13. Britain and European union.

In the words of Winston Churchill and in reference to Stanley Baldwin who was Prime Minister at the time (exporting Rolls Royce aero engines to Germany) prior to the outbreak of World War II he spoke the following words:

“Whose in charge of the clattering train? The axle’s creak and the couplings strain; the pace is hot and the points are near and sleep has deadened the driver’s ear and the signals flash through the night in vain for death is in charge of the clattering train”

The Take-Over of Britain

On 1st January 1973, Conservative British Prime Minister Edward Heath took Britain into the European Common Market. Heath reassured Parliament and the British people at the time that British sovereignty would not be affected and that we were just joining a trading partnership. His 1971 government White Paper stated the following:

“There is no question of Britain losing essential national sovereignty… The British safeguards of habeus corpus and trial by jury will remain intact. So will the principle that a man is innocent until he has been proved guilty.”

Subsequent papers came to light, which unequivocally show that Edward Heath recognised that he had known all along that Britain was signing up to a federal Europe.

In a 1975 public referendum, reassured by their politicians and a politically biased media that all was well, the British voted 67% to 33% to remain inside the Common Market. Later, it emerged that many sections of the British media were involved with promoting only favourable stories about the common Market. Few opposing views were given an airing.

The post-war move towards European integration was to strengthen a devastated Europe as rapidly as possible and prevent any Soviet incursion.

The first form of collective integration among nations in Europe occurred in March 1951 with the setting up of the European Coal and Steel Community, which established a single market for steel, iron, coke and coal among the six participating nations: France, Germany, Luxembourg, Italy, Holland and Belgium.

This union was later expanded by the Treaty of Rome into the European Economic Community, which set up a ‘Common Market’. This treaty’s subtitle has always been ‘the ever closer union of the peoples of Europe’. Politicians have always understood this to mean the destruction of their nations’ sovereignty and the eventual formation of a United States of Europe. Even their populations are clear on this issue.

British politicians, both Labour and Conservative, have not been so forthcoming. They have consistently misled the British people by repeatedly claiming that our involvement was trade-based only, and would never lead to the destruction of Britain as a sovereign nation.

Today, the UK’s three leading political parties are all in support of dismantling Great Britain. At no general elections in the past 25 years have the British people ever been given a clear choice on Britain’s European membership, with all the options, including withdrawing from the EU altogether.

Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Greenland are not members of the EU and are doing very well on their own today.

Later amendments to the Treaty of Rome gradually stepped up the transfer of power and control of Britain from Westminster to Brussels. These further treaty amendments were:

• The Single European Act -1986

• The Treaty on European Union (‘Maastricht’) – 1992

• The Amsterdam (Consolidated) Treaty – 1997

• The Treaty of Nice – 2000

• The Treaty of Lisbon (Reform Act) – 2008

Through these further treaties, the original Common Market has gradually been changed into the European Union of today. The British people have never given their consent, nor have properly understood the implications of the European Union.

Today, Britain has been part of the European Union and its forerunner structures for a little over 30 years, yet there are few realistic benefits we have enjoyed for the massive expense and damage our membership has cost us.

The burdensome value-added tax was set up in Britain in anticipation for our forthcoming membership to the Common Market. Most don’t know that VAT is an EU levy and not a national tax.

14. Primary Education in Modem Britain. A primary school is an institution in which children receive the first stage of compulsory education known as primary or elementary education. Primary school is the preferred term in the United Kingdom and many Commonwealth Nations, and in most publications of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).^[2] In some countries, and especially in North America, the term elementary schoolis preferred. Children generally attend primary school from around the age of four or five until the age of eleven or twelve. In some places, primary schooling has historically further been divided between lower primary schools (LP schools) and Higher primary schools (HP schools) In the UK schools providing primary education in the state sector are known as primary schools. They generally cater for children aged from four to eleven (Reception to Year Six; in Scotland Primary One to Primary Seven).

In areas that adopted a three-tier system, the term primary school is often used as an alternative to First School, taking in ages up to 9 or 10 years old, although for education planning purposes, the term "primary education" in these areas will still cover the age groups as in a two-tier system.^{[citation needed]}

In the private sector, fee-paying schools which provide primary education are known as preparatory schools, and they often cater for children up to the age of thirteen. As their name suggests, preparatory schools are designed to prepare pupils for entrance examinations for fee-paying independent schools

15. Human Rights in Britain.

Human rights in the United Kingdom are set out in common law, with its strongest roots being in the English Bill of Rights 1689, as well as theEuropean legislation.Right to life

Main article: Right to life

Protection of the right to life is primarily ensured by the criminal law (the crimes of murder and manslaughter). Some protection is also offered by the civil law where, for example, the Fatal Accidents Act 1976 allows relatives of people killed by the wrongdoing of others to recover damages. Capital punishment had by 1998 been abolished in respect of all offences.

The law also attaches importance to the preservation of life: aiding and abetting a suicide is a criminal offence (see the Suicide Act 1961) and euthanasia is unlawful (see the Bland case). Furthermore, there is a duty upon medical professionals to keep patients alive unless to do so would be contrary to the patient's best interests based on professional medical opinion (the Bolam Test), taking into account his or her quality of life in the event that treatment is continued.

Where an asylum-seeker claims the existence of a threat to his or her life in the event of deportation, this threat must be balanced against evidence of the risk the person poses to national security were he or she to remain in the UK. Such persons may also be able to rely on the principle of the "common law of humanity" which obliges the state "to afford them relief and to save them from starving" (see R v Inhabitants of Eastbourne (1803) 4 East 103).
