  1. 1991 Prime Minister assasinated

    On 7th february 1991 the IRA hit downing street with a mortar fired from the back of a white van. Though there were no casualties Prime Minister John Major and several senior cabinet ministers were rumoured to have been in the room targeted and would surely have died had the mortar been fired...

  2. Sierra Leone 2000- British vs RUF

    dunno how that would have played internationally. some countries might have cried "imperialism". maybe people like mugabe in zimbabwe would have been put off their crimes. the french probably would support britain in this as they tend to take action in their old empire

  3. UK breaks up recently

    1994 – Gordon Brown stands against and defeats Tony Blair for the leadership of the Labour Party. 1997 – Without Blair as leader, the Labour Party doesn’t gain the support of Britain’s major businesses and traditionally right-wing tabloids like the Sun continue to support the Conservative...

  4. Alternate American Flags

    Between 1603 and 1707 Scotland and England supposedly had seperate union jacks, the Scots version had the flags of the 2 countries interlaced. This would be the British flag from 1707 to at least 1801 in an ATL where one of the conditions demanded by the Scottish Parliament for passing the...

  5. Alternate American Flags

    This ATL union jack is absolutely terrible. :( still, to each their own. Can anyone think up a decent flag for all the people of northern ireland to have in common. I've had a go at designing something based on both the old northern Ireland flag used now by unionists (white with 6 point star...

  6. Unification of Anglo-Pacific Nations

    i really can't see anyway it could have happened before world war 2. if britain had been invaded then it's possible that canada, australia and new zealand would have gotten a hell of a lot closer to the united states. and if the former king had never abdicated and stayed in london after the...

  7. Poland wins in 1939

    I'll happily admit my knowledge of ww2 is a wee bit limited. but didn't britain and france declare war when germany invaded poland? i seam to remember a government backbencher saying something like "speak for england arthur" to the leader of the opposition when the PM dithered. i thought britain...

  8. Poland wins in 1939

    "what about if the Brits and French had shown a little more backbone than OTL" That's ridiculous. Firstly, Britain wasn't anywhere near ready for war in 1939 as was plainly demonstrated by the fact that their forces deployed in France were pounded all the way back to Dunkirk. Had they tried...

  9. Kosovo WI scenarios

    Forgot to say something. Mr bluenote: US law, not the constitution forbids the use of the military in civilian police actions (possibly the posse commitatus act). The law doesn't stop civilian agencies from using equipement borrowed from the military however. In Waco the FBI/ATF (unsure...

  10. Kosovo WI scenarios

    We irishmen are not known to be too fond of the British Army, but Lt. General Sir Mike jackson was spot on when he told clark where to go. What he said was widely reported here (we have the same TV stations as the Brits) and the fact that Prime Minister Blair supported his subordination surely...

  11. Alternate American Flags

    This the UK flag you had in mind?

  12. Alternate American Flags

    different union jack can't see why would the saint patrick's cross would ever have been integrated with the saint george's cross? apart from the fact it looks horrendous, it reduces the status of both the english and scottish flags on the union jack. anyone explain?

  13. Alternate American Flags

    flag 3 Flag 3 is a scottish version of the red ensign. in an independent scotland it would probably be the flag for merchant ships to display. for the record i have seen it flown alongside the british red ensign on ships from scotland moored at donegal, ireland.
