Hindi language in the UK

Hindi is spoken by over four hundred and ninety million people in the world today. The different areas where this language is spoken in the UK includes big cities of England like Birmingham, London and Manchester, there are also significant numbers in the northern millls towns like Bradford. Over a million people speak Hindi in the UK, the vast majority of people speak Hindi as a second langauage because most of them are second or third generation descendants of immigrants.Most of the forefathers of these immigrants arrived from the 1950's onwards and  then that immiration source stopped in the 1970's. In the 1970's thousands of Asian people who were living in Uganda arrived in the UK after being expelled by Ida Amin.
In 1950 there were only six Indian resaurants in Britain, by 2004 it was estimated there was over 8000. The first recipe for curry in Britain appeared in a cookery book of 1747. Spices from Asia have been incorporated into British cooking for centuries i.e. nutmeg grated on to rice pudding, cinnamon sprinkled on cakes or pepper used to seaseon meats.

London Riots

A 29 year old man named Mark Duggan was shot dead by a police officer at 6:15 pm on Thursday 4th August. This lead to a peaceful protest on Saturday 6th August it sparked unrest and by the end of the night Tottenham was ablaze, with cars and shops set on fire and looters running free. Mr Duggan was a passenger in a minicab and was shot after an apparent exchange of fire but the circumstances of the killing remain unclear. The violence started as bottles are thrown at two patrol cars close to the police station.
While on the other hand rioters saw the killing of Mr Duggan as the police abuse of power. Policing is seen as an inportant factor as to why the riots happened. The rioters called the poilcemen 'gang' saying that the officers enforce laws they themselves don't keep.
In conclusion its of the opinion the police officers are guilty of racism and this probably lead  to the London riots.

Quality of life in uni Glam

The many things that have affected my university life at Glamorgan positively is healthcare because of the body check ups. Also, the accommodation provided by the university is very much comfortable and condusive. Futhermore, the university is very secured and safe. And also the campus is compact and eaasy to find your way around. Most of the welsh citizens are friendly and easy to get along with.
While on the other hand, shopping has been quite expensive most espeially food. Also, the excessive intake of alcohol o other students on campus tend to disturb me. And also there is the school stress, because of coursework and assignments.

New Government post.

The new British Prime Minister is David Cameron, the leader of the Conservative Party. In the General Election the Conservative Party won the majority of seats in Parliament. For the first time, since 1945, the Lib Dems are now part of a government. After 5 days of intense negotiations, on the 11th May the Conservatives and the Lib Dems announced they would form a coalition. David Cameron was 43 years old at the time of the general election. He is the youngest Prime Minister for almost 200 years, and younger than Tony Blair when he became Prime Minister. Politically, the Lib Dem Party has been found standing between the Conservatives and the Labour Party. Each British constituency sends just one MP to parliament. During the negotiations after the hung parliament, the Lib Dems said they wanted a different way to elect governments in the future. Usually, British elections have resulted in the party that wins the highest number of seats in parliament having more seats than all the other parties put together. However, this was not the case in the last general election.

The people of Britain

The people of britain have not originally descended from britain as people have claimed to be but it is a mixture of the native and immigrants of the different nations living in britain. Mostly the people of  people and since over the years more people from differenet places like italy and france have migrated to britain to acquire a better life and environment.

According to BBC(2011)www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/british_prehistory  (Simon James 28/02/2011) and (James Richard August)

The people of Britain have different ways to adapt to certain environments from the way or life style of britain to the religion. when it comes to religion though it exists not most people go to church on sundays  people who go to church are not from britain mostly they are immigrants or people from countries that take religion seriously and is part of their life. The people are very freindly and welcoming especially in wales and the helpful in socializing. with the advancement of infrastures britain has developed diiferent structures that help to foster different people from different needs such as home care
