Though the written word has a beauty of its own, there is a singular beauty to the way words sound and mix to create a world all of its own.  Here is an old Irish song sung in Irish Gaelic and English, transporting us to the days of yore. ]]> 2019-02-25 18:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/CountryUK/d8q0mgjvlka8/wish/335033457 CountryUK https://padlet.com/CountryUK/d8q0mgjvlka8/wish/350188514 For nearly two years now we have been reading about the departure of the UK from the EU.

It is also a way to  understand all of the recent protests against this motion and against Theresa May herself. In the end it is important to see what the future of the UK will be with this huge politic move.

Once we get to the early 1900's, when South Africa finally gets their independence, it was the British who decided that the mainly white politicians would rule, initiating what would be one of the most racist regimes in the world. Here we read a little about apartheid to see how it all started and how far it actually got. ]]> 2019-04-10 01:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/CountryUK/d8q0mgjvlka8/wish/350191276 CountryUK https://padlet.com/CountryUK/d8q0mgjvlka8/wish/350197913 In this video you can see the reasnos why and how Britain colonized India]]> 2019-04-10 02:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/CountryUK/d8q0mgjvlka8/wish/350197913 CountryUK https://padlet.com/CountryUK/d8q0mgjvlka8/wish/350201420 This article explained the mutual benefits between the UK and United States in the late Nineteenth Century]]> 2019-04-10 02:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/CountryUK/d8q0mgjvlka8/wish/350201420 CountryUK https://padlet.com/CountryUK/d8q0mgjvlka8/wish/350202390 The UK is one of the three countries that puts the most money into the EU budget.

Israel, since de begining of the war in 2014, has had a lot of problems, some of them are economic, and it affects other areas of the country's system. In the article, it is mentioned that  the money (given by UK) half of which will be funnelled through the World Bank, will create hundreds of jobs, enhance water and electricity infrastructure, and help boost exports to Israel and beyond.

That Britain is supporting Israel over the Gaza killings is true to form.

The UK has not answered the UN request to search and answer to the 189 unexplicable deads that took place in Gaza. In the article, we can read the following piece of text, that show how the UK refuses to acknowledge those deads; "The commission found reasonable grounds to believe that all 189 fatalities were caused by unlawful use of force – with the possible exception of two incidents – and that medical workers, journalists some children and some people with visible disabilities were shot intentionally."]]> 2019-04-10 03:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/CountryUK/d8q0mgjvlka8/wish/350209306
