Welcome to the British/Uk Affairs section where we discuss anything and everything regarding the United Kingdom.
Economically and politically bound to Europe and the EU, but distant from continental affairs, historically and now militarily tied to the US, but with a public ambiguous about America, Britain often finds itself at a crossroads.
From the royal family to the Labour Party, Parliament to the G8, the war on terror to political events and policies, we will try to bring you up-to-date, interesting and informative informations regarding the UK.
