    Just to say thanks for this well researched and enthralling TL. The build up has been great, now the consequences will begin, and I can’t wait!

    Great to see this back.

  5. Earliest possible Kingdom of Great Britain?

    Aethelstan (924) was potentially the earliest ruler who had authority over the mainland UK after defeating the Scot’s and Welsh and having them acknowledge him as ruler of the whole island. He confirmed this at Brunanburh when he defeated a Scot’s / Viking army. He died without issue and quite...
  6. A Better Rifle at Halloween

    I stand corrected! That’s what I like about this site - the staggering amount of knowledge that folk bring to bear on almost every facet of life.

    Given the IRA at this point was completely penetrated by the security forces can’t see that as a major worry, and that given the Sikh community in the UK has never been a particularly political one so active terrorists are likely to be a very small group I just can’t see this becoming an issue...
  13. WI Indira Gandhi's assassination takes place in the evening when she meets with Princess Anne, resulting in Anne being shot but not killed

    Honestly no. Some far right nutters would - the NF and BNP were still a thing then . But Anne isn’t the Queen, wasn’t killed and it wouldn’t have been that big a thing. There could have been more cooperation between the UK and India as a result in a number of areas, and it may well have helped...
