref who rewrites the LotG on the flight over! Some of them have just been absolutely disgraceful!

Disgraceful actions by Madrid. Will only increase the desire by separatist groups to gain independence.

Those Catalans who might have been on the fringe have now been recruited by the actions of Madrid.
