  1. Comrade Cripps: A Very British Dictator

    Have just caught up with this excellent story. Great read and hope there's plenty more in the future. :)

  2. Bayonets Won't Cut Coal: The Socialist Republic of Britain

    Hi everyone. I am honoured to have been nominated for a Turtledove again this year and I would like to thank everyone who has voted for this TL and for showing so much support over the last couple of years. Unfortunately, due to work and other commitments over the past few months, I have not had...

  3. The British develop the Intermodel Container between the world wars.

    For earlier emergence/adoption, it would probably be more along the lines of the LCL containers that emerged OTL. http://pjv101.net/fts/u01/ak448.gif http://pjv101.net/fts/u01/ao976.jpg

  4. Labour take office 1939

    Considering he would still likely resign as foreign sec at roughly the same time for the same reasons, Eden is off in the backbenches kicking his heels at this point. Without support in the party and certainly after pissing off a lot of the established figures how does he become leader of the...

  5. Alternative Prime Ministers #3, "An English Heaven"

    A great piece of writing indeed. It really set a very powerful tone and drew some very clever pictures. Especially liked the the Mass Observation...:)

  6. Bayonets Won't Cut Coal: The Socialist Republic of Britain

    Book IV – A Beacon of Hope: Building Socialist Britain Chapter IX From Empire to Commonwealth (The last British Empire update was some time ago, so here is a link to it if you would like to refresh your memory: link) The second Imperial Council (IC) conference, held in Ottawa in...

  7. WI: No Air-Policing

    If it doesn't get tried in Iraq, then the benefits it brings to policing the imperial frontier, with the same conclusions drawn will be found on the North West Frontier, the Sudan, Somali-land or half a dozen other places during the 1920s - albeit not necessarily on the same scale. OTL air...

  8. Alternative Royal Australian Navy for the 1930s

    Briefly: Brisbane-Sydney: Either via the "main north" changing at Wallangarra to the Qld railways or via the North Coast line, but wasn't complete until the Grafton Bridge was completed in 1932. Sydney Melbourne: Change trains at Albury/Wodonga from standard to broad gauge. Sydney–Perth...

  9. Bayonets Won't Cut Coal: The Socialist Republic of Britain

    Hi everyone, sorry about the lack of updates lately. Unfortunately I’m going to have to take a short break from writing as life is a little hectic at the moment as I'm moving house and will be travelling frequently for work over the coming months. Rest assured I have plenty of ideas about where...

  10. Future of Tanks after a WWI with No Stalemate.

    From the British perspective, future development will shift back to defending the 'imperial frontier' with its core focus on mobile operations, against opponents unlikely to be firing anything heavier than common rifle calibers, with armour not really needing to develop against anything heavier...

  11. Northern Ireland w/out Ian Paisley?

    Terence O'Neill's government still collapses, but possibly at a slightly later date (with or without implementing reforms). Although without O'Neill's personal humiliation of nearly being defeated by Paisley in his own electorate in 1969, he might somehow (pretty unlikely) continue on as leader...

  12. AHC: Australia a World Cup top 4 finish.

    Without a massive PoD, in 2006 have Australia beat Italy in the Round of 16 (entirely possible given the OTL match). Then they go on to face either the Ukraine or Switzerland in the Quarter finals. Scraping through after penalties, they face Germany in the semis and put in a solid, but...

  13. Bayonets Won't Cut Coal: The Socialist Republic of Britain

    Book IV – A Beacon of Hope: Building Socialist Britain Chapter VIII Defending the Nation Although the immediate threat of invasion of the SRB had subsided by the beginning of 1927, the BGE and the Dominions still posed a threat and France remained hostile. At home, internal dissent was...

  14. Bayonets Won't Cut Coal: The Socialist Republic of Britain

    The British will certainly be looking at closer military and economic ties with the US, but it’s too early to say whether this will evolve into a formal alliance, and it would probably take a major global conflict to join the US to any British Empire led military alliance. American isolationist...

  15. Bayonets Won't Cut Coal: The Socialist Republic of Britain

    Hi brigand12, yes I can assure you that I am continuing with this TL. June was an extremely busy month due to travel and work commitments, but I am aiming to have the next update ready by the end of the week so stay tuned. :)

  16. The Lucky Country: Protect and Survive in Australia

    I'm sure Hawke would have made an another quick phone call to Blanche before setting off...;)

  17. The Lucky Country: Protect and Survive in Australia

    They could be trucked to Yass Junction (about 4km north of Yass itself), the station is on the Main South line and then could head West by train from there perhaps. Or simply have the train load at Canberra, and then turn at Goulburn west towards Cootamundra.

  18. The Lucky Country: Protect and Survive in Australia

    Interesting start. I agree with Fred the Great and his comments. In 1984, I would say that Amberley could be the potential target, and not Brisbane city itself unless its off target. At the time, I don't think Brisbane would really warrant wasting a nuke on, unless of course the Russians...

  19. The Official Dieselpunk Thread

  20. Bayonets Won't Cut Coal: The Socialist Republic of Britain

    It’s hard to tell at this stage, but I think as soon as it becomes clear that it’s costing them too much to shun the SRB, the Dominions will start to look at abandoning the BGE in favour of recognition and re-establishing economic ties with Britain. The political reality that the SRB is “here to...
