A Very British Civil War - Pictures, videos and write-upsThe game ebbed and flowed, with the death of the infamous Roderick Spode of the BUF, renegade aristocrats, duplicitous clergy and former communists supporting the monarchy. It finished with an increasingly strident BBC announcer informing the assembled players that the House of Lords had been dissolved, the King had been taken to a secure location and Moseley was in control of London. As the narrator observed:
'You might that think that Moseley engineered a situation which saw him rid of a rival (whilst providing a martyr for the cause), expose the hypocrisy of the Church, saw Stalin withdraw support for the People's Republic, highlight the need to replace the reactionary army with a new ideologically pure force and expose the faithlessness of the aristocracy, all giving him cause to launch his Very British Coup. You might think that, I couldn't possibly comment.'
