10/12/2012 - 16/12/2012 - Merry Christmas.

So then, this is most likely going to be my last post of the year as I am always running behind and may not get on here until 2013.

                My current situation is that I’m finishing my A Levels at school and now being made for the second time to compulsory apply to University on the off chance that I get it. I decided to apply to do Politics obviously. I originally thought that it would be impossible for me to get into university with just ‘D’ Grades which are a total achievement in itself with the school I go to. I found it quite surprising on how little UCAS points you can get into university with. Even on that point I still don’t want to go even though my father is now pushing me.

                On another high point, I may be getting my part time job back at the Beauticians as businesses has picked up and that she misses me, nice to know from your boss.

                I’m hoping anyway that everyone who reads this has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and that you will still read this next year and hopefully follow my twitter feed @wannabepolitics.

03/12/2012 - 09/12/2012 - Guns

I’m sorry to put a downer on the festive season but I’d like you to give a thought to those families whom will be having Christmas day without their sons/daughters/mothers. I am sadly referring to the Sandy Hook school shooting massacre in Newtown, Connecticut. This was where 20 primary school aged children and 6 adults were killed trying to protect them.

                The gunman took the gun from his mother whom he shot before leaving for the school and then shot himself when police were after him.

                Being British I could not imagine being in a place where guns are completely legal and that anyone can go and buy one, especially the fact that gun sales rose after this shooting, where is the logic in that?

                In regards of the politics in America I am aware it is written in the constitution and that it would be very difficult to amend but can politicians not see, especially Republicans that there is something wrong when something like this happens often.  I think Obama should put his foot down and introduce something, even if it is just to make it harder to get a gun in first place. It’s just such a shame.

‘It’s just too little too late.’

26/11/2012 - 02/12/2012 - Best Parts of 2012

So, a quick look back on 2012, my top stories:

                The Queen’s Jubilee and Olympic & Paralympic games, the notion that bought the British public together, which really wasn’t expected in this 21^st Century. London has been promoted like nothing else with the Royal family, Lord Coe and not forgetting the legend that is Boris Johnson.

Sticking on the Royal theme, Prince William and his wife Kate are expecting a child! Congratulations! It was released early due to the fact she was admitted to hospital with severe morning sickness. I believe the child is due in June of next year and will be our King or Queen in years to come, and I think it is nice that they are spending Christmas with her family rather than his, you have to love them.

With unforgettable moments who can forget the brilliant Gangnam Style that bought PSY a whole load of new fans and on track to reach a Billion views on YouTube by next week, he reached No1 in over 34 countries.

Last but not least the re-election of Democrat President Barack Obama, the closest presidency race that even had me on the edge of my seat and I’m British!

‘Happy New Year!’

19/11/2012 - 25/11/2012 - BBC

My next few entries will be a reflection on the year, this entry will be about the BBC or British Broadcasting Corporation, the most popular television channel in Britain with worldwide services too.

                Just to establish, I am not against the BBC in any way just outlining a few issues they have had over the year, I am actually an avid watcher.

                The first problem that comes across in people’s minds is the Jimmy Saville Scandal and Operation Yewtree. Over 40 years before 100’s of people came forward stating that as a child they were abused in some form or another by Jimmy Saville and other big names at the time such as Radio DJ’s and pop stars. The BBC pleaded ignorance to knowing anything about what was going on within their buildings but it was found he was known about in the 70’s but no action was taken.

                The second problem that hit is the Newsnight episodes, the fact that they did not show a episode filmed on the abuse of Scandal but showed another episode claiming that a innocent member of the House of Lords was a paedophile. This resulted in the resignation of the head of BBC.
