The 2011 anti-cuts protest in London/ March for the Alternative

Who: Thousands of people all over England have rallied up in anger against the constant cuts of the coalition-government that’s ruled over by David Cameron and Nick clegg.

Why:  Many of these cuts wont allow people the chance to go to university because the price has been put up so high, also many of the cut involve the “letting go” of thousands of people who have slaved away to get where they are now just to be fired because the government decided that your place of work will get 30% less money so your boss can afford to employ you and has no other way to work around it unless they fire you

What: In November 2010 hundreds of people all around England went on protests against the government cuts over tuition fees, counsel funding, benefits, disability benefits and many, many more.

When:  A lot of the protests happened in November and December last year but many are continuing to happen this year, the 25^th to the 27^th of march this year saw one if the biggest protests in the history of England,

Where: Recently the main protests have happened in city centres; one happened in London on the 25^th of March 2011, many have happened in Bristol centre as well.

Justification of choice: The reason I chose this topic was that I new it would eventually affect me as I grow up, and it affects young and old people with new jobs people with old jobs, people with families wont be able to look after there children if they lose there job and the children might be sent into care.

Also I know that people who don’t go to university don’t often get good jobs because if you go to a job interview and another person who’s after the same job as you went to university its most likely that they will be picked over you, this wouldn’t of happened if you got the chance to go to university and get a degree but because of the cuts this might just happen to you.

I know a few people who had dreams of becoming a professor, astronaut a journalist but because of the cuts they wont get the chance, they have the brains and the knowledge but they don’t have the money so they wont ever to get to full-fill there life long dream just because the government went back on its promises and destroyed many young peoples hopes and dreams.

Outline of content:

This article is about the new cuts put in place by the new coalition Government and how I think there affecting people especially the tuition fees cuts, the tuition fees has given the universities all over England the chance to chose how much to charge students for their  time learning and getting their degrees.

Libya

What: Right now in Libya there is a civil war happing,

Who: General Col Muammar Gaddafi (the man I charge of Libya) said he will fight to the “last drop of blood in my veins”, rebel fighters

Where: The rebel fighters in Libya want freedom of Gaddafi and his dictator like rein in Libya,

When: The unrest in Libya started at the beginning of march 2011, recently in the last few days America, England and France(and other nations) have started dropping bombs “tomahawk missiles” on pro-Gaddafi soldiers and weapons such as tanks, anti-air guns and supply lines. Many/most of the countries involved over the problem in Libya have stated that they are not going to go to war but the reason that they are sending air-raids over there are to protect the people of Libya from there leader.

Why: A large percent of Libya’s population has became sick and tired of General Col Muammar Gaddafi rule over Libya, because of the way he treats them and now in his darkest hours he surrounds him self with a literal human shield of his citizens.

Justification of choice:

I chose this topic because it’s happing right now at this very moment that I’m writing this down, another country at the verge of civil war or is at civil war first Tunisia the Egypt and now Libya I find it rally interesting that countries right next to each other are getting rid of there dictators is like a domino effect, if you don’t know what’s going on around you

What’s affecting your day-to-day life? You won’t know what side you’re on and when you find out it might be too late.

Civil war is something we should all be interested in, epically in a place like Libya which has massive oil reserves and is the 17^th biggest oil producer in Africa, it also is almost the main producer for gas in Italy so if things go wrong many countries will end up with a loss unless they manage to get one of their “puppets” in charge which is most likely going to happen if General Gadafi leaves office, if this does happen it will be really interesting to see what will happen down the line in about sic to eighteen months time

Outline of content:

This article is about the civil war going on right now in Libya, it’s about General Col Muammar Gaddafi the leader/dictator of Libya and the rebel citizens of Libya who don’t want him as there leader, recently NATO (The North Atlantic Treaty Organization) has got involved saying there going to protect the Libyan citizens from there own leader, because now Gaddafi had drawn a “human” shield around him, so NATO has started shelling pro-Gaddafi supporters with tomahawks missiles, and now slowly but surely the rebels or as some call them “freedom fighters”.   

Gaddafi said he would leave if he could take his whole family and be able to live anywhere of his choice, he said that almost two weeks ago and nothing has changed other from NATO getting involved. Recently “a Libyan government convey has arrived for some “talks” with British authorities in London but the Foreign office has stated that all contact with Libyan officials, it has been made clear the “Gaddafi has to go”.
