Train travel in Britain - poor planning led to the severe disruption last month

Many people in Britain would agree that train punctuality is not one of this country’s strong points. Perhaps this pertains to personal experiences; however, our trains continue to encounter ongoing delays that are caused by the simplest of problems - such as a signal failure or a light covering of snow, for example.

While there is little dispute that the recent severe winter weather of December 2010 was extraordinary both for its longevity and for the extent and the severity More

Should We Vote For The ‘Greek’ Fund

What the EU proposes is the creation of the fund that would help countries go through times of severe recession and financial instability (the so called ’Greek'fund because Greece was the first country from the EU that happened to be in that situation). This would be like a few camper vans full of money every year, travelling to a big tall building called European Bank, where all this money would be at the disposal at the countries from the Euro More

Raising The Budget

Currently, the main organisation within Europe and probably the second strongest in terms of politics and influence after the US, the European Union, is undertaking a financial approach that has been accepted in two ways by both countries and individuals. The Union is aiming to increase its budget with almost 6% and this would be milestone in its history - right after a recession, an organisation raises its budget with more than in times of steady economic development.

Is fascism possible today?

Fascism is a form of nationalism that puts the interests of the state above the interests of the individual. It believes in the centralisation of society under one leader (dictator), in the name of the progress of the nation. As a political ideology, it has probably achieved the highest level of notoriety amongst all other ideologies, because of its role in causing World War II. Nowadays the sole mentioning of the word ‘Fascism’ causes feelings of inconvenience, because of people’s More

Hair DNA for paternity test

One of the methods for conducting a DNA test for paternity is to do the DNA testing on hair. For this it is essential that the hair given as sample has the root still intact and follicles attached to it. The hair therefore needs to be pulled off direct from the scalp and for the test at least three to four such strands are essential.

The cost for conducting DNA on a hair is much lesser than any other form More

Is free universal healthcare the most practical system for everyone?

In the United Kingdom the National Health Service (NHS) provides free health care coverage to everyone, including those who are not UK citizens. Britain’s system has been emulated across the world and many other countries, such as France and Canada have built their health care systems based on the British NHS model.

Perhaps the best thing about free, universal health care is that ensures that no one, no matter what their condition or medical outlook, is entitled to receive whatever More

Britain will always reject full integration into Europe

Britain has always been set apart from continental Europe, primarily because of it geographical location as an island separated from the other European states. Indeed, it is an island that has not successfully been invaded since William the Conqueror seized control of England back in the eleventh century. The inability of foreign enemies to successfully invade Britain, combined with the country’s strength in defending itself throughout history has been ingrained into the longstanding belief of British exceptionalism and independence from More

The internal frictions within the Republican Party

The Republican Party of the United States is probably one of the most hypocritical political organisations in the western world. It claims to be a political party that is strongly associated with Christian ideology, yet it ignores many of the core aspects of Christianity itself.

Christianity preaches that people should help and care for those in need. This includes people who are less fortunate than the rest of it - those who are homeless or without medical care, for example. More

All change in the NHS

The Health Secretary Andrew Lansley, with the backing of the new coalition government, has been announcing big plans for the NHS and those working locum jobs for doctors. It’s important to get to the bottom of the recent history of the NHS, and motivation and nature of this shake up, in order to assess its possible outcomes.
The ideas behind the changes aren’t brand new ones: the last Conservative government tried to introduce something similar, called GP fundholding, but More

Fraud Paternity Cases

There is, today, an ever increasing number of incredulous fathers who receive the surprise realisation that the biological child they thought, and were sure, carried their genetic symbol did in fact carry someone else’s. The trauma that follows such a revelation is not only limited to the emotional feeling of bonding that the father had for the child, it even extends to the feeling of stupidity that one has been taken for a ride over providing child support for a More
