On this day

in 1914, Women suffragettes in Britain turned violent. They set fire to the Lawn Tennis Club and broke windows at the residence of the Home Secretary. I suppose that would make them torrorists now.

and,

in 1972 Patliament voted to join the Common Market. If only they'd been honest with us about what "ever closer union" really meant.
