Makeover British pockets Rivers of blood

In early April, Royal Mint, the Mint UK, unveiled the new designs soon decorate the backs of the coins circulation in the country and were chosen through public tender . I have not yet had in my hands, but seeing the images that are available on the internet my opinion is that new designs are great, elegant and very contemporary look. Much more beautiful that the euro coins, whose face is vulgar and tasteless common and national sides which generally do not show great aesthetic ambition (of course, not Spain).

New British coin designs have raised some controversy. Many Welsh people have been annoyed at not finding any symbol of your country in them. This is because the new coins are decorated exclusively with the British coat, which is not present any evidence of Wales itself. Previously, two-pence coins bore the Prince of Wales feathers and some pound coins were decorated with the dragon.

Others have lamented the disappearance Britannia, the country's female allegory whose presence in the English coins dating from the seventeenth century, and until now decorated the coins of 50 pence.

The speech was very controversial, and fulminant Powell was sacked from his post as defense minister in the shadow by Conservative leader Edward Heath. However, a large proportion of the population sympathized with their ideas, and received numerous expressions of support, including a dock strike, 1000 of which went to London to express their disagreement with his dismissal. Over the years, British political culture, Powell became the paradigm of xenophobic dark side of the country. Today, the figure only openly claimed by the extreme right.

Enoch Powell was a peculiar character. He had a great learning and prodigious intellectual capacity, which helped him to become professor of Greek at the University of Sydney with just 25 years. In World War II rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel. After his discourse again hold high position in the Conservative party.
