One of the biggest problems that NHS faced today is expensive treatments. Expensive treatments can be affect the public and employee. For example, the rare of doctor and the get paid less. Secondly, the government use NHS as political ball. Thirdly, lack of funding cause to cut nurses and other staffs jobs and that affect the patient. Also, long waiting lists. Many people complain from staff shortages and that because of lack of funding. Some people issue that the main problem not the lack of funding but the funding that available is spent in the wrong way.

Crime and Punishment


Death penalty

I think should exist as a punishment for murder or terrorism to stop them. Also, I believe the main point of person is to rehabilitation and help the prisoner to back in the right way.

Joy-riding, vandalism and graffiti

 The best way to deal with joy-riding, vandalism and graffiti are community service and rehabilitation. The political activists have no right to break the law because the law set up for all society level. People who drink and drive can be major dangers to the society and cause death and accidents so the law has to be very strict on them.

Homeless right

The police should have no right to stop and search people without warrant. Some people suggest the law should respect homeless people right to squat. On the other hand, some people see it is not right. The main question is smoking cannabis criminal offence? Yes, if it 
is in public. No, if it is in previous place.

Finally, the most common issue in my country is social security fraud.
