The Month in Updates

This month has seen the resignation of a cabinet Minister, the death of a great mind and the death of a dictator. You may notice that at J.G.W. Politics we write updates on a regular basis and here are some of the most influential, shocking or important moments of October.

David Cameron - Revolt to Resignation?

As the Libyan rebels announce the liberation of their country, the Conservative backbenchers have discovered their own revolutionary spirit. So was the vote on an EU referendum just a hiccup in Cameron's premiership or is it the start of a slippery slope to a resignation?

Occupy Everywhere - Too Lazy to Care

A small group of activists who decided to set up camp in Wall St. and voice there concerns about the financial system in America has created a global phenomenon, with camps popping up all over America and recently in London outside St. Paul's cathedral. However, these are relatively small groups of people and many have voiced there amazement at how few people are protesting. So have we, as a country or even as a world lost the drive to protest or do we now believe it makes no difference. 

Data: 'Religion, Ethnicity and Immigration in the UK' Survey

This is the raw data of the survey I took about religion, ethnicity and immigration in the UK. If you scroll down you will be able to see the blog I wrote about my findings, 'Race, Religion and Ethnicity - Bombarded by Lies'.

SPECIAL: Race, Religion and Ethnicity - Bombarded by Lies

It can sometimes feel like Britain is threatened by the introduction of Islamic law and the whole of Eastern Europe is moving onto building sites across the UK. I asked a group of people a series of questions to try and grasp how people feel about religion and ethnicity in the UK and whether what we constantly get told about the state of affairs is true.

NHS Bill - For Better or For Worse?

Today the NHS bill will be voted on by the Lords, it comes among concerns being raised from health professionals and protesters from many areas of the public. The confusion lies in the intentions of the bill, the Conservatives say it will make a more efficient health service, where as opponents say it is another move towards the destruction of public owned healthcare. So who is telling the truth? 

Is World Peace Too Much To Ask?

Yesterday was the ten year anniversary for the American led invasion of Afgahnistan, America has also led forces in to Iraq and with more help from Britain and France, Libya. Last week I wrote a post about how the army cuts might lead to an end to Britian feeling the need to stick to America like glue every time they pick the next place they want to attack. This week I want to look at the idea of world peace, can the United Nations fulfill its prime goal or is it just pure idealism?

The Tories Dilemma

David Cameron gave his speech to the Conservative Party Conference on the day that the British growth forecast was cut, a general strike started in Greece and Tesco announced 'subdued' sales in the UK. This is all on top of the euro crisis and the fact we have not had growth in the economy for 9 months. Does all this not scream 'change your plan!' to Mr Cameron.

The Final Degradation of British Imperialism

The British Empire crumbled before our eyes in the late forties and early fifties but our imperialistic tendencies did not stop there. We continued to feel the need to export our beliefs and ideals of liberal democracies and more importantly free markets to the world but with the coming cuts in defense spending, is this the end to our need to send troops to foreign lands for personal gain?
