Crime and justice


I have chosen victims and witnesses of crime area.
 Particularly in if you witness a crime field.
The witness is an important evidence and key to tackle with any crime. For that reason it is crucial to offer the best protection and support to the people who saw crime to encourage them to talk and help to find the truth without thinking about any threat that may happen against them.
this specific area i have found many things make witnesses go to court confidentially and feeling in save. For example, all the personal details for witnesses will be private, like nobody can know your address. Moreover the witnesses will be protected from threats and harassment. The court can make an order to stop anyone coming near from witnesses,and if the threats do not obey that order they will be sent to prison.



Union Jack
Union Jack

There is a question says why the Welsh flag is not included in the Union Jack?
First of all let us define the Union Jack.  Union Jack or Union flag is the national flag of the United Kingdom. It was created by allied three flags of England ; Scotland and Northern Ireland that because all of these countries were Kingdoms.
Since Wales was not Kingdom its flag could not be on  Union Jack.

The Monarchy


In Britain, there are people believe that it should be keep The British Monarchy, because they consider them as a symbol of their country. On the other hand there are others do not.
In my opinion it does not necessary to keep The Monarchy. Honestly before i thought The Queen has a power to control the country, but the fact that has been discovered is The Queen does not have any power that will be consider. For that reason it is not important to keep The Monarchy. Also i can not see any benefits from having a royal family in UK, because the system in UK is controlled by the government, which is represented by PM and MPs.

Remember Remember The 5th of November

British people celebrate on 5th of November every year by Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Night . In this day the people remember the fact story that happened on November 5th 1605 about a group of men were trying to kill King James I.One of members of the group was  called Fawkes, who was captured by soldiers of King after failed the plot. Fawkes provided all names of  the plotters to the soldiers. Finally some of them shot dead and others hanged.
Therefore, nowadays the people make a model of Guy Fawkes
worn clothes from Fawkes time and put it on the top of a big bonfire. Also they are enjoying by watching fireworks.

UK opinion of the EU


There is an article on Europe in The UK website has title "Public's satisfaction with EU membership highest in a decade" published on 30 June 2006 provides some figures and polls show that many British people do not know a lot about European Union (EU) and some of them blame the government for did not present information explain the exact meaning of  European Union and the advantages that they can get from EU.
Also one of surveys talk about some advantages have been seen by some people for become the UK a member in EU such as increasing the available chances front of business men ,a good benefits for exporter and ccustomers in the same time and more chances for people especially in work or study fields.
taking all above in consideration i think the EU has more advantages than disadvantages and now the British people are getting use with EU.
Even the UK has a strong economy but still need support or help in some issues.
