21/12/12: The date to party like it's the end of the world

But remember the bar bill just in case...

The ancient Mayans predicted that the world will come to an abrupt end tomorrow, 21 December 2012. But rather than get down in the dumps about the rumoured Doomsday, revellers are being offered the chance to celebrate their final hours in style.

Savvy entrepreneurs are cashing in on the interest surrounding the Mayan apocalypse by putting on a number of themed events across London.

Revellers can now see in the end of the world by dining in the hull of a boat, indulging in their wildest fantasies or hearing annihilation theories being panned in a one-off comedy gig.

The Friday 21 December doomsday claim has been fuelled by internet speculation, but widely questioned by academics and dismissed by everyone from Nasa and the US Government to the Vatican. (The Independent)

El Gobierno recurrirá a la vía penal si Mas insiste en su consulta soberanista

El Gobierno tiene decidido que recurrirá ante el TC si finalmente esta consulta soberanista se convoca y ante la previsible anulación de la misma por parte del TC, confían en que el presidente de la Generalitat acate la sentencia.

Si esto no fuera así y no asumiera la decisión del máximo tribunal español, al Gobierno no le quedaría otra opción que recurrir a la vía penal para pedir la inhabilitación del presidente de la Generalitat.

El recurso a la vía penal, según explican fuentes del Ejecutivo, no sería para encarcelar a Artur Mas, sino para inhabilitarle para ejercer el cargo, ya que un presidente de una comunidad no puede saltarse ni la ley, ni las sentencias de los tribunales.

Y si la insumisión siguiera, el siguiente paso tendría que ser, según apunta un miembro del Gobierno, la aplicación del artículo 155 de la Constitución, que prevé que el Ejecutivo ejercite la competencia que una comunidad no lleva a cabo de manera conveniente y que en este caso, sería para tomar la decisión de sustituir al presidente catalán.
