Practising witchcraft in Great Britain was decriminalised in 1951 when the 1735 Witchcraft Act was repealed. The 1735 act made it an offence subject to imprisonment, whereas the previous Acts of 1563 (Scotland) & 1603 (England) had enforced the death penalty. #LegendaryWednesday
#Otd 1778: Papists Act. 1st Act for Catholic Relief. Granted rights of leasing & inheritance to those who'd taken oath allegiance. Penalty of perpetual imprisonment for keeping a school, repealed! When Britain at war in America; keep RCs on side! Same 1793 https://t.co/2mekELNlN7
Roe vs Wade being repealed? Wow quite a shock!
I wonder what the self-righteous, arrogant, "never-ending march of progress" types are saying about this?
Too bad so sad...
Laws can be repealed. There’s a process. People zapped from platforms have no rights and no recourse.
Whist we do Ardaas today, let’s pray for souls of those who were martyred in this protest. Let’s pray for the well-being of our Kisaans and Majdoors. Let’s pray for Sarbat da Bhalla.

As it's two years since we #repealedthe8th, here's a selection of cartoons I did for the @DublinInquirer and @thetimesIE before and after the referendum:

From 1710 playing card manufacturers were obliged to pay the British government tax at 12x the cost of a pack. As forgeries abounded the Ace of Spades was hand-stamped to prove legitimacy (Penalty for card forgery: hanging) The tax was repealed in 1960 (These: Dutch cards c.1925)
When #Prohibition was repealed:
-
- People bought their alcohol from professional brewers, not criminals
-
- They stopped dying from bathtub gin
-
- Turf fighting subsided
-
- Murder & assault rate fell steadily
