   Why are not reporting about pro-US Poroshenko bombing Donetsk during "ceasefire", CNN?

   What does the vote tell us?

   In Scotland the majority of the population regard themselves as being British with just around 1.6 million Scots living in Scotland. This is a re-definition of the concept of nationhood.

   In the 20th century and the centuries before that there is no way that any nation would relinquish its right to self determination.

   What does this mean? Are we now moving into an era of giant monopolies? Centralized power and wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer?

     All this tells us is that it's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes.

   When people have been United by a Kingdom,
   it's usually after they've been put to
   the sword. A name doth not a kinship make.

   Can we be honest for a minute? The Royal
   Bank of Scotland, is about as Scottish as
   hot damn crumpets and tea.

   After hearing the remonstrations, warnings
   and threats against anyone who dared vote
   For Scotland, made by everyone from English
   banks and corporations, to the English
   Parliament, to the president of the U.S.,
   for Christ's sake; if That was a damned
   referendum, I'd hate to hear what a hot
   damn U.K. Ultimatum sounded like.

   I know when I've been had, and I know the
   Scottish people, have been Had.
