![Evil May Day or Ill May Day is the name of a xenophobic riot which took place on 1 May 1517 as a protest against foreigners (called "strangers"[1]) living in London. Apprentices attacked foreign residents ranging from "Flemish cobblers" to "French royal courtiers".[2] Some of the rioters were later hanged,[3] although King Henry VIII granted a pardon for the remainder following public pleadings from his wife Catherine of Aragon.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yccb356nho6xdgyslugkgij4/bafkreif2kvn64t5jodfcmle6uylndgsnoy74mwxhfwndiiffl3za6umn3a@jpeg)
![According to the chronicler Edward Hall (c. 1498–1547), a fortnight before the riot an inflammatory xenophobic speech was made on Easter Tuesday by a preacher known as "Dr Bell" at St. Paul's Cross at the instigation of John Lincoln, a broker. Bell accused immigrants of stealing jobs from English workers and of "eat[ing] the bread from poor fatherless children".[8]
Bell called on all "Englishmen to cherish and defend themselves, and to hurt and grieve aliens for the common weal".[9][10] Over the following two weeks, there were sporadic attacks on foreigners and rumours abounded that "on May Day next the city would rebel and slay all aliens".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yccb356nho6xdgyslugkgij4/bafkreig254w53gnqk43zzk7xmdpja4slpjddm3ihyg5jywvkf3bs6sjowq@jpeg)

![(During an exchange in Tiananmen Square) Putin's interpreter could be heard saying in Chinese:
"Biotechnology is continuously developing."
After a brief inaudible passage, the interpreter added: "Human organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become, and [you can] even achieve immortality."
Xi, who was off camera, could be heard responding in Chinese: "Some predict that in this century humans may live to 150 years
Old"
Putin confirmed later to reporters he had discussed prospects for significantly increasing human life expectancy with Xi.
Both leaders have shown little intention of relinquishing power in their lifetimes. In 2018, Xi abolished presidential term limits, paving the way for him to rule indefinitely.
Putin has also changed Russian law to allow him to remain in high office.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:li4fkcmqurfv6onjqo5h63kr/bafkreib7gt2dcsqf5luqurltzr6xevnoamnoaqvnbemd2mlp4kwrchkfba@jpeg)
