Anything further happening with this? Or have you deferred to the "New Jerusalem 2.0" TL?

Oh come on, don't take it personally. I was just surprised.

Oh, I know that. I meant... uh, OK not sure what else I meant :o.

Or have something like the Sea Dragon... :cool:;)

That seems to work.

That's a pretty bizarre one :D Was Blunkett in the running?

Ah, yes. I'd forgotten about that one! My apparent ability to kill off threads was going strong at that point... Anyway, as Steven points out: So yeah. I don't know. Maybe we can combine the two? Have the Liberals, some time in the early 20th century, repudiate their flirtation with...

Yes. I have to wonder what he was actually like as a person and MP. No idea. Might have happened... and that was pre-expenses-scandal, if I remember rightly. Well... probably more complicated than that. Smith was a moderniser, not as much so as Blair & Brown. For exploration of this idea, you...
