Hey, no matter's to me, I've already been stabbed by a rebel, I'm just visiting. A ghost you know. James thought that I aught to pop down to check how Charles was and then, unexpected Civil War, not really just I can do to help is there?
I'm here from August 1714, and the big news is: Queen Anne's dead! (So is the Electress of Hanover, who'd had her eye on the job for years.)
Will the people accept a German king who's imprisoned his own wife and had her lover murdered? What's Lord Bolingbroke planning now? Who will be the new Lord High Treasurer? Is it true that the Duke of Marlborough is back in the country? Will Lady Masham keep her job as Keeper of the Privy Purse? Who will claim the Longitude Prize?
I'm writing in January 1974 and currently writing this by candlelight on a typewriter. On the plus side, I only have to work three days a week, even if I have to spend the rest of the week in darkness. Needless to say a lot of people aren't happy about this on top of the world fuel crisis and massive inflation. We're looking forward to a General Election next March which should give us a strong government to sort this mess out!

In the end, all things come down to Nick Clegg. It's the Alternative Clegg system.
