    PM Salmond and the Era of “The Group”

    Balancing plausibility with weirdness is always a challenge, I say as the writer of a TL where Dimbleby ate Prince Andrew in the throne room of Buckingham Palace. I think the trick is to allow a space for weirdness. Setting early on that weirdness is part of the rules of the world. Humour is...

    Eugenics, Nukes and an Avocado Pizza - A Sideways Party Run-down TL

    aaaaa that's actively horrifying, and I mean believable if you look at 17th and 18th century queer culture and how cross dressing seems to have been a key part in a lot of it.

    Thanks. There is an answer to that question, and some people on the forum know what it is. I think @Bolt451 already knows precisely what it is. If you're reading this and you know the POD already, please could you discuss it only behind spoilors so people can play the guess the POD game...

    1 February 2017 Major Parties: National: The National Party is understandably making a big deal about Prime Minister Laing going to the Moon. What? Sorry? He's not the Brit who's on the Moon right now, fuck you'd never guess from the amount they're bragging about it. Labour: Are absolutely...

    Threadmarks: Intro

    So, you're doing the talking to yourself thing? I'm doing that thing, yes. A Party Run-down TL? I do this thing where once every two to three weeks I look at the websites of all the UK parties, write a sentence about each one, and try to be funny. Then I post it at the start of each new...

    Excellent work bolt. I've often wondered if the Miliband government could be as chaotic as what did happen The Tories and Labour wanted Scotland to leave the UK?

    This worked out well. I mean, it's also kind of chilling, in a "it's 2018, women got the right to hold high office in government in 2016 and atheists still don't have it and there are no protests" kind of way. I wonder what the rest of that society looks like.

    I wanted to consider how one might go about stripping people of freedoms in the 21st century to achieve ultra conservative policies while seeming reasonable. I often find myself considering this when I think of people like Rees-Mogg, who are against gay marriage. Realistically, you can't just...

    Cheers. I have been staring at that list for so long.:) I was thinking it would be one of those nasty little things, like a brain aneurism. I quite liked the idea of a modern regency.
