Pressure growing....
....on the Spanish govt seemingly from all directions at the moment.
The Catalans are getting ever more serious about total independence, no doubt spurred on by events in the UK.

Personally I think it's just a matter of time.
Rajoy maybe a modern day version of Franco but if push came to shove I don't imagine for one minute he'd dare send in the military.
Meanwhile Student protests have spread right across the country with some very unpleasant scenes on tonight's main news channel.
On top of that they still have a major problem in N.Africa and trying to use Gib to divert attention doesn't seem to be working so well now.
The main problem causing increasing unrest is of course the Crisis and despite a few faint glimmers of light the unemployment situation and debt burden issues are still as grave as ever.
