Well what we have here is people who will remind us what a set of barstewards we were in past centuries,Nelson should be removed from his column.......others removed too.



A prime minister should stand up and make a fulsome apology for our past wrongs,we should be made to feel ashamed for the actions of our forbears and indeed our priveleged existence now really hang our heads in shame.



Stuff like this ........not a dickie bird,still I expect someone will be along In a couple of hundred years to set it right.

Wife of Jailed Catalan Leader Hopeful of Acquittal Verdict

BARCELONA — The wife of jailed Catalan separatist leader Raul Romeva says she is hopeful he will be acquitted in the trial over the Spanish region's banned independence bid, and called for an amnesty if the verdict goes against him.



Spain's Supreme Court is expected to announce its verdict on Monday on the role of 12 separatist leaders in Catalonia's referendum and short-lived independence declaration in October 2017, which triggered Spain's biggest political crisis in decades.



Prosecutors have asked for a 16-year prison sentence for Romeva, and seven to 25 years for the others.
