Of course you are always right

And don't forget, at some point Madrid will be threatening the pre-retirement population of Catalan that they will forfeit any pension claims in the event of a Yes vote.

And as for Spain acting as guarantor, with the Euro surely the ECB is lender of last resort?

Standard pre-vote scare tactics, nothing to see here, move along......
