Talk:2011 in the United Kingdom

News
Has anyone else noticed that this article is full of minor news items, many of which could hardly be considered historically important, which is the basis for this article? DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 01:41, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Certainly all the "figures reveal" items could go, and that story about Ashley Cole, which really is minor news. There is a guy who had a phase of adding opinion polls which I kept removing, but that seems to have stopped. I'm probably guilty of adding one or two minor events myself, but I do try to pick the stuff I feel gets major coverage. I guess it's a matter of opinion on what each individual regards as major news. Do you have any suggestions as to what other items we could remove? TheRetroGuy (talk) 22:46, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Removed a few items and reposted them here in case anybody objects and wants to reinstate them. TheRetroGuy (talk) 14:09, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Removed items on 2 May 2011

 * 25 January - Statistics reveal that the UK economy contracted by 0.5% during the final quarter of last year.
 * 15 February - It is announced that CPI annual inflation rate rose to 4% in January, up from 3.7% in December, more than double the Government target and its highest since November 2008. The RPI figure rose to 5.1% from 4.8%.
 * 27 February - It is reported that Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole accidentally shot a 21-year-old man with an air rifle.


 * The first thing is relevant enough to include: unexpected economic contraction interrupting the recovery. Jim Michael (talk) 20:41, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually yes, thinking about it, particularly as it's mentioned later on. I'll put it back if you haven't already done so. Cheers TheRetroGuy (talk) 22:25, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
