UK government

The Government is led by the Prime Minister, who selects the other members of the Government. The government can be used to refer to all of the politicians who have been appointed by the monarch to help run government departments.  The Prime Minister and the other most senior Ministers belong to the supreme decision-making committee, known as the cabinet.
The Cabinet is one of the most important parts of Government. It's made up of 20 of the most important ministers. The cabinet meets once a week and takes decisions about new policies, the implementation of existing policies and the running of the various government departments. Because all government members must be seen to agree, exactly who says what at these meetings is a closely guarded secret. It is the much of the real decision-making takes places in cabinet committees.
In britain unlike much of western europ,normally has single-party government.In other words,all members of the government belong to the same political party.The habit of singlparty government has helped to establish the tradition known as collective responsibility.Traditionally,british politicians have regarded coalition government as a bad ideas.In some countries the central governments have powers only because the states have given them powers.In Britain it is the other way around.Local government authorities only hae powers because the central government has given them powers.The system of local government is very similar to the system of nationsl government.There are elected representatives,cllde councillors(the equivalent of MPs).

The Gunpowder Plot

On the 5th November, 1605 there was an attempt by a small group of English traitors to blow up the Houses of Parliament using barrels of gunpowder hidden in a cellar underneath that building.They wanted to kill King James and the king’s leaders.We commemorate that event, and the fact that it failed, each year on the anniversary with a festival called Bonfire Night.

Halloween

Halloween, celebrated each year on October 31, is a mix of ancient Celtic practices, Catholic  and Roman religious rituals and European folk traditions that blended together over time to create the holiday we know today. Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity and life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. Halloween has long been thought of as a day when the dead can return to the earth, and ancient Celts would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off these roaming ghosts. During the day, people celebrated with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils.
