Referendum on 'self-rule' in eastern regions

The western powers, the media, Hague, Kerry, Merkel, and the rest, perpetuate the hypocrisy of their almost hysterical rhetoric with constant references to the "referendum" being illegal and having no credibility. Their support for Kiev, demonstrates how the "International Community" will go to any lengths, will conveniently ignore fact and will resort to distortion and black propaganda to advance their objective of making Ukraine, part of NATO. That remains and has always been the goal.
The fact remains that no matter how much the western powers, the media, the camp followers of the United States and United kingdom may try to convince the world otherwise, "The government in Kiev" is no more than a junta of dubious politicians and paramilitary opportunists who overthrew a democratically elected President in their drive to become even more integrated into the European Union and the American dominated NATO alliance. Whether president Viktor  Yanukovych was or was not the villain that the coup leaders used as a reason for their take over is neither here nor there. The fact is that he was democratically elected by the people of Ukraine and as such should only be removed through the ballot box.
Recent history has clearly shown how a coup leading to oppression and rigged "elections" will be supported and encouraged by the west, especially when the the new regime is prepared to follow the American lead. This is the case as amply proven in Egypt over the past two years. The circumstances in Ukraine follow a similar pattern.
The referendum in Eastern Ukraine may have not been all that could be desired from such a vote, but it cannot be disputed that the "result" indicates that a significant number of people in the eastern areas of the country regard  "The government in Kiev" as the result of an illegal coup and a body without   legitimate status.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

The writing on the wall

There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
