    TLIAD: Thicker Than Water

    Oh yeah? You know, I honestly can’t remember if its bold for internal voice or not… Look never mind that, what year do you think this is? What? Its 2016 m9. And everyone knows that what year it is determines precisely what can and can’t happen. Well obviously, it’s the twenty first century...

    Ending in Failure

    Enoch Powell was one of the most famous, or infamous, British politicians of the twentieth century. Today he is remembered almost exclusively for his 1968 Rivers of Blood speech – a prescient foreboding or a racist polemic according to his supporters and detractors respectively – after which...

    A Modest Proposal

    “And I say to our country, our great country, don't be afraid! Don't be afraid of those who tell us that we cannot run our affairs; that we have not got the ingenuity to mobilise our resources and overcome our economic problems. Of course we have! We can do that and save the freedom of our...

    Divided Kingdom

    Hello, what's all this then? Oh, hey! No hang on, this isn't that kind of timeline... Hang on yourself, I'm your inner monologue, and I know how much you like this easy expository device. Now what's this, another timeline? Yeah. But you haven't finished that other one... you know...

    "Her Own Family" - Agent Boot's Alt-PM Vignette

    (In a timeline known simply as OTL, a poster lunges desperately for a bandwagon. Has it already departed? Probably. Will there be obscure references noone gets? Inevitably. Are they going to post anyway? Most definitely.) "I fear we may never see her like again. She was, quite simply, the...

    TLIAD: The Quiet Death of Liberal England

    A British TLIAD Oh yes, what's all this then? It's a TLIAD – a Timeline In A Day – about British politics. You're one of them are you? A Politi-Brit? Yes. A Liberal? No. So its about the old pre-1988 Liberal Party? Correct. And will it actually be finished in a day...
