@SebMilbank It was probably a lunatic as well (like with David Amess and Jo Cox).

Missouri Governor Christopher “Kit” Bond signs an executive order formally rescinding an 1838 law, Executive Order 44, that requires state milita to deport and kill Mormons in Missouri.

The law was known as the “Mormon Extermination Order,” and has been on the books up until today.

@USpiaggia Yeah but a failed actor in Brazil who’s declared himself head of a long dead dynasty he doesn’t have any clear connection to isn’t one of them.

Can’t be legitimist if you support obvious made-up claimants like this dude.

Holding Hands Forever

A magnificent brass lies in the church at Chrishall (Essex). It depicts Sir John and Lady Joan de la Pole (d.1379/80) holding hands beneath elaborate Gothic canopies - echoing their marriage vows in perpetuity.

They did so many things wrong.

Television is introduced in South Africa for the very first time, more than 25 years after it was introduced in most industrialized nations, as the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) begins transmitting.

The first program broadcast is the 1973 ITV documentary The World at War.

SABC will only broadcast five hours each day, from 7 PM to midnight, and half of the programming will be in English and the other half will be in Afrikaans.

South Africa did not have television until now because Prime Minister Jon Vorster was personally opposed to the idea of television.
