The end of the Soviet Union began on this date 35 years ago, far from Berlin or Moscow.
(From 2021) A few days ago was the 60th anniversary of the building of the Berlin Wall. But let's instead celebrate the 32nd anniversary of the event that made its fall inevitable: the Pan-European Picnic on the Austro-Hungarian border.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
