| The fact that Scotland unanimously rejected the UKIP project should be a shot across your bows. I'm not a UKIP supporter,but I'd have to acknowledge that Scotland didn't unanimously reject them,they actually gained 1 of the 6 seats available. This was much to the SNP's dismay as they can no longer ... |

When I hear songs that move me,I always make a point of finding out who wrote them. When you discover that many of the best songs were written by the same people,like Pete Seeger,you realise how influential they've been.
