40% in favour, yes, in 2022, but a vast majority of non-Tory voters opposed and one in three Tories opposed it. So they'd lose more voters than they gained. They could get it slightly over 50% by going emotive about child killers (because I don't think most would piss on Huntley for example) but my opinion is that Sunak bringing that up during a campaign would be seen as exploitative and backfire.

I’m surprised she put up with the cunt for so long. Horrible man.

Rena Venieri is a hit for arghton.

Edmund I of England died on this day 1078 years ago, aged 26. - Edmund was a son of king Edward ("The Elder"), who died when he was about 4 years old. His older brother Athelstan would be Edward's successor, and Edmund himself would succeed him after he died without an heir in 939. - Edmund's reign was largely defined by pushing back against Viking advances in the British Isles, and would regain English land in the north following the death of Olaf Guthfrithson in 941. He would also seize York from the Vikings in 944. - Edmund would also issue legal reform during his rule, which included controlling blood feuds by having the murderer pay the victim's family, and ordering local communities to assist tracking down farmers' livestock stolen by rustlers. - Edmund was killed while fighting a thief at a feast celebrating Augustine of Canterbury; some historians may believe this could have been a politically-charged assassination. Edmund would be succeeded as king by his brother Eadred.

Richard M. Sherman, one of the incredibly prolific songwriting duo "The Sherman Brothers" (alongside his late older brother Robert, who passed away aged 86 in 2012) is 95 in June is definitely thread-worthy. With his brother he wrote "It's a small world (after all)", which is allegedly the most publicly-performed song of all time, as well as songs for Mary Poppins (such as "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" and "Chim Chim Cher-ee", the latter of which won them an Oscar), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and Charlotte's Web, among a vast many others. He is definitely DL-level famous, and, at 94, old enough to start being considered for the main list. Intriguing fact: He attended Beverly Hills High School at the same time as noted German-American musician Andrew Preview, or André Previn, who duetted with him at their 1946 graduation.
