Keep the mix salty and strong
Article Abstract:
The UK government is opposing a directive dealing with the rights of European Union citizens working in other countries, claiming that it infringes the free movement of labour. However, at the same time it is strongly against lifting barriers to immigration, stating that restrictions are necessary to prevent terrorists, drug smugglers and illegal immigrants entering the country. In fact, the UK does not really have a problem with immigrants on the scale which the government claims, and needs to encourage more immigrants in order to gain a fresh supply of energy and expertise.

Love thy neighbour and keep the noise down
Article Abstract:
The UK Labour party has recently appeared to reverse some of its views on issues relating to social morality. It has suggested, for example, that parents of disruptive children should be obliged to take lessons on parenting, and that tougher action should be taken against noisy neighbours. Most notably, it has spoken out against progressive teaching methods. Its policies are now part of a new trend towards mild conservatism which is developing in western countries, and go against liberation politics which were common in the 1960s.

Politicians: if you want us to listen, keep it Short
Article Abstract:
Politicians seem to be increasingly becoming a part of everyday life in the UK, and this means that ordinary people are paying less attention to what they say. Politicians place great emphasis on communication, but they are in fact failing in this respect. They tend to repeat the same simple phrases again and again, hoping that people will eventually understand their message, but what actually happens is that people become bored and cynical about what politicians have to say.
