Sport hooliganism is bad, but not as bad as in Constantinople in 532. Chariot races had been regulated to teams for centuries, and four colours were strongest: blue, red green and white. By the time of 532, blue and green dominated. Emperor Justinian I favoured blue. In 531, some Blues and Greens supporters had been arrested for murder. They were hanged. But a Blue and a Green hid in a church begging sanctuary from an angry mob. Justinian was in a delicate phase of a peace treaty with Persia. Justinian was also taxing highly. Acting to minimise the damage, Justinian commuted the sentences of the two to imprisonment, but their supporters demanded a pardon. Justinian ordered that chariot races be run. On this day in 532, Justinian was in the safety of his viewer's box in the hippodrome for the race. But insults were hurled at him and riots broke out. Then some senators, who seemed motivated to oppose the high taxes and Justinian's alleged lack of respect for them promoted the previous emperor's nephew, Hypatius as the new emperor.
Justinian despaired and sought to flee, but his wife persuaded him to do the manly thing instead. She said she would rather die than lose her title. So Justinian hatched a plan with his generals and eunuch. The eunuch walked into the middle of the murderous mob in the Hippodrome and, talking to the Blues, mentioned Justinian was their supporter, and gave Blues leaders a bag of gold. The unity for Hypatius was lost .. Blues left the Hippodrome and the generals let troops in, killing thirty thousand rioters. Hypatius was executed. Half of Constantinople was in ruins and the Hagia Sophia had to be rebuilt. Not too dissimilar to a term of ALP government.
In 1547, Henry Howard, first cousin to Catherine Howard who had been beheaded for adultery on order of Henry VIII, was sentenced to death by the sickly king. Henry VIII feared Henry Howard had plans on usurping the throne from his son, Edward. Henry Howard's father was also sentenced to death, but Henry VIII died before the sentence was carried out. Henry Howard was executed on January 19th. His father remained in jail. Henry Howard is considered a founder of renaissance poetry, having created the sonnet.
In 1607, The Bank of Genoa failed after Spain was declared bankrupt. Not too dissimilar to a term of ALP Government. In 1842, Dr William Brydon, an assistant surgeon, became the sole survivor of 4500 men and 12000 camp followers when he staggered into the garrison at Jalalabad, Afghanistan. Years later it inspired Rudyard Kipling to write The Man Who Would be King. 1898, writer Émile Zola's J'accuse exposed the Dreyfus affair. In 1910, the first public radio broadcast was made of an opera. In 1939, the Black Friday bush fires of Australia claimed twenty thousand square kilometres and 71 lives. In 1942, Henry Ford presented a plastic automobile and Germany first used an ejector seat in an aircraft. In 1968, Johnny Cash performed in Folsom State Prison. In 2012, the Costa Concordia modelled ALP Government.
Reports are coming in former Queensland ALP leader and pedophile Keith Wright has died in Vietnam at age 72. Important to note the QLD ALP have not reformed since his leadership.

Waddle AGW alarmists think up next? Ice bound penguins means global warming according to (insert highly paid alarmist here). A certain drawing is the real deal, according to a former Christian who used to worship God, but now worships left wing theory. I've not been given the snorkel training that I may need to help me survive the warmest future. Some can bet their careers and never be held accountable. That and more articles are covered in today's report.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
Lorraine Allen Hider I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what it's like until they've been there. Keep heart David take care.
