1931 the 14th of April was declared the 2nd Republic of Spain.

It's "firsts" were many-
free education, free health care, over 50% of the arable land organised in autonomous collectives,
the first parliamentary representation by anarchists, the first political radio broadcasts, the first Catalan & Basque republics were declared as an associate component within it's state architecture.

All too quickly it fell, as the first victim of European fascism. read full story / add a comment

While planespotting OUTSIDE Shannon Warport in broad daylight last Sunday, some planespotters found themselves on the receiving end of a fit of madness from one of the APOs who decided somehow that he had jurisdiction outside his patch.
