...Normans. Some might argue that the English Civil War (1642-1651) was the nation's revolution but the main constitutional consequence - the abolition of the monarchy - only lasted 11 years and the Restoration of the Monarchy has so far lasted 350 years (although it is now, of course, a very different monarchy). There was a time in British history which we call the Glorious Revolution (1688) but it was a very English revolution, in the sense that nobody died, if a rather Dutch revolution in that it saw William of Orange take the throne. So the British have never had anything equivalent to the American Revolution or the French Revolution, they have not been colonized in a millennium but rather been the greatest colonizers in history, and in neither of the two world wars were they invaded or occupied. This explains why: • almost uniquely in the world, Britain has no written constitution (the only other such nations are Israel & New Zealand) • the political system is not neat or logical or always fully democratic or particularly efficient • change has been very gradual and pragmatic and built on consensus To simplify British political history very much, it has essentially been a struggle to shift political power and accountability from the all-powerful king - who claimed that he obtained his right to rule from God - to a national parliament that was increasingly representative of ordinary people and accountable to ordinary people. There have been many milestones along this long...

...its impact on the UK economy is one that has been widely discussed over the years, given the significant economic effects it imposes on both parties involved. The UK taking up its membership into the EU in 1973 following its establishment in 1967 enabled vast benefits of free trade to be shared amongst members of this trading bloc. However, over a quarterly time series from 1999 to 2014 the UK has been noted to have run a relatively large balance of trade deficit in terms of its trade in goods with the EU (see figure 2), and as such lays emphasis on the UK’s lack of competitiveness, specifically in its manufacturing industry. The importance of the EU has increasingly become more significant in terms of the UK’s total economic activity, generated through trade transactions. Figure 1: ONS As seen in figure 1, there has been a downward trend in the transaction with the EU expressed as a percentage of UK GDP, falling by 231.25% from Q1 of 1991 to Q4 of 2014. In relations to the total trade in goods with the EU, there has generally been a deficit, which increased by 874.9% from 1999 to 2014. From figure 2 it can be observed that the largest deficit of -£21500m occurred in Q4 of 2014 and the lowest in Q4 of 1999. Figure 2: ONS The persistent balance of trade deficit seemed to be a result of imports from the EU to the UK exceeding exports. This could be the case as the percentage increase in exports from transactions made by the UK to the EU was only...

...world with such a powerful range of museums, this tell us how much of a strong reputation Britain holds of having Excellent museums, Museums and galleries are key drivers of British tourism and play a significant role in attracting visitors and in building the British brand overseas. The British Museum has been established for 262 years being established for this long will mean they will be recognized and generally accepted. This museum is ranked 4th in the world, this is very impressive because compared to the other countries such as USA and China who are big nations and for the UK an island to be among them is great.

Which is the highest figure recorded out of 40 museums in the UK. The London British Museum attracted 3.8 million visitors from abroad in 13/14 compared to attracting 3.6 million visitors from abroad in 12/13, as you can see there was an increase of 200 thousand visitors and this could suggest that there is increased demand from people abroad wanting to go to London British Museum in 2013-2014. Total Number of visitors coming to the museum in 13/14 is 6.8m and 3.8m of those are visitors from abroad but they didn’t state how many domestic visitors have visited the museum so I have concluded that that the domestic visitors coming to the museum in...

...GEOGRAPHY OF UNITED KINGDOM The United Kingdom (UK) is located just west of the mainland of Europe. It is made up of several islands, the largest of which is Great Britain. Great Britain is made up of Scotland in the north, England in the southeast and Wales in the southwest. Northern Ireland is the northwestern part of Ireland, a separate island nation just west of Great Britain, but it is also part of the UK. There has been violence in Northern Ireland for centuries because of religious and political conflict there. Because ocean waters surround the UK, it has a mild, rainy climate. The country's farmers produce about 60 percent of the food the UK needs. From 1980–90 the farming became more mechanized, with farmers using machinery to plant and harvest crops. The productivity of UK farms increased during that period by about 10 percent. More farmers raise livestock than crops, and some of the world's best beef and lamb is raised in the UK Location: Western Europe Land Area: 241,590 sq km British Coastline: 12,429 Km Regions in United Kingdom: England: 47 boroughs, 36 counties, 29 London boroughs, 12 cities and boroughs, 10 districts, 12 cities, 3 royal boroughs Northern Ireland: 24 districts, 2 cities, 6 counties Scotland: 32 council areas Wales: 11 county boroughs, 9 counties, 2 cities and counties Bordering Countries to United Kingdom: Republic of Ireland History and Food The United Kingdom (UK) has also been called the British Isles or Great...

...The main purpose of this paper is to make an analysis on the different sources of English law, and discuss the extent to which external sources have affected English law. A basic knowledge of English legal history is important for anyone wishing to study English law, for a number of reasons. Although the UK’s modern legal system, following centuries of legal reforms, is vastly different from that of the 11th century, many fundamental principles and philosophical ideas present in the modern legal system derive from centuries past. Equally, many existing rules of law have their origin in legal history and to fully understand the reason for the current legal norms, it is necessary to appreciate the historical events surrounding their creation (Boxford, 2006, p. 34). Some argue that the English legal system is too conservative and reluctant to adapt to modern conditions. Whilst this claim should not be over-exaggerated, it should also not be ignored. The UK today represents a country with an extremely rich legal history, but also one which seeks to play an active role in the modern global environment. A source of law means the process by which law comes into existence. English law is mainly derived from legislation (both Acts of Parliament and delegated legislation), case law, and European Union law. Custom is a minor source of law. English law, established historically Westminster courts (common law) and Chancery Court (equity), is a right of judicial practice, not only...

There are countless books, articles and websites which attempt to teach people how to communicate with the Japanese in business negotiations. However, these sources can cause further alienation, where the numerous rituals we have to memorise make the Japanese seem obsessively pernickety or just plain difficult. This may be because we naturally interpret these behaviours through the lens of a Western Christian culture and remain relatively unaware of the religion and history of the Japanese. This essay will examine how UK delegations can better understand and negotiate with the Japanese by learning about both the Japanese and their own national culture and history through literature, folktales and religion. Through this preparation a UK team can discover commonalties between the two cultures, which can help...

...all from Sligo and they became friends through acting while they were students at the Summerhill College (“Westlife’s History”, 2015). While still in college, Shane was strongly motivated by the success of Boyzone which made him have a strong desire to start doing pop music (“Westlife’s History”, 2015). Shane first thought of starting a four member singing group called SC4 but then went ahead and joined a group called IOU which comprised of Derek Lacey, Graham Keighron, Mark and Michael Garrett (“Westlife”,2015). The group released their first single called “Together Girl Forever”. However, this was the only song that was done by the group. The determination to music prompted Shane’s mother to intervene and ask Louis Walsh, the manager of Boyzones if he could sign Shane (“Westlife”,2015). It is Loius who first signed Shane, Mark and Kian into the first group. Bryan and Nicky later joined their group hence forming Westside band. The group was co-managed by Ronan Keating and Louis (“Westlife’s History”, 2015). They first public performance became famous making them to win the Tour Award. Upon realizing that there was a group in America calling itself Westside, the group changed its name to Westlife. They then released their first song called “Swear it Again” in April 1999 (“Westlife”,2015). This song performed excellently dominating the musical charts in the UK...
