What is British Socialism?

British Socialism, is the political ideology of having a socialist state, however far more liberal and emocratic, than the USSR was, for example. We still have a socialist govenment in the UK (The Labour Party) The philiOSophy is about raising tha standart of life for all, creating a fair and equal society and developing the nation. Socialism in the UK (As a developed country) is much easier to acheive, because the UK is a rich country which can pay for things like: -The NHS (Free health care for all). The UK was the first country to recognise that a human life is worth more than money, and declared that health treatments should be free. -The Department for Health and Social Security, deals (dealt) with unemplyed people and the poor. It provided them with houses, money to live on and other benefits such as- DLA (Disability living allowane)- Disabled people, due to their in ability to work are paid by the state. Child Benefit- Money you get when you have children to make it easier Maternity Grants- Money when you have a baby. The UK is also the only country in Europe, where the state owns more than 50% of housing. Housing associations and Council houses are provided to people who have low income.
