Looking at wikipedia I seeOne of my favourite ridiculous coincidences - any student of modern British politics knows that a key moment in the revival of the Liberals under the Liberal-SDP Alliance was the victory of S. Hughes in the Bermondsey by-election, 1981. If AH forums had existed in the 1970s, however, their members might have been discussing "What if the Liberal candidate, S.

andA presiding officer, George Thornley, was blinded in one eye in one of these attacks,
Only three months for blinding someone seems a bit lenient.The two suffragette protesters Alice Chapin and Alison Neilans, were sentenced to three months each in Holloway Prison
Suffragettes were very much the JSO of the 1900s in terms of a lot of people feeling the righteousness of their cause excusing what they did. Nobody even remembers that time they detonated a bomb to blow up the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey (though admittedly the outbreak of WW1 rather overshadowed it).Looking at wikipedia I see

Now that's quite the ship, if one may say so.While sailing the Mediterranean Sea in 1962, the American aircraft carrier USS Independence flashed the Amerigo Vespucci with the light signal asking: "Who are you?"

This is from Pope Francis's visit to Mongolia, but considering the general ecumenical attitudes of the OTL Mongol Empire that'd be required for anything on its scale to persist, having a Catholic ceremony for the soul of the Supreme Progenitor wouldn't be out of the question...
Is it just the hair and beard, or does the second one look like @Lord Roem to anybody else?
Wasn't that the name of the dragon in Dragonslayer?Special mention to Paris, doomed to be renamed "Abdelkader's Seraglio"
I have a timeline concept somewhere about the African Federation admitting Carribean states* and a war because the Dominican Republic didn't want Haiti to join.Kenyas ability to pacify Haiti is questioned
It's the party position, so she'd then be replaced by Maimane when she quit. If she actually did in such a timeline - and Ramaphosa would find Maimane resident in the Union Buildings when Zuma is recalled...View attachment 72921
Jacob Zuma and Helen Zille sharing a laugh.
If SA had kept its interim 1993 Constitution, where a party which won more than 20% of the vote was entitled to a Deputy President post, Zille could have been Zuma's deputy. I think about that a lot, ha ha.
Surely it didn't need to be the party leader, they could deploy anyone to the position if they like? Like when Motlanthe became Pres although Zuma was party leader (I know the circumstances were a bit different).It's the party position, so she'd then be replaced by Maimane when she quit. If she actually did in such a timeline - and Ramaphosa would find Maimane resident in the Union Buildings when Zuma is recalled...
