No surprise there.
Makes one wonder whether it was the plan all along. Impoverish the people then blame Europe for it in order to break free of the EU allowing further impoverishment of the people. For fun and profit.

I don't think it is justified to assume god-like powers from the leaders of the global economy, whoever they are or supposed to be.

If you take a historical age/event, and read up on it in detail, you'll see that what seems like a deliberate plan pushed through by a few key actors was indeed the tangled mess of local interests semi-randomly clashing against each other in chaos.

Yeah, the problem with this, and all conspiracy theories, is it requires a degree of foresight, intelligence, planning and implementation that is not possible.

Manuel Valls set to announce he's running for mayor of Barcelona this tuesday. It was the world's (well, I guess just Barcelona's) worst kept secret, but he's taken a while to confirm.

I hope he has better luck than during his last years in French politics.

Is he pro- or anti- Catalan independence?

Yeah, he wants to build a large unionist platform with the support of Ciudadanos (the party of the hotty I often lust about).

Right now polling is a close race between separatists, unionists, and uncommitteds (which were born with a heart full of neutrality).

Apparently a Halloween costume of the sexy variety for "The Handmaid's Tale" has been produced. It did not go well.

Hell no.  Americans don't do that.  Only person that wants it is Drumpf.
