China witnessed terrorist attacks in Xinjiang; Israel faced mass demonstrations
on rising cost of living; MP’s & members of the Lords prisoned for expenses
scandal; high profile figures in media and police being prosecuted for the
phone hacking scandal as well as highest level resignations; London lost a
Metropolitan Police Commissioner; London faced massive civil disorder, violence
between gangs & almost anarchy, (on a unprecedented scale that exceeded the
last one in about 1912); Dow Jones performed like Karachi Stock Exchange on a

Somewhere in the midst of all this we had the One Year to Go Celebrations for
the Olympics 2012; Great British Beer Festival; England beat India in the Test
