Five months ago I left the PDP and I told the world why I chose to do so. I also said that the party had hit the rocks and that it was a sinking ship. Few believed me at the time but today even the most chronic of doubting Thomas’ have changed their minds. The […]

Today a great march and protest is taking place in the Catallan region of the nation of Spain. According to the polls 52 per cent of the people from that region wish to break off from Spain and to establish a new European sovereign state.
