Night of the Long Knives (1962)

 * ... that fifty years ago today, Harold Macmillan (pictured) dismissed seven members of his Cabinet, an event known as the Night of the Long Knives?
 * Reviewed: Shungite
 * Comment: The anniversary of this will be pretty soon, 13 July 2012. If this can be promoted for then, that would be fantastic. If not, the hook will need tweaking.

 * Pictogram voting keep.svg A very informative article on a seminal event in modern British political history. The sources are almost all offline so, necessarily, AGF on them; nonetheless the article is well-written, well referenced and generally well illustrated (though isn't there any chance of getting a better picture of poor Selwyn Lloyd?).
