The debate is often made that politics is rapidly becoming unpopular, unattractive and is ultimately shown to be out of favour with the masses, and this can be said to be reflected upon, and arguably due to, the traditional political parties in Great Britain.

The Great Fire of London was easily one of the worst fires mankind has ever seen causing large scale destruction and terror.
