Everywhere we look at the moment there are stabbings, shootings; crimes all over our nation. This time when scrolling across the news I spot a miss use of trust by a teacher. This seems somewhat linked to the recent scandal which was shown on BBC 1's Waterloo Road showed when a teacher fell in love with a student in her class. That issue shown was not as bad as the Waterloo Road version as the female teacher was having sex with a over age student where as this one featured in today's news was a male who was having intercourse with a number of under age female teachers.

This article really did knock me back and wonder what actually goes on in this nation when it comes to child abuse within a misuse of trust. Please comment on what you think.

BBC: My Brother the Islamist
Last night on BBC Three at 9pm. The BBC broadcasted a program made by Rob Leech who was searching for answers for why his step brother Rich turned into a Islamist. The program shows how Rob's family have been affected by the dramatic changed Rich had gone under since he had moved to London. The program shows how the new life of Rich now known as Salahuddin has changed from how he used to behave and what his thought are now based around for his new life.
Salahuddin seemed to come across as a very stuck up personality when it come to people who were not Muslim. This did not always show that his believes towards the Western World were too radical though. This is proven when Salahuddin and his brothers are handing out leaflets in London and a drunk starts an argument with one of the brothers. When Salahuddin starts talking to the man, the drunk becomes very hostile towards him saying how Salahuddin's explanation of what he was doing was "bullshit". When watching this, this showed one of the reasons why so many people would convert to Islam if this was the life they had to put up with in the Western World. Although this was one of the many few areas I agreed with.
One part of the program which especially frustrated me personally was the protest which took place between Salahuddin's bothers and the English Defence League. I do not personally agree with either of these two parties when the soldiers were marching through the streets during the their return where they had lost men during their campaign. The main reasons why I disagreed with the way the protest was carried out was because; One the loved ones of the soldiers who were lost at war would have probably had to experience the amount of disrespect shown by both parties, Two the amount of abuse passed over the top of these soldiers as if they were only middle men and didn't matter. Three the protest could have been carried out in such a way they did not disrespect those who had lost their lives.
In this protest which had been shown Salahuddin made a speech about why he was standing in front of these people. This speech upset many people as he was obviously English and these soldiers had risks there life to fight for his freedom. I can understand the fact that he was upset about the British army fighting against people who are part of his religion but this kind of disrespect was not needed.

A new blog is born
Hello to all those who may stubble across my new blog however you may have found it. This blog is being created for me to show the people around me how the news and other topics that happen all around the world affect how we live our lives. This may involve us sterotyping and discriminating agianst people because of what we have seen on the news. This blog will also show how the media and turn people's eyes away from what we really want to see and how they can twist the news to help the people who they support.
This blog will feature many different issues ranging from petty crimes in the street and corner shops to huge headlines that are being broadcasting around the world. I would give some examples today in this introduction but I would want this section to stay era free and not seem too far out of date.
