Few words on Woolwich.

It has been seven days since the barbaric attack and slaying of Lee Rigby (- a Drummer in the 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers). Everybody to everyone - young and old has had their say, thoughts, and opinions. This has been and are put forward and shared.

Since the expansion of social media networks and with 24hr News, there has been a marked transition in the reporting of said “news”. What used to be “dogs winning talent shows” has quickly spiraled into “pensioner killed by dogs - armed police destroy the animal at the scene”, “man shot in pub in Croydon”, “youth arrested by armed officers in Birmingham”.

In short, the news is now full of murder, stabbings, kidnap and all manner of horrific events And yet, in the same breath I read about British citizens claiming retribution, and targeting Muslims and mosques and all manner of ethnic groups in retaliation for what the media are dubbing as a terrorist activity, an opinion that is gaining credence daily, especially in light of the French soldier stabbing which followed shortly afterwards.

There have been race riots in Stockholm, Sweden as Arab and Islamic youths have been fighting against integration. Back here in England, the English Defence League and other ultra-nationalist groups have taken to the streets to protest radical Islam and the failed multicultural state.

These are terrible events, no doubt. For the family of Lee Rigby, you could forgive them the anger, the hot-blooded reaction and the call for revenge against a faceless enemy, yet to be held legally accountable. Nobody would deprive them of their right to fight back, to lash out, upon the truly evil perpetrators of this heinous crime.

The Prime Minister already backed up against the ropes by the UK Independence Party and other far right conservative back benchers, has been driven even further to the right, and has sworn to gag those responsible for radicalisation. And, in a shocking poll, the English people now support the re-establishment of the death penalty for those who commit acts of terror.

Most of us in the West have the privilege of never experiencing this enemy. Thus, as the time between attacks widens, words like ‘terrorist’ and ‘terrorism’ begin to grate on the eardrums. ‘Where are these terrorists?” People ask. Eventually, this evolves into a cynicism that our government’s are crying ‘wolf’ for their own political gains. Ironically, at the end of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, there really was a wolf.

While I find the encroachment upon our civil liberties in the Age of Terror troubling, and keep an eye on them at all times, their benefits are not up for dispute. There have been 41 failed, aborted or foiled terrorist attacks in Britain since 9/11 and 7/7.

In Islam: between reformists and reactionaries; moderates and fanatics, there’s a war of words (and bloodshed), which has been raging since the split between Sunni and Shi’ite over a thousand years ago. Countless lives have been lost during it.

Nobody chooses where they are born, or how they are raised. We can only influence generations to come, and if we teach them to react to violence with misguided vengeance, we will destroy ourselves from within.

As the world is getting smaller. Within the next ten years we’ll see sub-orbital flights making London to Australia in three hours possible. With this kind of technological advancement, the world is shrinking exponentially. Surely global equality and tolerance is the only future we have.

It comes down to the fact that this sad event – the loss of a husband, son, father and friend – is being overshadowed by these racist and sectarian displays. Instead of a community being united in mourning for the death of a young man, people seem to think that this violent act justifies their ignorance and prejudice. It does not. No religion is perfect, this much is true, and not all followers of these faiths are good people.

Sony Xperia S Jelly Bean rollout.

I all got excited late last week when the Sony Mobile France social team said that the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for the Xperia S (LT26i) was rolling out. Obviously, that didn’t pan out and I’ve not heard from anyone downloading the latest update.

Well now - today, Sony Mobile Germany social team has confirmed that their French colleagues were mistaken and that the JB update for the Xperia S has not started yet. Whilst the news might be disappointing to some, at least we can stop running around like headless chickens trying to figure out who has updated and instead wait for hard evidence of the rollout. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait too much longer for some firm news on the matter.

Manchester United.

Fergie is finally gone. And while everyone who supports a team other than Manchester United is still celebrating, here’s an article by a friend giving his perspective on Alex Ferguson’s glittering career.

CHANGING OF THE GUARD.

“Sir Alex Ferguson’s 26 years at the helm of Manchester United is one of the most remarkable feats in the history of football.

There are others who have managed clubs for longer, but none could compare trophy cabinets with the Glaswegian. He has built an empire at Manchester United that has dominated the English footballing landscape for 20 years.”
