Tax Freedom Day
2008-07-19 09:42:00 Tax Freedom Day is the day on which we stop working for the Chancellor and start working for ourselves.If the average person works from 1 Jan each year, it will be June before they have earned enough to pay their taxes.The tax burden isn?t just income tax and national insurance, it includes VAT, fuel taxed, alcohol and cigarette duties, airline tax, fuel duties, car tax and many, many more.The preferences for stealth taxes in the past few years has meant that it?s becoming harder for people to understand how much they are paying. The importance of Tax Freedom Day is that it detects stealth taxes.Tax Freedom Day 2008 falls on 2 June.This means that for 155 days of the year, every penny earned by the average UK resident was taken to support government expenditures. 1965 27 April 1987 5 June 1966 4 May 1988* 5 June 1967 16 May 1989 3 June 1968* 22 May 1990 3 June 1969 29 May 1991 3 June 1970 2 June 1992* 29 May 1971 25 May 1993 23 May 1972* 17 May 1994 23 May 197...

Christian registrar wins discrimination case
2008-07-10 07:13:00 Christian Institute reports, "A Christian registrar from Islington who was bullied and threatened with the sack because of her religious beliefs on same sex unions has succeeded in her claims of unlawful discrimination by the council.In its unanimous judgment, the employment tribunal found that Miss Lillian Ladele was directly discriminated against by Islington Council after she asked to be allowed not to perform civil partnership registrations.Miss Ladele was supported by her Legal team, James Dingemans QC and Mark Jones of Ormerods solicitors.

Harman pushes discrimination plan
2008-06-26 14:58:00 BBC says, "Equality minister Harriet Harman has set out plans to allow firms to discriminate in favour of female and ethnic minority job candidates. She said firms should be able to choose a woman over a man of equal ability if they wanted to - or vice versa." So it is OK to discriminate against men in general and the majority community in particular. Harman's post should be renamed as the minister for inequality and social engineering.

A load of hot air in London
2008-06-09 00:00:00 Take to the skies this summer as England teams up with a German airship operator to offer unique tours of the British capital.For a six-week period from July, five sightseeing flights on board Zeppelin crafts will take place each day, lasting roughly 45 minutes each.Climbing 2,000 feet above the Thames, the trips will take in famous landmarks including St Paul's Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament and royal residence Buckingham Palace.Cabins are roomy enough for 12 passengers at a time, with all enjoying window seats.

Country pub in the heart of London
2008-05-30 00:00:00 If it's rustic charm and a community atmosphere you're after in a pub, look no further than London's immensely popular The Flask.Situated in the picturesque village of Highgate not far from the green expanse of Hampstead Heath, this drinking house has all the allure of a traditional country pub but the advantages of being just five minutes from bustling Camden.The Flask is best visited in summer when the ample outside terrace draws in locals, tourists and even the odd celebrity to sample the wide range of beers on tap and excellent barbeques.Inside however, the view is just as good, with stooping ceilings, wood-panelling and a series of cosy inter-connecting rooms making this 18th-century establishment a real find.After a leisurely afternoon of ale, head to nearby Waterlow Park for a spectacular sunset over the London skyline.For more pubs as well as a wider choice of restaurants, Camden town is just three stops away on the tube.

An Urban Retreat in London
2008-05-18 20:30:00 Shop 'til you drop may be the mantra of the British capital but at least there's a place to combine the two in fashionable Knightsbridge.Situated conveniently above legendary store Harrods, Urban Retreat offers much more than R&R after a long day trawling the nearby designer shops and trendy boutiques.This exclusive spa is all about choice, offering services as diverse as the anti-cellulite body blitz, maternity treatments, a wig boudoir and intuitive healing.It boasts some of the best beautification experts in the UK, including hair wizard Philip Kingsley whose products are used by a host of A-list stars from Kate Winslet to Sigourney Weaver.For those with money to splurge, why not follow another celebrity trend and release your own perfume?

Swanning around near London
2008-05-18 20:30:00 Push the boat out this summer enjoying a 12th-century tradition on the gorgeous River Thames.The ceremony of Swan Upping sees members of the Queen's establishment don bright scarlet uniforms and embark on a five-day voyage upstream to check the local swan population is at a healthy level.The bird-brained idea dates back hundreds of years but is enjoyed to this day by scores of tourists who flock to lock gates and bridges along the historic route to watch the flotilla pass.The Queen's swan marker and accompanying swan uppers start out in six medieval rowing skiffs on July 14th at Sunbury in Surrey and complete the course at Abingdon, Oxfordshire.Along the way they'll be rounding up cygnets to count and carrying out other vital conservation work in a colourful display of pageantry.Traditionally the Crown has claimed ownership of all unmarked mute swans in open water but today the Queen only exercises this on certain stretches of the Thames and surrounding tributaries.

Tower over London
2008-05-11 20:30:00 Offering fantastic views right across London, Tower Bridge is one of the most famous constructions of its type in the world.Now open to the public as a museum, the medieval-looking bridge, which is still in use, was opened in 1894.Designed by Sir Horace Jones, it is notable for its engineering ingenuity, hydraulically-operating twin bascules, raising them to allow space for tall ships and boats to pass through.It is possible to call ahead to find out when a bridge lift is occuring, so visitors have a chance to see this impressive sight, taking place approximately 1,000 times a year.The in-house museum, the Tower Bridge Experience, offers a fascinating insight into the history of the bride by way of animatronic characters, video and computers.From the walkways, which are situated 42 metres above the River Thames, visitors can see breathtaking views of some of the British capital's most noteworthy landmarks, including Canary Wharf, St Paul's Cathedral and the London Eye.
'Respect atheists', says Cardinal
2008-05-09 07:02:00 BBC reports, "Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor urges deeper understanding between believers and non-believersThe Archbishop of Westminster has urged Christians to treat atheists and agnostics with "deep esteem".Believers may be partly responsible for the decline in faith by losing sense of the mystery and treating God as a "fact in the world", he said in a lecture.Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor called for more understanding and appreciation between believers and non-believers.The leader of Roman Catholics in England and Wales said that a "hidden God" was active in everyone's life.The Cardinal's lecture at Westminster Cathedral comes after a spate of public clashes over issues such as stem-cell research, gay adoption and faith schools.He expressed concern about the increasing unpopularity of the Christian voice in public life, saying: "Our life together in Britain cannot be a God-free zone and we must not allow Britain to become a world devoid of religious faith and its powerful contrib...

You are distrustful of some of the big financial institutions but would like to earn a decent return on your cash if possible.If that sounds like you, then you may be interested to hear that Tuesday sees the launch of a public share issue aimed at raising £8.5m to invest in wind farms and other renewable energy projects across the country.

UNITED KINGDOM: El Reino Unido instala la mayor turbina de energía generada
2008-05-05 08:56:00 A finales de marzo, en Londres, los grupos ecologistas asistían con preocupación al acuerdo en materia de energía al que habían llegado Nicolas Sarkozy y el primer ministro británico, Gordon Brown: ambos países, según acordaron los mandatarios, colaborarán estrechamente en el lanzamiento de una nueva generación de centrales nucleares.Pocos días después de que Nicolas Sarkozy y Gordon Brown culminasen su ?entente nuclear?, sin embargo, un carguero, el Rambiz, zarpaba de los astilleros de Belfast (Irlanda del Norte) con una carga esperanzadora para quienes desean que la respuesta al cambio climático no sea la energía nuclear: el SeaGen, una inmensa turbina destinada a aprovechar la fuerza de las mareas para producir energía limpia.Ese mismo día, el 30 de marzo, el Rambiz llegaba a su destino: las aguas cerca de la costa de Strangford Lough, un 'lago' ?entiéndase fiordo- que se extiende en la orilla más oriental de Irlanda del Norte. Desde entonces, los ingenieros han trabajado a fon...
Being British
2008-05-04 17:13:00 A friend on Ealing Forum asked me, " How would you define the essential characteristics, personalities and traits of being British?"First of all the essential characteristic is not a British passport.Patriotic loyalty is to the UK. Home is where the heart is, not residence. So people in Gibraltar may be British in a way the Alex Salmon is not.It is not therefore ethnicity. It is something cultural not race or residence.Respect for the rule of law and liberty under it.A certain reserve (Ulster Scots and Yorkshire folk may be exceptions to this) You do not wear your heart on your sleeve nor do you parade your wealth.You are not ashamed of your heritage nor do you brag about it.You welcome foreigners but they do not feel you warmly embrace them.Good manners and politeness. Women and children first. Orderly queues.You want the UK to continue united. You are not a nationalist for any one country in the UK.You can sing the national anthem. You are not a republican.You understand ironic h...

See democracy in action in London
2008-05-01 20:30:00 One of the most spectacular buildings in London, the neo-gothic Westminster Palace is home to the decision-making heart of the UK.Parliament is open to visitors for most of the year and tours around the fascinating building take place on a regular basis. The home of the famous Big Ben, visitors will hear the bell toll on the hour in person as they look round the areas of the famous palace that are not restricted.Built between 1840 and 1888 and housing the House of Commons and the House of Lords, those who visit the building while parliament in session may have the opportunity to view debates in one of the houses from the public galleries.These have been blocked off by a glass screen since a coloured powder was thrown at the prime minister by activists a few years ago.To gain access to Westminster, visitors should stand in line by the St Stephen's entrance, for an excellent opportunity to see democracy in action - many of those in line here will be waiting to lobby their member of p...

How cheap can your mobile tariffs get?
2008-04-28 16:43:00 Way back in late nineties when I procured my first mobile phone (a.k.a brick), I used to think more than 10 times before making a phone call from my cellular. Do you know why? Each minute of a outgoing call used to cost me a whooping 16 rupees a minute. It was huge ! The phone was used only for ultra urgent and important calls. Fast forward ten years and an outgoing call now costs around 50 paise for a local outgoing call - nearly 30 times lesser. Now-a-days, even if I am at home, I prefer using a cell phone to make a call rather than my landline. It turns out cheaper. No wonder India has become the second largest Wireless network in the world. The only time I am careful while making calls is when I am traveling out of station. The STD and roaming charges can really make a dent in your pocket. According to research, close to 70% of STD users in India do not use this facility for more than 5 minutes a month. Also close to 80% of users switch off their mobiles while roaming. Howe...

I can remember some of the illustrations. Nothing in here about guarding Olympic Torches. Very clever. My brother sent these in an email, so no idea who the clever insurgents are. There are more pages, which I will get a link for.
