Our Weak and Wobbly Leader
Theresa May stated that there would be no general election repeatedly but then on Tuesday 18th, April 2017, she stood outside 10 Downing Street and announced that she was calling a general election, to take place on the 8th, June 2017. That was one of a few u-turns made by the prime minister of Great Britain, one other was the dementia tax that was proposed in the conservative manifesto but after the outrage it caused she backtracked and it never came to fruition.

On Your Bike Boris
Imagine you are in a foreign country and suddenly you find yourself arrested on charges that make no sense to you. You will undoubtedly feel scared and vulnerable. You could well find yourself in a rough jail or suffer maltreatment at the hands of the authorities for your alleged crimes. You need someone on your side, fighting your corner, and doing so intelligently and effectively. In the case of British citizens abroad, they should be able to rely on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to help them out with their case and make sure that they are being treated well during the legal process. It becomes an especially pressing and potentially delicate issue, requiring diplomatic skill, when the other country involved is viewed as very problematic in terms of human rights.

Dear Theresa, We're Human, Too
Before I begin, no, I’m not from the UK. I’m from the U.S. where human rights and freedom plays an important role in our country. Despite the fact that my family was from the Middle East, Turkey to be exact, they’ve all come to the United States to gain the freedom they couldn’t have back in their country. Since I’m first generation here, I couldn’t be any more thankful to live in such a great country and gain human rights to be myself.

Dear Theresa M. May...
There's a slight possibility that you've lost touch with your congenial side. Similar to someone I know, your citizens have begun to make a mockery of you and all justifications that come with your murky rhetoric. The people are concerned you lack the comprehension of empathy, which is necessary in the vicious battle between law and morality.
