“Kickstriker is a fundraising platform for activists, engineers and others working to resolve global conflicts. We believe that crowdfunding holds the potential to address many conflicts around the globe by allowing those who care to directly support potential solutions. These solutions might take the form of military action, supplying equipment and arms to those in need or the development of new military technologies with immediate applications in the field. Rather than waiting for national governments, coalitions and international bodies like the UN, NATO, EU and AU to decide to address a conflict—a process that can take years of deliberation—Kickstriker users are funding solutions that can be on the ground in weeks.”

“François told me once that there were two kinds of people in politics; those who do things, and those who try to stop people from doing things. Both can get into power, but the doers will always have the advantage. François Hollande is a doer.”

“

The people who live in Scotland are the best people to make decisions about Scotland’s future. They gave the Scottish Government an overwhelming majority in May 2011 because of a record of good government, a clear vision of the future and the promise of a referendum on independence.

The referendum will be held in autumn 2014 in the same way as any Scottish election, to the same standards and with the same guarantee of fairness. We will decide our future in a vote which is beyond challenge or doubt.
