Scotland’s devolved parliament is having a referendum to let people decide whether they want to stay part of the UK, or become independent.
Crimea’s devolved parliament is having a referendum to let people decide whether they want to stay part of the Ukraine or join Russia.
Our government says the Scots’ vote is OK, but the Crimean vote is illegal. Why?
Russia has sent troops to Crimea because the Ukraine government has been overthrown by a mob. It is threatening more of the same. Russia doesn’t like the idea of a mob wanting to overthrow a corrupt government.
The West doesn’t like the idea of mobs in its own backyard, but approves of those who do their overthrowing in the Middle East or Ukraine. It says the mob in Kiev is actually a bunch of freedom fighters. The West is threatening sanctions and boycotts because sending troops is so last year.
And the BBC is running 37 days which shows how we went from balmy peace to world war in just over a month because the people in power kept threatening each other.
