    "Hipster" Politicians Thread

    I've thought for a while that Lester Maddox could make a 'good' president in a dystopian TL - this is the man who ran a fried chicken restaurant and was so massively racist he was able to parlay it into becoming the governor of Georgia. Not a good man by any means but he would be an interesting...

    Could The British Car Industry Be Saved?

    I am not Coiler and not an expert in this subject but would hazard the guess that it's a combination of the destruction of so much capital by German bombing and the loss of captive markets with the gradual dissolution of the empire. Although an interesting comparison would be what is now the...
