    Work place of the UK'S first ever criminal prime minister, a notorious catfish This is a stunning building and wonderfully preserved interior. A grand monument to by gone era of celebrated democracy. Sad it's currently under siege by conmen. Force Tories to change by not supporting them presently..

    People inside this building make absurd laws. Privatization of education is one of them. I have taken biology and chemistry exams twice, with different exam boards, because it was my intention to study biomedical science. I studied hard for many hours a day every day to obtain excellent grades and performed well in every exam but I was awarded no grades (Us). Two months after taking exams, students are all awarded Us. Exam boards state that the person who viewed the answers made a mistake. They say that another person must view the answers to award them the right grades. They steal students’ money by stating that answers must be viewed many times. The word “review” is used to hide the fact that grades are awarded in exchange of money. Exam boards sell grades because they are private commercial companies. The more money they receive, the better students’ grades will be. Despite their huge profits, they are registered as charities to dodge taxes. Grades should have been included in the expensive fees I had paid to sit exams. Students have to pay expensive exam fees to take exams because further education is monopolized by private commercial companies. I was awarded two Us because I did not buy grades. Although I proved universities that grades are sold, they adamantly refused to accept me. It is evidence that universities’ admission departments and exam boards work together. If students do not buy grades, they are not accepted. A few people study biology and chemistry at A-Level because it is very expensive to buy grades in these subjects. As a result, the NHS has a chronic shortage of personnel. Poaching doctors from poor nations is unethical and it is not the solution to this problem. The government privatized education to save money but it pays for students’ tuition fees. This is a paradox. If the government owned sixth form colleges and universities, it would save a lot of money. Additionally, the NHS would not have a chronic shortage of medical staff because studious people, indigenous and foreigners, would attend British medical schools. Moreover, doctors would not misdiagnose diseases. Universities are private institutions (de facto). A university degree costs £9,250 because the government does not own universities. They are considered public institutions (de jure) because the government pays for students’ university fees. Medicine and dentistry are the most expensive courses. For this reason, the government limits places in medical schools (numerus clausus). If the government owned universities, numerus clausus would be useless. If there were no numerus clausus in medical schools, the NHS would not have a chronic shortage of doctors. Rich people only can buy 3 As in order to enroll in medical schools. UCAT exams are managed by private commercial companies. Admission to medical school is based on money only, not on knowledge and mental skills. Unfortunately, private education has a detrimental effect on people’s health and lives. The NHS has to pay billions of pounds every year in compensation because private education produces incompetent doctors. If education were nationalized, the NHS would save billions of pounds as doctors would not misdiagnose diseases. Furthermore, “mickey mouse degrees” would disappear. I think that European universities do not accept British A-Levels because they are issued by private commercial companies. In the other European nations, there are no exam boards because academic certificates are awarded by sixth form colleges themselves on behalf of governments. If A-Levels were public qualifications, the logo of the government (Dieu et mon droit) would appear on certificates. I am not the only person complaining about the fact that education is monopolized by private entities. There is no meritocracy if education is private. Meritocracy is in public institutions only.

    Very run-down and in need of updating, but enough about our prime minister...

    A nice building holding less historical heritage than I originally thought, however. The original house, built in late-medieval Britain can be easily found and seen on google today. However this burned down, and was promptly reconstructed. You can see this new building after a more specific google search. Then the WWII came along and the House of Commons was destroyed. It was, again, reconstructed; this time with the help of resources from the Commonwealth of Nations.

    Went a few summers ago. Would be 5 star but had a lot of scaffolding in the entrance area. Apart from that staff all friendly and helpful. The place is dripping with history as you would expect! You can walk right up to the stand where the PM speaks and all the MPs. Looks smaller in real life! The audio guide is worth it.

    Full of people who want to divide and conquer. Absolutely disgraceful. I thought this was supposed to be a democracy. The PM and Suella coming from ethnic minority backgrounds are absolutely disgusting. Most people are sickened by your policies and we cant wait to get rid of you. How dare you support genocide and aid occupying aparthied state. You cannot stop the voice of the people. We want peace!

    The UK's House of Commons, as the lower house of Parliament, facilitates democratic discourse through diverse MP representation. Despite occasional confrontational debates, it plays a crucial role in shaping national policies.

    We had a tour, and our guide was very informative. Our MP met us at the end and said a few kind words and showed us around the chapel. We all had a lovely morning.

    'Say' or 'not to say' Who knew, about 250K years ago, vocal strings will be in use, in the style which we are observing nowadays.

    What a brilliant place of history and power. If you get the chance to visit and be taken for a meal in the stranger's dinning room. Then go .you won't regret it.

    A fantastic building of super high importance to United Kingdom. I went here couple of times to discuss UK Government's policies and agenda towards regulating and integrating blockchain and distributed ledger technologies. The building is full of history inside and when you walk in the public parts there are the graves of monarchs of the times past under the floor. It is quite a surreal feeling.

    Beautiful architecture.
