I can't tell who was speaking in that conversation.
I think C is Prince Charles with him not being sure and being called his uncle's nephew which might reference Charles' relationship with Mountbatten.

I would have given names if I wanted certainty. I did give a hint though as to one of those present..I can't tell who was speaking in that conversation.

I'm not sure it's Clark - he never appeared to be particularly close to the Palace or Clarence House. In his diaries he was quite uncomplimentary towards the Royals.
He's only been in office a week in which the cabinet have been wiped out and half the British Army is in the middle east preparing for war.So I'm guessing the Northern Ireland strategy will be to swamp the place with as many soldiers as possible?
Other then that could I ask what Ian Lang's platform was on the other issues of the day?
This is going to get ugly.
That being said, this looks VERY interesting.![]()
Interesting TL, the government should thread very carefully with regards to Northern Ireland. Crushing the IRA must be done for obvious reasons but crushing the loyalist thugs would be just as good in the long run, especially as it is important to be even handed in this state of affair.
Hopefully Paisley will get a bullet as well, I don't care whether the round is IRA issue or British Army issue, accidents do happen after all ...
Actually you are right. I'm going to re-write this part. I was aiming at ratcheting it up another notch. With hindsight, I've gone a step too far too soon.Fletcher
Would the IRA have been that successful in the ambush? By that time we're been combating the scum for quite a while and gathered a lot of information on them. I would have thought a crack-down would have involved special forces going in hard and picking up known-suspected members.
Also would the Irish parliament be that openly corrupt and dishonest. I know fascism is still a serious force in Ireland at the time but given what the IRA has just done I think even the worse of them would think carefully before publicly supporting mass political assassination.

I'm not really well up on my Irish politics, all I know is that the two major Irish parties (Fianna Fail and Fine Gael) are basically divided by their opinions on the treaty creating the Free State. And I thought the IRA (Official and Provisional) was Marxist. Who are the Irish fascists you're referring to?
