Union Jack and Welsh flag

The Union Jack is ordered design by  King James VI of Scotland inherited the throne of England.
And this flag was integration of his three territories's flags.

However, at that time, the wales always is the England's territory.
In the history, the Wales always is the territory of the United Kingdom Prince.

So, every time the people always called the prince are the Prince of Wales.
For example, nowadays, the Prince Charles is The Prince of Wales.

Pensions and retirement planning

Firstly, we will talk about that what is the State Pensions.

The State Pensions is the people can get money when they were retire.

And it is gives people a regular income for the rest of their life.

In China, there have a same policy.

Every people must to buy three insurance is provided for Chinese policy.

And three insurance is Pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance.

In China, the pension insurance was paid by the units and employees.
The units was pay 20% of total wages for every mouth.
The employees were pay 7% of monthly salary.

And I think the pension insurance is a minimum security of city life.

It can help people have a income when they are retirement.

Newspaper

The tabloid always like a regular magazine,

and the tabloid's content just talk about some interesting news and famous people's gossipy.

However, the broadsheet is looks like a normal newspaper,

and it's content always talk about the current political news and important news on the world.

I like the tabloid.

Because I like to know some interesting things,

and it always can lead the people happy.

Monarchy

Many years ago, in the world all the country have the Royal.

Ok, it’s in addition to the United States.

But nowadays, the Britain’s system of government is different from the other countries.

For example,

Many years ago, there have the Royal in China.

And the emperors ruled China about 5,000 years of history.

But nowadays, who has the Royal lineage, we don’t know.

Nowadays, in UK. The present monarch, Elizabeth II, has reigned since 6 February 1952.

“She and her immediate family undertake various official, ceremonial and representational duties.

As a constitutional monarch, the Queen is limited to non-partisan functions such as bestowing honors, dissolving Parliament and appointing the Prime Minister.”

From (Wikipedia)

I think the Queen and the Royal is tradition or culture.

They don’t have any political rights.

But now, they have become an indispensable symbol of the UK.

Nowadays, the UK has the royal family.

It’s must be some reasons.

So, I think, the royal family is an integral part of the UK.

And there have some picture to prove my point.

It has been integrated into all aspects of the UK.

Educational policy in UK

The government has pushed plans to allow universities to charge up from

£3,290 to£9,000 every year.

Universities wanting to charge more than £6,000 would have to undertake measures,

such as offering bursaries, summer schools and outreach programmed,

to encourage students from poorer backgrounds to apply.

The government will continue loan to students the fees. 

And the graduates have to start paying their loans would be raised from

£15,000 to £21,000.

Welsh students will be protected from increased tuition fees, the Welsh Assembly Government says.

Education Minister Leighton Andrews made the commitment as he outlined Wales' response to the UK government's plan to increase fees in England.

In Wales, basic tuition fees will rise to £6,000 per annum, or £9,000 in some circumstances.

But the assembly government will meet the cost of extra fees for students from Wales attending any UK university.

In a statement to the Senedd chamber, Mr Andrews said: "In other words, the increase in fees for Welsh domiciled students, whether they study in England or Wales or Scotland or Northern Ireland, will be paid by the Welsh Assembly Government.

"Welsh domiciled students will not have to find either £6,000 or £9,000 to study.

"The public purse will continue to subsidise higher education for Welsh domiciled students.

"Welsh students who go to university in 2012-13 will be paying the same in real terms as students who go to university in this academic year."

"I believe that the arrangements we've put in place are both fair, equitable and sustainable," he added.
