Britain has always been just that – great. Just like the Union Jack has always
been united; and the Armed Forces have always been powerful. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Think of
all the soldiers who risked their lives to protect, conserve, and care for
Great Britain. All their blood flushed down the drain, especially for the
Scottish squads…If anyone really thought of these brave marines and their
uphill battles then this raging referendum wouldn’t even have been mentioned,
let alone brought into action. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Think of
all the lovey-dovey, hunky-dory couples who were so proud of living in the
United Kingdom and so themed their weddings with the union jack. The best man
is wearing a blue suit, white shirt, and red tie. Gaining independence would
ruin the most important day of many lovers’ lives. If anything, they would have
to pay hundreds of pounds to edit the videos and cut out the blue suits. In
real life it isn’t that easy, we can’t just cut out Scotland, like they’re a
meaningless suit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

eye is the fact that Scotland is what the future should behold.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

which causes one to have lack of control over their body; the disease can
eventually lead to death. Having ALS isn't anyone’s cup of tea and makes hell
seem like a better option. Fortunately, the ice bucket challenge has raised millions
from celebrities and every other John Doe. Whoever is nominated is required to
empty a bucket of ice water over themselves (yes, willingly!), and thereafter
donate and nominate. Regarding the nominating aspect it is vastly viral, especially
amongst teenagers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

why am I still promoting it? Well, I'm not. Although the ice bucket challenge
raises awareness of a life taking disease – water should not be wasted in the
process. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

that plenty of people are only videoing themselves getting soaked, solely for
attention on social media. Are your instagram followers more valuable than
paying money to charity? How do close your eyes peacefully each night, knowing
that you’re simply deceiving everyone – and letting down sufferers of ALS,
desperately in need of your aid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

(pun not intended), think of yourself. Reports reiterate that sudden exposure
to extreme cold can be detrimental to your health. Possibly, you could suffer
of hypothermia, frostbite, or shock- this is significant for people with breathing
problems like asthma. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

when a guy gets drunk and tries to pick up a chick at the club he won’t notice
that her eyeliner is uneven (I’d be surprised if he remembered her name!). In
the course of time, when the same guy gets down on one knee, he won’t remember
what colour her lipstick was when he first laid eyes on her. Nevertheless, it’s
still initially appearance that draws someone in… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

the closest a young lady will get compared to a summer’s day is being called
“hot”. In fact, an Indian takeout is more what guys sound like they are
describing when they blabber on about girls – spicy, sizzling, and delicious. Mind
you, most of those guys are teenage drug addicts whose faces only a mother
could love! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

from a man’s point of view (if there are any real men left), women are
seemingly too obsessed with makeup, hair, and clothes; they forget their
natural physical charm. Ironically, men are overly obsessed with these natural
physical charms such as large chests and slender thighs. Am I being sexist?
Guilty. Likewise, I am being hypocritical in every way possible. I don’t
remember the last time a girl has accepted any man as attractive unless they
are tall, dark and handsome. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

beauty is a mere allusion. It isn’t there. It is an image that has forcefully been
processed in our minds causing us to perceive people as attractive. Clearly, if
one did not know the definitions of ‘beautiful’ or ‘ugly’; they would not be
able to tell the difference. To let appearance affect our opinions of people,
that is the question.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Once known
as the naïve, innocent, and cute actress; daughter of the infamous Will Smith
and serious business woman Jada Pinkett Smith, the angelic devil has turned
into a sinking ship. Primarily, this was a result of her outlandish music
videos; eccentric haircuts and dyes; and arguably her “coming out of the closet”
at such a young age. Nevertheless, this sort of barbarity has presently become
a trend with celebrities and does not exactly alarm the every-day teen post the
ice-age. She is no longer just a sinking ship after her picture in a bed with a
senior guy…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Titanic is
what Willow Smith has evolved into. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Recently,
the somewhat failure to the Smiths had posted an eyebrow raising snap of
herself in bed with Moises Arias, an actor aged 20. Now, this would have been
tolerable if little Willow was at least three years older than 13! She has
literally put her parents’ reputation on the line, with investigations
attempting to extract a piece of evidence, anything, to make the Smith family
seem less than mediocre. The controversial picture has not only sparked alight
the chain of criticisms to her upbringing, but also to her common sense.
Despite the fact it has not been proved or disproved that Arias and the Devil’s
little helper have been involved in any sexual activity together, Willow should
have had enough IQ to realise that posting an image as such would raise a cause
for concern.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">“Life is
not fair”, we’ve all heard it before (unless you’re an antisocial introvert
hiding in a shed somewhere). Seriously, though, this time it is unfair on Will
and Jada. Poor mummy and daddy haven’t done anything to deserve the uncalled
for actions of their daughter. Although I certainly do not have inside access
to their household, and neither does anyone for that matter, it can definitely
be argued that ‘atrocious’ parenting is not something connoted to the Smiths. Yes,
Daddy may be too busy filming his iRobot or whatever big-hit, money magnet of a
blockbuster. That doesn’t mean a thing. Zilch. Jada. Oops, I meant nada. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Jada is miles
away from being like Rapunzel’s mother (even though she has pride like the
Queen of Corona). From what is printed on the news, she is a successful
businesswoman and essentially all her business is promoting her offspring and
ensuring they have a satisfactory career, if not more. Yet, if she is willing
to allow her children to consume her time 24/7, she is bound to care, nurture,
and most prominently love them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Thirteen.
It is the age of transforming from a cub to lion. One way to look at this case,
is to notice that Willow is just learning how to roar and cope with her fame,
and has not yet quite come to terms with it. Once she has grasped the concepts
of being the daughter to such a role model she will surely accentuate the real
side of her parents’ parenting…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white;">Define
“English People”. What makes someone English? Does it make you English if you
are born in England? Does it make you English if your parents are English? A
few years ago, I met someone who was rather special. When you first meet
someone you ask them where they are from – kind of a formality nowadays. I
asked this guy where he is from, and he replied “You tell me; my parents are
Afghan, <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">I’m born</span> in
Russia, my nationality is Dutch, but I am a British citizen”. Therefore, the point I am trying to make is
that how can one pass a law that allows only English people to play for
England, if we cannot come to an agreement as to what ‘English’ actually
represents. As a result, anyone who is proud to be English, and obviously
qualified to play, must be allowed to play for England…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white;">However,
some people who are born in England like all their known ancestors may find it
unfair that random people migrating from other countries are taking up land and
jobs; especially high paid ones like being a football player. This is a
completely normal and common viewpoint to have, because no one likes the idea
of injustice. Nevertheless, those flying in with a flurry of immigrants aren’t
randomly coming into England. In fact, 78% of immigrants help strengthen the
economy by working in jobs which are not occupied and in need of labour. So is
it unfair that people are helping reduce England’s deficit? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white;">Furthermore,
throughout British history Romans, Scandinavians, and many more have invaded
England. This dates way back to the first century BC, and according to
Professor Poore many people living in England have ancestors who aren’t
originally English. <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Common
sense is all it is</span>. Hence, it is more difficult to define an English
person than to find a needle in a haystack. Quite frankly, I couldn’t look
someone in the eye and tell them they aren’t English, could you?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white;">How can
people sit comfortably at home when statements like “only English people should
play for England” are being made? Isn’t that just a tad bit racist? It is
definitely discriminating, whilst “English” people are not all about
discriminating but about variety, multiculturalism, and colour! <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">There are young, innocent kids
who aspire to become footballers and represent the country they grow up in, I
refuse to be the one to shatter dreams…hopes…lives</span>. Like you, I too feel horrified <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">to witness</span> the fact that
racism is still around, even though its mild, gentle, and subtle racism. African-English, Asian-English,
European-English; it is all still English. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Once upon a
time, Madeleine McCann was soundly asleep when a ferocious monster in black and
white striped attire grabbed, attacked, and murdered her…Only to then bury her
right next to where he found her – even Cinderella’s pumpkin morphing into a
carriage sounds more convincing. Surely, anyone who has the intellect to
organize a quintessential kidnapping has enough common sense not to dump the
body next to the crime scene? Evidently, the senior know-it-all digging up the
Portuguese resort’s land is a doubting Thomas. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The last
thing that mourning mother needs is a constant reminder, it hurts to have salt
rubbed onto the wound. A mother without her little one is like an iPhone
without the home button; a Happy Meal without the toy</span><span lang="EN-US">; and Mississippi without a drop of
water: unbearable. But then again, that’s the consequence of leaving your
iPhone unattended. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
More significantly, if Maddie IS
found merely a short walk away from the resort, the British and Portuguese
police forces would be immensely interrogated. Understatement of the century.
I’m rather certain that Senhor Policier won’t be over the moon about this.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Economically,
this eureka moment of the senior police has not quite earned the title of being
helpful. As we all know (hopefully), the infamous crime occurred in Portugal.
Seemingly, it would be the Portuguese forces’ responsibility to put in the
effort for the incorruptible dream of Maddie’s recovery. Yet, we as British
taxpayers are paying the price for another country’s flaws. Despite the fact
that this is the procedure with most crimes involving British citizens in
foreign countries; it is unjust. Or, rather colloquially, it’s shabby. By no
means am I claiming it isn’t worth looking into a little girl’s life, but it should be done
with diligence, strategy, and not out of our pockets</span><span class="MsoCommentReference"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US">- because unlike Rihanna</span><span lang="EN-US">, I won’t still have my money. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">You would
think that by now I’d have run out of issues to have with this case. Well, I
most certainly have not. Despite this concluding problem indeed being
far-fetched, I’m going to express how many miles outside the box I’m willing to
think in order to eradicate the silly procedures to find a dead body we don’t
even know is dead. Considering every one of you has watched the news at least
once in the past ten years (quite ironically I’m making an assumption), inevitably
you will have heard something about war. Anything ranging from Iraq insurgency, Taliban
invasion in Afghanistan; Israel and Palestine refusing to share; and let’s not
forget Russia’s ‘helpful’ visit to Ukraine</span><span lang="EN-US">. In all of these situations,
children disappear, get tortured, or die. For parents to deal with such
horrendous, barbaric, and sick events is not a walk in the park. Merely ten out
of these millions of casualty cases are maybe considered on CNN and then vanish
into thin air. It is questionable why every missing child isn’t being
sensationalized and looked into – especially when many years have passed by.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Nigella Lawson is a well-known
celebrity chef, and stars in many TV cooking reality shows such as <i>Nigellisima</i>
and <i>The Taste</i>. Even though she has already reached the age of 54, she is
constantly put through the wringer for her seemingly provocative way of
presenting. Whether this is sexism or the hard truth is left for you to decide.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Considering the rollercoaster life
Nigella Lawson has been enduring, it is difficult not to feel sorry for her. Nevertheless,
she has resorted to certain actions which are looked down upon by her fan base
as well as society as a whole. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Having had a difficult
childhood may explain Nigella’s “flaws”. She did not have an amazing
relationship with her mother, and her parents also divorced. Unfortunately,
this caused her to be a disruptive student and made her move schools
consistently. However, at a later stage, she did manage to graduate from a
world respected university – Oxford (even though this did not lift her familial
woes). Consequently, it is only natural for people to judge Nigella’s use of
drugs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Soon after Nigella’s husband
had died, she apparently could not take the depression she suffered from it.
Hence, she claimed drugs were the only solution to her problems. No, I’m not
speaking of prescribed drugs; Nigella had a connection with cocaine! Surely, an
Oxford graduate knows better… Many people argued that her drug use was for
pleasure or addiction, and couldn’t possibly be because of her late husband.
Well, who is to blame them, Nigella willingly married another man without even
a year passing of her first husband’s death.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Charles Saatchi wasn’t exactly
a knight in shining armour. He was found guilty of assaulting Nigella, after photographers
captured him strangling her. At first, Nigella attempted to act like everything
was hunky-dory, but the police knew otherwise. It quickly became apparent that
their relationship had taken an unpleasant turn and the photograph was merely a
small piece of the puzzle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">So far, it was only her
personal life which was somewhat disastrous. Recently, Nigella’s career has
been affected. The TV show, The Taste, has lost half of its viewers, leaving it
with only one million viewers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">On the whole, no one’s life is
a walk in the park; everyone has family problems at least once in their life. Who
can blame her for simply being human?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Islam is supposed to preach
all about peace; hence the Arabic word used to greet people, <i>Salam</i>, which literally</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> translates to ‘peace’. The Taliban terrorists seem to
have forgotten to go to Specsavers, because nowhere in the Islamic laws does it
say that taking another person’s life is legitimate. Evidently, the Taliban
aren’t very nice people who strongly believe they are justified for shooting
little girls on their way to school. Malala Yousefzai was their target.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Seemingly, the Taliban profoundly</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> loathe the idea of women attending school, or doing
anything for that matter. Thus, Malala travelling to school was like a lamb to
the slaughter.</span><span class="MsoCommentReference"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Unfortunately, she was shot because she had previously
raised her voice for every
girl’s rights. Nevertheless, she gratefully received treatment </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">at a hospital in Birmingham and has now fully
recovered. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Many people have claimed that
Malala is a “western puppet” or a “spy for the CIA”. One can understand that it
is miraculous,
wondrous, and phenomenal</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> that Malala has survived such a barbaric attack.
However, what person is courageous enough, or stupid enough, to stage being
shot in the head? Malala is brave as a lion because she is still putting wood
in the fire</span><span class="MsoCommentReference"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">by speaking out against the Taliban even after she had
been shot. Some sick part of society use this as an excuse to illustrate her as
a western puppet just to put the icing on the cake for their new mega media
story. Surely, you cannot be a spy or puppet for the westerns if you even speak out
against them?</span><span class="MsoCommentReference"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Recently, Malala had a
friendly meeting with President Barack Obama in which she confronted him about
his ways of attacking terrorist groups as it kills innocent civilians. Clearly,
she is
implying that Obama is just as bad as the terrorists</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> if innocent people are dying. Therefore, there is
barely a chance that Malala is being controlled in any way. Not to mention the
fact that the Taliban have admitted to shooting her!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nowadays,
there are conspiracy theories at every corner you turn. Apparently, anything
triangle is part of the Illuminati, that is, if they even exist. Some state
that Osama Bin Laden is still alive and had plastic surgery performed… We can’t
believe everything we hear from the media or from society – we have to stand on
our own two feet and decide, individually. Using our common sense (or what is
left of it at least) and logic, it is safe to say that Malala isn’t an idiot to allow people to
shoot her in the head just for a bit of money or fame.</span></span><br />
