IAN LLORENS has some advice for Catalan politicians, currently in the middle of a sometimes bitter debate on the devolution of powers from Madrid's central government. Cleverly stated, from a nationalist point of view but not in an divisive way. Alas, not very usual.

UPDATE. OK, that is not a way to do things; using schooldchildren as language police, to report on a teacher who dares to teach in Spanish. Allow me to remind you that Spanish is a co-official language besides Catalan.
