British/UK Affairs
Welcome to British/UK Affairs where we discuss anything and everything about the United Kingdom.
Even in a multi-cultural, multi-faith nation, there is sometimes an island mentality about the British. This is often reflected in dealings with the rest of Europe/EU, the United States, Commonwealth and other countries.
Issues around the hills, seas and coasts, weather, sports, television/new media, the legal and Parliamentary systems, the health service, upheavals in the education system, the environment, the pound, social security, transport/media/military/police/local government angles are all covered.
Our articles bring you up-to-date, knowledgeable and researched writing, that informs and questions, entertains and challenges.
