    1. Pro-Spanish unionists, now experts on British political and social history, have been busy all weekend explaining that the #Catalonia scenario is nothing like the #Scotland one. The positive take on this is that anti-Catalanism sees Scotland's independence as inevitable.

    Main arguments go as follows: 1. Britain doesn't have a written constitution. Spain had the foresight to write one that 'locks in' Catalonia. 2. Scotland used to be independent. Only nations that were independent before can ever be again.
