The United Kingdom 101 part 5

This blog is what i believe is the solution to the U.K's problem with racism and Torture.

I believe that is best that U.K recruit other countries law enforcement. To have the maximum security possible in the U.K. Also promote advertisement campaign promoting racism and torture is bad. That way we educate the people in the U.K. If we keep a constantly promoting racism is bad people willl hopefully stop being racist.

As for torture we can promote an advertisement campaign to promote the 5th law of the Declaration of the Human rights saying no one should be torture just because they think differently. Now you can ask yourself, what do i get in return for helping your country? Well if the United Nation helps the U.K, the United Kingdom will give your country our troops for support for when your at war and provide trading for your country.

So would you please help end racism and torture in the U.K?

This next topic is going to be about the Human rights Issues in the U.K

Sure you look at the U.K as a beautiful, tea drinking, Beatlemania, home to the Heavy Metal Gods and the queen country. But like most countries they aren't always perfect. You have to admit that each country has a dark side. In the case of the U.K is that they violate some human right issues.

One of the thing that U.K is doing that is breaking the rules is that there torturing people. If you don't know or understand what is torture let me tell you. Torture is the idea to inflict pain to force them to do or say some kind of information. The reason for is must be racism(which is some i will write about it later.) They think there nothing wrong with it and there protecting there people to prevent terrorist attacks like 9/11.

Another thing that U.K has done that is wrong in the Human rights is racism. Racism is nothing new its been around for a long time. Unfortunately racism still goes including in the U.K. In 1993 a survey they had done in the U.K shown that 10% percent of ethnic minority suffered racism 24% physical assaults, 17% threats, and 64% percent verbal abuse.
