both Great Britain and the U.S. are involved in the Middle East and we both primarily speak English. however, Britain has a Parliamentary monarchy while we have a democracy, also Great Britain is much older than the U.S.
current events:
there is a big debate in the UK whether or not to provide large scale aid to India. the british Conservative Party that the support was 'unjustifiable' because of india large spending on defence and space programs. the argument seems to be that india is perfectly capable of handleign itself.
i think that while india does seem to be doing well for itself, there are still many poor areas of the country that could use the UK's aid and it seems selfish of them not to help.
The British government is expected to announce full marriage equality for gays and lesbians under reforms to marriage laws expected to be announced later this week by the liberal democrat equality minister, Lynne Featherstone. The reported move will end the final major legal discrimination against gays and lesbians in Britain.
i personaly have nothing against homosexuals and i feel there should have the same rights as everyone else. it is good to hear that britain is moving forward in the way people are treated, like human beings. im sure we won't follow thir example any time soon, our government like to bicker over pointless crap way too much.
