Trump's art of the deal always has been to ask for everything, judge the point at which the other party has made his final offer and then take what he can get, says Ramesh Thakur. That's what he's doing with Ukraine.

Firsthand Account of Day X from Scottish 15 yr old

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday March 21, 2003 12:55author by as do many other kids Report this post to the editors

The Following is a first hand account by 'G' a fifteen year old scottish school pupil of the protests in edbinburgh yesterday.

'Tony Blair can easily ignore a news reporter saying 'people all over the world
protested today' but he CAN NOT
ignore tens of thousands of children WALKING straight out of school past
pleading teachers without permission and marching to a protest. Anti-war
protesters in France is one thing but angry teenagers all over the UK clashing
with police, smashing through barricades and blocking off all the roads can not
be ignored. For us, it's victory or death!!!!. Tony Blair thinks that
teenagers are not interested in politics and accused Tommy Sheridan of
manipulating school children which are not interested in Politics to miss
school. Being 15 myself I would disagree with Tony Blair as it appears he has
never been 15 in his life (Or is most likely too old to remember).
The day of the protest at the mound in Edinburgh the police (unable to stop
children) decided to block everyone off and began getting violent. Two minutes
later we had smashed through their 30-man-strong barricade and my friend had to
punch one who had raised his police baton. Police were seen pulling girls hair
and knocking people to the ground, even picking fights with journalists. After
we all broke through their barricade (I was 5th to ge through). Everyone
charged at the opening in the Police line and the authorities were forced to
scatter. (Good work to all those friendly Protecter of the Law Police out
there, you really did a good job of losing a fight against 9 school children).

A little message from me Tony 'Your too Old, Lets go, Its over'. This isn't the
1800's anymore.

-'G' (and his pals were there in Edinburgh on wednesday and will be today too!)'
