All To Be Held At Mere Discretion

I had forgotten about this, and would therefore like to thank A Few Words Before We Go for reminding me that all democrats should raise a glass tonight, if only to fortify themselves for the doubtlessly lengthy struggle ahead. Vive La Revolution!

Wikipedia's account of the restoration is OK on the royalist side, but omits to mention the existence of the "Calves-Head Club", which met on 30 Jan to commemorate the execution of the Man of Blood by burning a symbolic head on a bonfire. It was still going in 1735, a fine tradition which ought to be reinstated.
