97 years since England had a winter election, that was brought up right away. I'd assume this vote will be remembered for many, many years indeed! You started out with the 2010 protests but went on about other things, that was the one I had been talking about. Then Christmas reminded me of the winter election. Brexit always seems to come up for some reason.

On this day 1990: Aramoana massacre, New Zealand.

David Gray shoots dead 13 people before being tracked down and killed by

A number of local school children were amongst the dead and wounded.
