From the UK Telegraph, very pro-Brexit, anti-Scottish Independence, but this illustrates how *most* of the Anglo press and population have reacted to the thuggery in Spain:

Perhaps it's difficult for many Canadians, especially Anglo ones, to understand the gravity of what's just occurred in Spain.

Not to mention that Gibraltar won't be returned to Spain any time soon, since the the UK, with all her colonial baggage, has the sense to respect the will of the region, and will insist it be by vote.

Good luck to Madrid on that one...
