Problem with Olympic tickets for people of Britain.

This blog illustrates why British sports fans are unable to get tickets of Olympic 2012.
Many of the British sports fans are unable to get ticket for Olympic 2012 which will be held in London, UK. This is because 150000 tickets had been sent overseas and not only the ticket but the whole match has been sold. This was happened when international bidders took over the ballot set up which was for British sports fans.
This was not good with the British people because they are a host of this Olympic 2012. This factor not seems fair to the people of Britain. People who had played not a good role in it are mostly who belongs from the EU because they had used both of the chances whether to get ticket from the distributed tickets for other countries or to get ticket from the ballot which had held for the UK.
In conclusion, British people have much more rights than other to become a part of this Olympic as a spectator.

Crime and Punishment

 Crime means the factor which goes against the law or in other words the factor which is illegal is crime. Punishment is given by a government or head of organization to the people who do crime. In UK the most common crimes are joy-riding, juvenile it is a crime which is mostly done by the young people. It is not only common in the UK but it is common in an individual hometown as well.
The best way to deal with joy-riding and vandalism are community service and rehabilitation. The political activists have no right to break the law because the low set up for all society level. These types of crime makes not good views for the people who are came from the other country to visit or to live. The UK government is so strict with the people who drink and drive because this thing is not fair with the people who are sincere with the law and when people drink and drive it may be danger for the others safety. The main question is that smoking cannabis is a criminal offence? Yes it is in public place.
In conclusion, laws of the UK is so organized which is totally against to any sort of crime.

Advantages and disagvantages of EU.

Firstly, About Advantages . The most considerable advantag is high reduction of war probablilty. All European countries entering the E.U. are bound to restrictions that are favorable to their economy and development. A European currency that reduces monetary instability. Europeans can move around freely within the European Union and therefore seek for jobs in other countries due to this they would not remain a jobless.
Now about disadvantages. Reduction of soverinety when European Institutions ask countries to give some of their souvereign powers to the E.U. which doesn't always benefit to every country.
