The shit in Spain falls mainly in the fan

Fuck France.

You really have gone native.

The head of Catalonian police accepts his dismissal by Rajoy and steps down.

[celedhring]

The Director of the Catalan regional police - dismissed by Madrid's government after the intervention - has issued a letter where he accepts his firing. This is hugely good news.

EDIT: Iormlund'd

Canada officially refuses to recognize the Catalan Republic.

Well, time to pack it in now.

Funnily Spanish Congress passed CETA right after passing the intervention of Catalonia

No separatist, racist, or neo-Nazi movement is ever illegitimate, because popular support is irrelevant to legitimacy.  Groups gain legitimacy by declaring themselves legitimate.

Legitimacy is too rich a concept to be reduced to such unproductive caricatures.

[Josquius]

Maybe there's more legitimacy to our Wessex nationalist cause than I guessed. 

I'm afraid France will only use it as a bargaining chip for the Brexit negotiations.   

Fuck France.

The official statement was something like "Um. We are. Um. Awfully sorry. Um. Spain is a real good friend and um. We are really sorry we really don't mean to do this. But um. Under current circumstances. Um. So so sorry. Please don't hate us. We love you we do. Please don't hate us. But um. Yeah. No. We can't. Say you're um. Independent so. Um. Very sorry. We are terrible we know"?

Legitimacy is too important a concept to be reduced to such vague platitudes.

SPANISH CONQUISTADORS WARNED: Catalonia is free democratic socialist republic.

MARSHAL KIM JONG-UN'S WORDS ARE BACKED BY NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

[Eddie Teach]

For Catalonia to be legitimate, wouldn't Spain and France need to get hitched?

The company I consult with is noticing an uptick in debit/credit card declines in Catalonia.

Can you ellaborate? Like today or for the past weeks, or...? Is it a large uptick?

Sorry, not a huge uptick but statistically enough to make note of, and only for the American card issuers (financial institutions) we work with.

edit: uptick started Friday morning. Memo came out late afternoon but I'm seeing the increase starting mid--morning local time.

Raise the dragon standard at the Vale of the White Horse and seize any Danes you encounter

I can read in the papers about all that pollution they send over the channel to poison residents of London!

Thanks! interesting. I don't think there's many people - besides tourists - using American issued cards over here though.
