Chapter One: Killing Oswald
Chapter One: Killing Oswald
A broadly circulated Allied Propaganda Poster shown in every nearly every building in the Western World declared of 'London or Nothing'. When a coalition of American, Loyalist and Canadian forces rolled over the beaches of Cornwall and South Wales, they would get closer to London and try not to leave nothing. It only took 3 months for London to collapse to the loyalist forces, as the fascists and mosleyites would retreat underground.
But from the underground came a tidal wave of chaos and pandemonium that swept the country from Inverness to Plymouth, as people took to the streets, some peaceful, but mostly armed and violent, to demand an end to the liberation. A rushed together loyalist Police force attempted to quell rioting, as people to little success.

After the liberation, a military provisional government was formed as an interim measure until a democratically government could be elected. The acting Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was appointed by the King and quickly despatched by trans-Atlantic flight for Britain. Three days later, Lord Mountbatten made a speech to the nation as Prime Minister calling for calm.
In response to the wave of resistance to the liberation, many towns and villages formed "Local Defence Volunteers" to protect their homes until order returned. Composed mainly of older men, many veterans of the First World War, the LDV, or "Home Guard" (or more informally “Dad’s Army” due to the older age of many members) as they became known, were usually poorly armed, but luckily saw little fighting. They did, however, play an important role in collaring known fascist representatives. Local commissars or party officials were rounded up and arrested. In places where they had been particularly disliked, a tree on the village green often came into use as an impromptu gallows.
His Majesty the King arrived in London Airport to thunderous acclamation on the 18th of August 1946. Following a short parade through London, the King officially took up residence at Buckingham Palace, which had been taken over by the fascists and turned into a museum and the so-called "Union Palace". Thankfully much of the Palace's interior furnishings had survived, and the Royal Standard flew over Buckingham Palace for the first time since 1934. The same day, His Majesty gave a speech over the radio, thanking the British people for their support in this trying time.
The Duke of York was the first Royal to return from exile; whilst the Royals weren’t officially banished, they chose not to endorse fascists
On the 28th of August 1946, those members of the House of Lords who had made it back to Britain or had survived the fascist era reconvened for the first time since 1933; the damage done to the Lords' chamber during the fascists' time meant that debates were held in Westminster Hall until renovations could be done. Many key statesmen, businessmen and officers were elevated to the peerage, including the Liberals David Lloyd George, created the Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfor, and Winston Churchill, who was created the Earl Churchill of Oldham.
On the 1st of September 1946 preparations began for the first General Election to the Commons since the revolution. Writs were issued for members to be elected for each of Britain's reduced 600 Westminster constituencies, as prominent statesmen set about campaigning or returning from either underground or Canada as fast they could.
The election campaign was fought between the two main forces in pre-revolution British politics, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party, led by Esmond Harmsworth and Gwilym Lloyd George respectively. The Labour Party, following the targeted propaganda of the fascists in Britain, was notably reduced in popularity, and was looking to lose out the third-party spot to the National Party, a right wing traditionalist party headed up by H. P. Croft, seen as a controlled nationalist party for the Mosleyite remnants to reluctantly vote for.
Gwilym Lloyd George- Liberal, Esmond Harmsworth- Conservative, Henry Croft- National
On October 31, the votes were counted and Lloyd George with his Liberals had won a conclusive victory. Propelled by working class support for themselves, the National Party received strong support in urban areas to supplement their base of power in the technocratic middle class. In rural regions and the shires, the Conservatives retained their traditional dominance. The Labour Party had reduced support and took home only a handful of seats. Gwilym Lloyd George was the first Prime Minister since the Revolution.
301 for a Majority
Liberal Party: 312 seats
Conservative Party: 231 seats
National Party: 38 seats
Labour Party: 15 seats
Other: 4 seats
Having assembled his new cabinet, Lloyd George gave a speech on the balcony of Lancaster House - the new and permanent Prime Minister’s residence since the destruction of 10 Downing Street during the Battle of London - aiming to capture the significance of the moment.
In the approach the General Election, Royal Intelligence had sabotaged numerous plots by Fascist holdouts to disrupt or disturb the procedures. In dark areas, Moseleyites persevered, hanging tight for their chance. The immediate danger confronting the new Prime Minister was assassination. Despite the bright exterior, Britain was still disturbed by Mosley. Soon the King would have to open the new parliament, however past that was very uncertain.
