Britain Votes To Leave The EU


David Cameron
 
Britain has voted to leave the EU. The British people have spoken. The will of the people must be honored. Britain belongs to the British people and they get to decide what they do with it (much like in any other sovereign nation). British Prime Minister, David Cameron, has resigned after backing the failed move to remain in the EU. Cameron stated a new Prime Minister will be selected in October 2016. People online have commented that U.S. President Barack Obama’s trip to Britain a few months ago regarding remaining in the EU, did the movement more harm than good. Britons do not want to be told what to do by Obama or any other leader they did not elect.

Cameron has done good things for Britain, via austerity and proper tax collection, which helped to guide the nation out of the 2008 financial crisis that emanated from Wall Street. Financial cuts were needed and it helped to increase Britain’s fortunes. The pound has lost some of its value due to the vote to leave prevailing, but is still holding. Markets all over the world have lost some of their value as well, in what is a correction to reflect the current vote.

There is no need to panic. Britain will be just fine. The Chinese yuan is relatively low and China is still a prosperous, industrious, wealthy nation. The key to flourishing in the world is producing goods and services people want and need. Britain has many great products and services people want and need. Britain has innovative companies in the area of finances, automotive, food and clothing, among others. The Premier League is also the biggest tourist attraction in Britain bringing in 5 billion pounds annually from visitors.

Britain is one of the oldest countries in the world. It is a very nice place to live. It is peaceful and civil. It is a great country that has survived a lot throughout history. Brexit is just a hiccup. That’s not to insult the EU, as there are many great countries in it as well. I love and admire nations such as France and Spain, among others.


Some believe Britain’s vote to leave the EU was based on discontent regarding immigration levels, which have dramatically surged. With the freedom to move among the EU nations, many Britons complained that the “traffic is moving in one direction” into Britain, creating new costs the British taxpayers had to underwrite. Many members of the British public feared the country would not be able to handle the added long-term financial costs.

Britain has free healthcare via the NHS and cash benefits to those who need it. People were moving into Britain from other parts of the EU and getting free healthcare, financial benefits and council housing. No nation in the EU can afford to indefinitely accommodate the level of traffic Britain received, plus pay 12 billion pounds per year into the Union as well. One nation could not sustain that indefinitely.

No country is perfect. However, I will state this, I know Britain well and I have not found it to be a racist or xenophobic country. There are many interracial marriages in Britain. There are also many marriages in Britain among local Britons and foreigners. On the whole, Brits are very open minded people. They do try to fight racism and xenophobia within the scope of the law, using legislation and court imposed penalties. Therefore, the vote was about a financial concern of many in Britain. Based on comments I have read in the lead up to the vote, I think the biggest gripe of the British people is the sum of money the country has been paying to the EU.

At the end of the day, the British people have the right to determine the future they want for their nation. That’s how democracy works. It is nice to see that though many in the British government wanted to remain in the EU, the vote wasn’t rigged.

The British people need to work together for a great future for Britain. Even if the vote did not go how you wanted it to, you still have a great country worth treasuring and preserving. Therefore, stand together and make things work. Invest in your country and the nation’s future.

200,000 New Homes Being Built In London In Response To Population Boom Needs To Go To Britons Who Really Need It


London
 
Last year, the local government in London, England announced 200,000 new homes will be built, in an effort to ease the massive requests for housing in the city of 10,000,000 people. It's not that London does not have homes, as there are millions of well built properties in the city. However, due to mass immigration over the past several years from the Middle East, Africa and Britain joining the EU (huge influx from Europe) there simply aren't enough homes in London. There's nothing wrong with immigration, as long as it is accompanied by assimilation. 

Many need to realize that everyone can't afford London, as real estate prices have soared over the past decade due to the sizeable increase in immigration and should move to the lovely home counties in England, which is not far from the capital. I've been to Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey and Oxfordshire, which all look great. 

The government's new pledge to build 200,000 new homes, a promise that is already underway, needs to have sale guidelines. Many foreign investors have been buying up homes in London, England, due to their value. However, locals who have lived in London, England for many years, are citizens who are not rich, should get first option on buying the affordable new homes. 

If the houses end up being bought up by big investors, often in cash sales, they will be flipped for big prices, in events that will not remedy the housing shortage. The homes and any government subsidies granted towards purchase, should be income restricted to ensure hardworking Britons, who aren't wealthy local or foreign investors, get the properties. It would be beneficial to Britons if the affordable housing initiative helps the working class become homeowners, which is a great thing.

Amir Khan Lands Canelo Alvarez Fight After Asking For 80% Of The Purse To Take On Kell Brook Destroys The Deal



Amir Khan and Canelo Alvarez

World welterweight champion, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, 25, has agreed to fight challenger, Amir Khan, 29, in a boxing bout scheduled for May 7, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The catch weight is 155 pounds. Canelo is an elite fighter, who is very tricky in the ring (not in a bad way). He has used this cunning to defeat many. Canelo's record stands at 48-1. The only person who has beaten Canelo is Floyd Mayweather and on points.

Canelo is a tough competitor. In light of these facts, boxing professionals and many on social networking have collectively expressed their concern regarding Khan taking such a massive step up from lightweight to welterweight, against a boxer who has fought as a welterweight, light middleweight and middleweight. Khan's record is 34-3, which is good. However, he is sometimes teased online for having a "glass chin" due to notable knockouts. His last few fights have gone in his favor.  


Kell Brook

Many, including Mayweather, have been encouraging Khan to fight fellow Briton, Kell Brook, who is the IBF champion. However, Khan wanted a 80-20 split, despite the fact Brook is the champion. Khan's demand was understandably rejected and destroyed negotiations. Brook stated to Boxing News Online, "It seemed closer than ever. The lawyers were involved this time and it's the most communication we've had. But I don't know what he was playing at, they are forgetting that I'm the champion and he'd be a voluntary challenger. Don't try to price yourself out of the fight by demanding an 80-20 split because that's not going to happen."

Losing to Canelo would be less damaging than losing to Brook. Canelo has reached an elite level of boxing, making his fight the bigger international draw. Brook is less famous, but still successful and known in his own right. Losing to Brook would damage Khan's prospects far more than losing to Canelo, who is further along in his career and development than both Khan and Brook. Canelo has far more fights and wins.

Brook needs to chase big fights of his own and not wait around for Khan to sign the contract to fight him. It would be a great fight and one British fans would appreciate on home soil. However, Khan needs to raise his profile and continue to develop his skill. In all the time Khan has repeatedly refused to fight him Brook continued to progress. Take a page out of Khan's book and go after the big dogs as well. As stated in the April 6, 2015 Judiciary Report article Amir Khan Dodging Boxers Kell Brook And Timothy Bradley, "Brook needs to focus on getting an audience with Mayweather and or Pacquiao and not wait around for Khan. Try to get a fight with the legends.

16-Year-Old Muslim Girl In London Who Tried To Join ISIS Laughs Over Terrorists Killing 30 Britons In Tunisia Attack


Jihadi Bride Mocks The Dead 
 

Amira Abase

16-year-old Muslim girl and London, England resident, Amira Abase, tried to join the terrorist group ISIS in Syria. Abase traveled to Syria. Abase had begun publicly voicing her support for Syria, which has become a hotbed of terrorism at odds with the British and U.S. governments. Abase was among three Muslim girls in Britain, who chose potential husbands from a list of ISIS terrorists online and went to Syria to wed them and join the murderous terrorist group. ISIS has barbarically murdered innocent westerners via methods such as beheadings.

An undercover reporter recently texted Abase in London about the recent terrorist attack in Tunisia that left 30 British tourists dead and she inexcusably laughed at their murders responding “LOL” which is internet slang for “laughing out loud.” Her mind has been damaged by the brainwashing she subjected herself to in consorting with people involved in terrorist activities. Individuals like her are very misguided and in over their heads.

Abase's father, Abase Hussen, admitted he took her to a protest march when she was 13-years of age and it sent his child on a dangerous path with she too becoming a Muslim extremist supporting jihadi terrorism. These protest marches have become a slippery slope into terrorism for Muslims in Britain, as they are exposed to strong rhetoric and brainwashing via hate preachers and other individuals recruiting for terrorist organizations.


Amira Abase's dad took her to a Muslim extremist protest march when she was 13-years-old and it sowed the seeds of hate for Britain, America and all things Western

Members of western governments also attend these protests undercover, as they know some are terrorists and terrorists in the making. Undercover agents make secret recordings, discreetly take video and photographs and notate names of attendees for investigation and surveillance (and understandably so, as the government needs to preserve the lives of its citizens protecting them from potential terrorist attacks). Anyone who goes to or promotes these types of protests, just know, the government is watching you and you are bringing trouble on yourselves. 

It is alarming to watch what is transpiring regarding the terrorist recruitment drive of westerners. People are being brainwashed by terrorist groups via online recruitment materials, mosques and word of mouth from their Muslim friends, to support and or join the terrorism that is transpiring in Syria and other parts of the Middle East.

Little do these individuals know their names have been recorded and they are being watched, wiretapped and hacked by western governments as potential terrorists in the making. It creates a black mark over their lives. Their names have been added to terrorist watch lists at numerous airports and some nations will deny them entry.


Amira Abase and two of her fellow misguided friends, who are also underage, traveling from Britain to Syria to join ISIS and become "jihadi brides"

It will create problems for them in progressing in society and gaining proper employment. They will not be allowed to attain certain jobs in society. As mentioned above, it also leads to the loss of their privacy and understandably so, as they are warring against the very nation(s) that birthed/housed them, as they are engaging in behavior that could kill fellow citizens in acts of terrorism.

In short, stay away from terrorism and support such activities. You are throwing your future away dabbling in such things and are kidding yourself if you think the government(s) will tolerate it and you will prevail in fighting against them. They don’t joke around when it comes to terrorism.

It is very unwise to get involved with such groups and so-called causes, as no western government will put up with it and rightly so, as it is a danger to the safety, peace and prosperity of each respective nation. Do yourself a favor and leave terrorism alone. It is a dead end. You will end up dead or in prison. Focus on having a healthy, hate-free, violence-free, productive life.

London schoolgirl who fled to Syria to join IS mocks victims of Tunisia massacre

Published: 05 July 2015 Updated: 10:30, 05 July 2015 - A London schoolgirl who fled to Syria to join terror group Islamic State has mocked the victims of the Tunisia massacre. Amira Abase, 16, unwittingly told an undercover reporter at the Mail on Sunday that she was "laughing out loud" when asked about her reaction to the shootings, which saw 30 Britons killed.

In an online conversation with the reporter, the former Bethnal Green Academy pupil appeared to know little about the recent attack by gunman Seifeddine Rezgui in Sousse. But when she was told that Muslim leaders were condemning the attacks, she simply replied "LOL" - text speak for "laughing out loud". Reporter Abul Taher had contacted Ms Abase under the pretence that he was a fellow British Muslim teenager planning to run away and join Islamic State.

Ms Abase fled London in February along with friends Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, to become so-called "jihadi brides". Yesterday video emerged of three girls carrying automatic rifles around Raqqa, Syria - an Isis stronghold, but there were conflicting reports as to whether the trio were the former Bethnal Green Academy pupils. Two of the girls have since married IS militants after choosing from a catalogue of suitors, according to reports.

Members of the girls' families, who appeared before a committee of MPs in March, claimed they were normal teenagers who watched shows including Keeping Up With The Kardashians...


Poll: More Britons Fear Islam NOW Than They Did Immediately After 9/11 Attacks


Mosque in London

The rise of extremist Islam is alarming Britons now more than ever. A poll revealed more Britons fear Islam now than they did immediately after the September 11th terrorist attacks in America. There is an aggressive movement rising up in Britain where extremists are trying to force Islam on non-Muslims and it is causing upset and distress.

There have been publicized incidents of Britons being attacked in their nation for walking through predominating Muslim areas and told they do not belong there, which is ironic, as their ancestors have been there thousands of years. There are publicized incidents of extremist Muslims doing foot patrols through London trying to enforce Sharia Law on Britons who are not Muslim. The British government has begun prosecuting in courts of law, people who do the aforementioned things, as it infringes up on the peace, privacy and freedoms of others who are not Muslim.

POLL: More Britons Fear Islam NOW than They Did Immediately After 9/11 Attacks 

5 Jul 2015 - A YouGov poll has found more British people think multiculturalism makes the nation a worse place to live in than those who approve. The results, published as part of a ten-year anniversary project too mark the London 7/7 bombings provided both a snapshot of British feeling towards the new religions and cultures now becoming established in the Islands, as well as attitudes towards terrorism.

Overall, the break between those in Britain who felt multiculturalism was a bad influence over those who thought it was positive was very close, 38 per cent to 37 per cent, with a further 25 per cent unable to tell the difference, or of the opinion it had no influence at all. The difference was much more pronounced when political affiliations were taken into account, however, a strong majority of UKIP voters, on 77 per cent, thought multiculturalism a bad thing.

Liberal Democrat voters were the most positive about multiculturalism, but still only managed to find 54 per cent to agree that it had made Britain a better place to live, reports the Independent. More telling is the changing attitude in the United Kingdom towards Islam. The question asked of the sample specifically looks to Islam, with "Islamic Fundamentalist Groups" excepted.

When asked in 2001, only a month after the 9/11 terror attacks in New York whether Islam posed a threat to ‘Western Liberal Democracy’, only 33 per cent thought it posed ‘some’ or a ‘major’ threat. Fast-forward to 2015, and the picture has changed considerably. Asked the same question today, 56 per cent of Britons think Islam represents a threat to the West, and 79 per cent thought Britain would be the victim of large-scale terror attacks in the future.

The UK Leaders Debate 2015 And Britain’s Future


2015 UK Leaders Debate

I recently watched the UK Leaders Debate 2015 and it was engaging. The future of Britain looks good. Candidates debated their point of view in vying for the post of Prime Minister of Britain. The United Kingdom has made strides under incumbent David Cameron. The 2008 financial crisis that began in America and spread to many nations, created a significant amount of global economic damage. Cameron made some necessary cuts to stem the damage and return the country to financial growth.

To further these endeavors, a greater return to manufacturing is key. Another area that needs to be addressed is reopening factories that were closed during the financial crisis. Bring them back as new business ventures that will generate revenue from product sales. While Britain may not be able to currently duplicate the absolute low prices of items made in China that we all buy, as said items have proved very useful. Britain can trade on one of its other strengths. For decades items bearing the “Made in Britain” mark carries a level of prestige and name recognition. It’s time to use that again in a wider series of product campaigns. It would also be beneficial to start exporting British culture again on a greater scale.

A small government created committee should be formed, with at least one economic mind present, with corporate experience. Many wealthy foreigners, some of whom are billionaires, live in Britain. Their children also live in Britain and go to school there as well. Therefore, a desire and inclination to further invest in the community one lives likely exists. Britain also has homegrown millionaires and billionaires. A government based investment bureau could serve as a means of pairing such wealthy people with businesspeople, who have proper product ideas and plans and possess the know how to reopen factories.

Tax Incentives For Foreign Businesses

A special tax rate for foreign companies willing to open offices in Britain, would attract new businesses and generate additional revenue. Ireland’s 5% tax rate for foreign businesses has brought in new foreign revenues over the past several years. 

Unused National Resources

England has a significant amount of land that could be used for more farming. In China, business people willing to work the land, are allowed to use government land for free. It has greatly increased Chinese exports and provided well for local families willing to work the land and pay taxes on revenues.

An example of an item that is needed and grows well in Britain are potatoes. There are so many foreign and domestic restaurant and fast food chains in Britain, who use potatoes on a daily basis. Increasing domestic potato farming could generate additional billions in revenues.

The Crown Estate owns many properties in Britain. Local councils also own a number of properties. Britons with sound business plans and even modest savings, should be allowed a few months free rent to establish a viable local businesses and under contract, pay rent beginning in the third or fourth month of occupancy once the venture is up and running.

The Knife Attack On Boxer Kell Brook Is More Proof You Can’t Trust People You Don’t Know

Kell Brook

While holidaying in Tenerife, an island of Spain, world IBF welterweight boxing champion, Kell Brook, of Sheffield, England, was viciously stabbed by a man he’d met hours prior at a local bar. Brook was celebrating with other Brits on the island and was befriended by many people. Many were kind to him, one was not. 

After sending his pregnant wife back to their hotel after dinner via cab, Brook went to a bar with an elderly British couple. There, the champ celebrated with other Brits. When the party moved to the bar manager’s flat at closing time, an inebriated Brook followed along, celebrating after months of arduous, alcohol free training and winning the IBF title. 

After the party, Brook went drinking at the flat of one of the party-goers. A slightly worse for wear Brook was having a conversation with the man, while they drank. Brook stated the conversation quickly turned from boxing to claims street fighters are better and out of nowhere the man attacked the boxer with a large knife, chopping at his leg. It left a huge, gaping wound with blood pouring from it, endangering Brook's life. 

Kell Brook's knife wound

Brook fled the apartment and sought help from his assailant’s neighbor, feverishly knocking on their window and door, before passing out from extreme blood loss that could have result in fatal exsanguination. Brook woke up in a hospital shortly after and police contacted the mother of his children at the hotel. The Daily Mail, who interviewed the boxing star, stated they know the identity of his assailant. However, they declined to publish his name. Police have not made an arrest at this time and are currently investigating the matter. 

Brook comes across as an unassuming man, which is a good trait, but some people will take advantage of that if allowed. After hearing good and bad stories for years since I was a kid, about what can go right and wrong in the sports and entertainment industries, one thing my dad, a veteran in both fields always emphasized is, one has to be careful regarding whom one trusts. 

There are some unsavory characters in this world. Not everyone is your friend. Some are decent people. However, some are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference until they show their true colors and the damage is done. I know at times the Judiciary Report can take on a very serious and somewhat pessimistic tone, but that’s because I know and have seen the good as well as the very bad things can happen to people in the entertainment and sports industries. 

 
Kell Brook's knife wound

You must realize, not everyone will wish you well. Some will seek to use, exploit and harm you. Not everyone has morals. As one of my favorite teachers used to say when I would wonder why people do cruel things to others, “Not everyone was raised by your mama.” A lot of you need to remember that, not everyone was raised the way you were. Just because you wouldn’t do something cruel, doesn’t mean others won’t.

Don’t be paranoid and negative, but be a realist, hoping for the best. Be smart and selective about those in your circle, because not everyone in life will mean you well. It’s a cold, hard fact, but it is true. It’s a sad day when you have to evaluate friendships, both existing and potential ones, but when you get to a certain place in life, you have to do so for your own protection and preservation. Trust is earned. Don’t just give it away. Protect yourself, your family and your finances.

A Second British Boxer Attacked On Vacation In Spain Leading To The Postponement Of Another Fight



Jamie Moore 

In the August 9, 2014 article, Boxer Shot Five Times In Gangster Attack Leading To Postponement Of Show, the Judiciary Report wrote about the shooting of well-liked English boxer, Jamie Moore, who was shot 5 times in a hit whilst on vacation in Spain at the home of the son of drug kingpin, Christy Kinahan. Some called it a case of mistaken identity. The criminal remains at large. It derailed and delayed the Matchroom Boxing fight Moore's boxer, Matthew Macklin, was scheduled to participate it.

Is There A Connection
Kell Brook

One month later, the newly crowned IBF welterweight champion of the world, Kell Brook, was stabbed in the leg while on vacation in Spain, leading to significant blood loss and hospitalization. The criminal remains at large. It mirrored the unprovoked attack on Moore. It has also resulted in the cancellation of Brook's Matchroom Boxing title defense fight that was scheduled for December 6, 2014.

Kell Brook

Ironically, days before the attack on affable Brook, on August 31, 2014, the Sun Newspaper reported, rival boxer Amir Khan had posted a photo of a knife accompanied by the caption "I won't kill him. But I'll watch him die." It provoked outrage online, due to ISIS beheadings, prompting Khan to delete the post. However, the Judiciary Report is not of the belief Khan had anything to do with Brook's stabbing.

Screen cap from the Sun Newspaper regarding Amir Khan's post on social networking

Is someone targeting people associated with Matchroom Boxing fights. The 30-year-old company has experienced a resurgence this year, with a number of high profile sold out shows in Britain and victories in Europe and the United States, which has significantly raised its profile in the press and boxing world. These attacks need to stop, as boxers don't deserve this type of treatment, especially after all the risks they take going into the ring and putting their physical health on the line.

British Prime Minister David Cameron Says 'Britain Can Rise Again' - Here's How


David Cameron has undertaken sensible austerity measures in Britain

British Prime Minister, David Cameron, stated "Britain can rise again." No, not you "can" but "will." Britain needs to go back to industrialization. It was the cornerstone of the British economy. Certain vital factories were closed in Britain that need to be reopened. Investors brought in with domestic hiring assurances in writing. 

In London a few months ago, saw an informative British wartime documentary with my family in Dulwich. The documentary showed Britons working in factories and other areas of commerce. Industrialization served the nation well. Bring that back. Even in the 1980s Britain produced more goods than today. It's time to revisit that basic principle of commerce. Make it work for the nation. Britain is a great and fun country with a lot going for it, but there is so much more than can be achieved. 

The British government needs to approach more of the wealthy Arab, Latin and Chinese people, who have been visiting and living in London, regarding investing in the nation, with the goal of reopening factories and starting businesses in the United Kingdom. The visa process would have to be simplified for Chinese visitors, as articles a few months ago in the British press stated it is a bit lengthy for people from said region. An agreement with China, much like the hassle free and efficient 90 day visa waiver program Britain has with nations like America, would be useful.

The British banking sector would also have to make it easier for foreign investors to open bank accounts in Britain to do business, waving the residency requirement banks such as Barclays have in effect. The potential for growth is definitely there, but you must tap into it to see the maximum financial return.

Andy Murray at the Olympics last month

British tennis star, Andy Murray, has capped off a great summer, where he won a gold medal at the London Olympics, with a sensational win in the U.S. Open final. The Olympic momentum carried over. Murray triumphed over tennis ace Novak Djokovic to take the title. He is the first British man to win a Grand Slam in 76-years. I know he feels good. Dude you did it! The man definitely deserves official recognition from the U.K. government for this feat. Congrats to Murray.

A few press outlets are speculating that Pippa Middleton, the sister in law of Prince William (The Duke Of Cambridge) is set to leave London, England and move to New York. However, I find that hard to believe. She is treated like a princess in the UK, much like her sister Kate Middleton.

She is sent invitations to a number of social events and freebies galore from designers. Not to mention the paparazzi follow Pippa and her butt everywhere. Photo agencies are still paying top dollar for photos of Middleton to sell to magazines and newspapers.

Not Even Homeland Security Will Take Fruit Cake

Exhibit A: Americans' aversion to fruit cake, as told by the "Fruit Cake" song, which is one dead wrong musical parody of legendary Sam Cooke's music.

Over the years in America, I have seen sitcom after sitcom mock the fruit cake, which is not fair (ok, some deserve it, as a fruit cake should not be able to anchor a ship). I've seen some good fruit cakes in America, then again I've seen a few fruit cakes that looked so lumpy, I wondered how one would digest something of said consistency, as it looked like it would take out one's insides on the way out and possibly back up the septic system. What am I saying, this one looks like it came out of the septic system:

"Bad Fruitcake" courtesy of This Is Real Life

Turns out, not even Homeland Security, who once took the diaper (nappy) off a senior citizen, wants to take fruit cake (Traveling with Food or Gifts). This is a shame. Jamaicans love fruit cake, but it is made differently according to island customs, pardon the pun. All the fruits and candy peel you see on an American fruit cake, are blended in a blender, then baked (aides in digestion and prevents choking as well LOL). Not to mention, it is baked with Jamaican rum, with more Jamaican rum poured over it when the cake is finished baking. Yes, really, Jamaican rum, which coincidentally cost the British battles on the island centuries ago (they got distracted by the rum...and the women).

In closing, for a smoother fruit cake this holiday season, you may want to change things up a bit by blending the fruits in a blender, then baking it with the rest of the fruit cake mixture, which will give you a nice, flavorful cake.

The British Government To Invest 1 Billion Pounds In Employing The Youth Of The Nation

David Cameron

The British Government, headed by Prime Minister, David Cameron, has announced an initiative, to employ British youth, by spending 1 billion pounds in taxpayer funds to create new jobs. This initiative could prove successful, if proper controls are placed on the funds, to prevent waste, mismanagement, misappropriation and undue bureaucracy, which can stifle job creation efforts in any nation.

This initiative could change the hopelessness of many youth, who are struggling to find sustainable work and get off the dole. Having a good, productive job goes a far way in boosting a person's self-esteem and outlook on the future.

The London Student Riots

Warning: video contains violence, profanity and graphic images

Rise in tuition fees sparked riots in London last week. While the increased tuition fees are regrettable, the Judiciary Report urges calm. The site is in favor of the accelerated 2-year degree, which would save money, as opposed to the 3-year degree, in addition to a reworking of finances to help students.

The newly elected Coalition government, have made great and useful budget cuts, which are setting Britain back on the right financial path. They should be commended for that. However, it is my hope some additional reviews can be made to help the students somehow.
