    At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution the British government did not impose any restrictions on business practices - this was called 'laissez-faire'.

    As time went by and children were being maimed and killed while working for a pittance and parents were unemployed, society began to wake up and government began to intervene introducing public education policies, child labour laws, minimum wage and labour legislation among others.

    i do no longer hate the united states of a and as a British individual, i replaced into disgusted with what my government did to Iraq and Afghan. although I do think of that my usa could desire to pay interest with the aid of itself issues and not shop on with others to wars that may not benefit everybody long term. i do no longer think we ever had a particular dating aside from the undeniable fact that my government acted like lapdogs for years and that i assume most of the British all human beings is ill of that! I extremely have travelled to many places and been asked why the united kingdom is like usa of america's domestic dog, it is barely some human beings's techniques btw. the hassle is that some human beings on YA tend to generalise too lots and think of that in basic terms because of fact one Brit dislikes the united states of a, it means they're all to blame of it. I extremely have seen that some human beings on right here in basic terms dislike all people who isn't from their usa although they're basically a small factor of the international's inhabitants and should no longer be taken actually. i'm hoping that the united kingdom and usa has a reliable dating of equivalent fee as we the two have lots to grant without being the international's police. Peace and international kin are the techniques forward inspite of the undeniable fact that for all the international and not conflict and hate and xenophobia!
