Well 2011 certainly started with a bang in more ways than one London , Sydney and many other places had fireworks screaming across the Sky's in celebration of the new year.
Once that had happened and maybe even while it was happening in some places Egypt felt the raft of Al-qaeda when a bomb exploded outside a church killing 21 people who had been inside during mass , afterwards apparently the Christians went on to what was described in early reports a riot and was very unusual as they attacked a local mosque in revenge.
Elsewhere Ford open prison was the subject of a riot and in the riot the prisoners tried to burn parts of the prison , some parts where alight and are now wrecked.
Early reports suggested that the prisoners rioted because the officers wanted to do breathalyser tests on them but they didnt want it to happen , The question would be if they had been found to be drunk or over the limit what would the have done as someone suggested to me earlier.
Also staff shortages were to blame for the lack of control - Is this due to the Government cuts or just normal ?? There are some things like prison wardens and police that shoul djust be left well alone as they are needed.
The link below is a link to a story about an Iranian woman how had been sentenced to death by stoning who is now sueing 2 german reporters for interviewing her so - she has been got at and is now keeping to a well organised script- apparently the 2 jurnolists entered the country on the wrong visa's to interiew people

In keeping with the bad news a story titled the last curly wurly has been made in Britain - Yes Kraft that took over Cadbury which was funded by the RBS which is publically owned so we are told , becuase we the public bailed them out has made its last bar of chocolate over here and the bars will now be made in eastern europe so the European union is doing a good job of ruining England and Britain with red tape , immigration controls that do not actually exist and killing off our industry.
Personally i think the banks should have been left to rot as tehy have almost come a full circle and are going back to how they were , saying that many people would have been hurt by losing money which is never good.
Else where the new year will see petrol rise by almost 7 pence a litre in the first few weeks of the year , VAT will also increase and you can expect people with mortagage's to feel the pain when the intrest rates begin to rise again and remember they should peak at 5% this year according to what i read late last year so thats not good unless you have some savings and you should get some return on your money.
The Archbishop Dr Rowan Williams has said that people of all faiths should have a look at the king James Bible and that it could have a role to play in todays big society
OTHER NEWS
Tonight sees the 5th and final test of the Ashes which England have actually secured already as we already hold them and a draw will mean we keep them , but a victory which should happen and we will come home clear winners , it was the first time we had won the Ashes in Australia in 24 years - although they may have other things on their minds with flooding of biblical proportions as it has been put - Ricky Ponting is out of the team with a broken finger the first Australian captain to lose the Ashes 3 times.
Thats really not a good thing to be remembered for is it , Its a bit like Barack Obama he will be remembered as the president but it will be cus he was the first black president of the country , which is ashame cus he could have done so much , but the mid term elections have made sure he can not do anything really.
David Beckham is coming home even if it is for 2 months he said about a week ago that he would only play for Manchester United if he played in England , but now it is almost 100% certain he will play for Tottenham and could face united in a few weeks time.
Well thats it if you have any comments please do post.
