As a U.S. citizen How should I prepare adequately to grant entry to the UK for 6 months?
I'm wanting to stay in the UK for 6 months as a visitor with my boyfriend. If anyone could offer any advice on how to prepare??? for me through immigration successfully when you reach England, I would be very grate full. I have heard many horror stories about things that can go wrong, so I feel the need for concise instructions about how to do well. Details about me: Iam 19. Currently work only temporarily, I am a lifeguard and this is just a summer job, I'm planning on going to United Kingdom in late July and August. I am not a student anymore and I get very worried and nervous about something wrong with my trip to the UK.
1) You must have ticket return. 2) Have letter from BF (or their parents, who owns and rents the place) that can live there. 3) You must have sufficient funds to support urself. 4) You must have insurance Medical and travel for the period of stay. 5) Must be able to convince that after the (granted) will stay the UK to return to the U.S..

How should the government address the problem of aging population and continued immigration?
if: a. reduce population due to net migration – for example, represent the annual quotas on the number of immigrants allowed into the UK and Emigration encourange. B. support the continuous immigration of people to work with the skills needed in the UK for example by allowing immigrants with skills that enable them to fill the vacancies in the UK to settle. C. increased provision of facilities for the elderly for example, investments in health care such as homes nursing and financial assistance, such as pensions and travel passes d. encourage people to work the past for example, change the law retirment age to continue working over 65 years in many jobs. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each option and should the government do to combat the problem of aging population and the high immigration rates …??
I suspect that many people really not realize what a problem that is becoming and will continue to be for our children. The population is aging, which is putting pressure on doctors, pensions, social care etc. throughout the country (and the world West in general). The policy part of the policy (the poor in my opinion) is to allow virtually uncontrolled immigration. This means that in the young, the workers paying taxes to help fund our systems. However, many of these to settle and live to old age and therefore not really help. Radical measures you need: increase the retirement age to 70 immediately, both for men and women. In 10 years time increases again to about 72 / 73, and a greater increase in 20 years to 75. Force saving for private pensions, making the automatic deduction of 10% of the salary of a pension plan. Employees can control where it invests. People are living longer due to the costly and life prolonging medical advances. The company is struggling to do so and perhaps we should look not to intervene natures in the course of both when it comes to aging? It sounds cruel, but this world is becoming overpopulated, and with the world based on the reduction of resources and natural foods are a major problem for 50 to 100 years after the line. Add to this land mass caused by reduced sea level rises then we will fight to feed our old and needy ….

London to Scotland?
Ok. I'll be visiting London for the first time in July … Me and my friend has decided on a day trip to Scotland. Actually, do not know how to move. I'm not even sure what city in Scotland want to go. We're more in the castles, culture, etc. tourist area, not so super. Now my question is our address for our hotel in London is: Best Western Victoria Palace 60-64 WARWICK WAY London, England SW1 V1SA, Britain and I'm not sure which train station to book our tickets. I'm not sure what that is closer. We take the train to Scotland … but what city? Would love some ideas! Thanks
Take the underground to Kings Cross Station and then catch the Flying Scotsman 1000 AM GNER train to Edinburgh. Time to get to Edinburgh, is approximately 4 hours on this train. You can also catch a train from Euston Sleeper which departs at around midnight and arrives at 8 am. Edinburgh is the castle of Edinburgh, who is built on top of an extinct volcano. It is also the residence of the royal family when they get there. Edinburgh is Scotland's Glasgow's history tends to be more industrial. But he said that the two cities are quite close and a little out of Glasgow is Glencoe, the location of the slaughter of Glencoe, and also a picturesque area. Whichever city you choose to prepare for rain. I swear by it always rains in Scotland
