CNN STUDENT NEWS – February 10, 2012 is a post from: Discovery Falklands

Well Darlings,

It has been a bad week for the UK, but of late: what’s new? The FIFA result, where only one other country voted for us, came as no surprise to me. It was never going to be about football, just like now the Eurovision Song Contest is never about the singer or the song. Today it is all about what some people think of others, and the benefits they gain by doing so.

To add to our misery, and as proof of how poor our education system has become, we have the case of a teacher sending an email containing fourteen spelling and grammatical errors to a parent, ironically only days after the Education Secretary, Michael Gove, said more emphasis needed to be placed on good spelling and grammar. We have had the WikiLeaks damning our politicians of both main persuasions, and revealing just about what everyone really thinks of everyone else. Perhaps inflicting the most pain is what the world and its partner think about the quality and usefulness of British troops. President Hamid Karzai, Afghan officials, and the US commander of NATO troops suggesting our boys and girls were “not up to the task” of securing the southern province of Helmand, and that the job would be better given to the US, really smarts! In my mind, it only adds weight to the question: what the hell are we doing there?

A lot is made of ‘diplomacy’, but I’ve never been a great fan of it. If you’ll pardon the expressions in this overly politically correct age, I prefer to put my cards on the table, and call a spade a spade. I don’t find buttering up to others, and telling countless untruths, just so a meeting may be called a success and everyone is able to smile for the official photograph, of any use whatsoever. All it does is hide the wounds, leaving them to fester away unnoticed by the public eye.

With WikiLeaks revealing what others truly think of us, perhaps it would be a good time to re-evaluate who really are our friends and allies, and make some radical changes. Sadly, those we can depend on won’t number many today. For far too long, under ‘the special relationship’, we have jumped every time the US has asked, but why? What are we getting out of this arrangement? A few cheap bombs that we dare not use, perhaps? Or is it simply a hope of being safe by standing next to the playground bully? To my mind, this relationship is too one-sided. Did the US jump for us when the Falkland Islands were invaded, and British lives threatened? No, I didn’t see any feet leave the ground! And recent comments by Hillary Clinton tell me nothing has changed – the US wouldn’t help us were it to happen again! Did France, a nation we shall be relying on to assist us in our defence for the foreseeable future, come to our aid then in our hour of need? No, they backed the other side, and made a great deal of noise about doing so!

Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against the people of the US or France, the two examples of many I could have used here, I like the people – it is just that I don’t always trust, or believe in, the policies of their governments. The Suez crisis should have taught the UK everything it needed to know about its capabilities, and friendship, but it wasn’t listening. It still had the victory bells of World War II ringing in its ears, and they were so loud it couldn’t hear: half the world believed Audie Murphy had won the war, and he was a Yank! Maybe they were right, because we couldn’t have done it alone, but was the US really fighting for us and our freedoms? No, sadly it wasn’t, not until it realised its own freedoms would be under threat if we fell.

Standing next to the playground bully does not serve this country well. We need to find another role in the world!

There are plenty of cruise bargains and websites offering excellent cruise deals all year round. Outlined below are some of the great destinations with the best times to take a bargain cruise to some of the most wonderful places in the world. Discount cruises are a great way to see European cities of culture, the Alaskan wilderness, the remote Falklands, Cape Verde Islands or a selection of Caribbean islands. The choice is yours and the list is endless!

Mediterranean Cruise Bargains

Visiting the historic cities of Europe is a wonderful experience but it can be expensive. The roads are busy, hotels are expensive and packing and unpacking as you tour can be stressful. Discount cruises to the Mediterranean avoid all these problems as your ship carries you overnight from one wonderful city to the next while you relax, dine in style and get a good night’s sleep. Open the curtains on a new day and a new adventure, be it Venice, Corfu or Monte Carlo. Mediterranean cruises are most popular from May to September and the ships then relocate to the Caribbean for the winter sunshine.

Caribbean Cruise Deals

Last minute cruise bargains to the Caribbean are the best way to see this idyllic part of the world if you don’t have your own luxury yacht! Most cruises are based in Miami, Fort Lauderdale or San Juan on Puerto Rico with plenty of cheap flights available. There are many different Caribbean cruise deals so you never need repeat the same itinerary twice. From delightful Key West and the Bahamas to colourful Jamaica and the upmarket Cayman Islands there are many cruise ports to enjoy. Activities are equally diverse with snorkeling and diving trips, beaches, historic towns, waterfalls, rainforests, markets and historic homes which can all be enjoyed on shore excursions from your cruise ship.

Hawaiian Cruises

Get to see not one but all four main Hawaiian Islands in one holiday with a great cruise deal. 15-day cruises sail out of San Francisco, Ensendad in Mexico or Vancouver. Shorter cruises simply circumnavigate the main Hawaiian Islands of Oahu, Big Island, Kauai and Maui. There are cruise bargains to be had at any time, as Hawaii enjoys tropical temperatures and sunshine all year round. Onboard entertainment will include Hawaiian theme nights. Trips ashore to attend a traditional luau will include grass-skirted dancers, drumming, fire knife dancing and floral leis will be distributed.

Norwegian Cruise Bargains

Cruise bargains up the Norwegian Fjords on mail boats are a wonderful way to discover this unspoilt region in the summer. Old ports such as Bergen have cobbled streets and quaint shops. Christmas cruises are offered by some companies and are truly magical with horse drawn sleigh rides, carols in historic wooden stave churches and fabulous smorgasbord meals making this a truly memorable trip.

Alaskan Cruises

Cruises to Alaska have a short season from May to September. It is almost impossible to find a bargain cruise in July and August to this popular destination but the shoulder months usually have some last-minute cruise deals. Prepare to see spectacular natural sights, glaciers, wildlife and remote communities as well as the Midnight Sun. September onwards is the best time to see the spectacular Aurora Borealis, colourful dancing lights in the night sky.

As you can see, almost every island and continent can be explored from a cruise and it does not have to cost the earth. Start searching for your cruise bargain today and make a start on your world travels!

As you might have guessed, the Isle of Scilly is very popular among tourists. However, many people who visit actually come from UK or Europe. The Isle actually produces 85 percent of its income off the people who visit. People want to come because the environment is so favourable. It basically has an extended summer and the culture is definitely more relaxed. When you do visit, you can travel through The Isle easily using the transport links. 
 
If you need somewhere to stay there are a couple of different options. A lot of people stay on St.

Mary’s. There you will find great holiday accommodations and a lot of amenities. Tresco is another option for your stay. It is run as a timeshare and a lot of tourists stay here. The cottages here are amazing and you will get every accommodation you need. If you want to stay on Bryher or St. Martin’s there are some hotels there. St. Agnes, however, is not very developed so you will not find options for your stay there. 
 
Once you get to the Island of Scilly, what are you going to do? Think of it like a retreat from reality. Many people like to fish and boat on Silly’s beautiful waters. However, some people prefer to just relax in the sun. The island definitely holds so much beauty. You will want to spend some time and see it. Walk around and explore. You will see the beautiful flowers and coastline. It will amaze you and you might consider relocating permanently to the island. 
 
Plan your trip to the Isle of Scilly today. It really is one of the most incredible places to visit in all of England. If you have not seen it yet, you are missing out. And, if you have already been, the Isle of Scilly is waiting for your return.
