Churchill and the Grangetown Gang – a short steampunk story
From an interview with Winston S Churchill for ‘The Secret History of the Ministry of Industry, Technology and the Paranormal’ by the Ironopolis Broadcasting Company, Ottowa, 1947
“At that time – the winter of 1911 – Great Britain, and in particular Ironopolis City, was the refuge for several Russian émigré gangs, that we would, today, call terrorists.
These vicious gangs were self-contained, bound together by race and experience, and intent on ‘expropriating’ – stealing – funds, to continue their struggle against the Tsarist regime with its secret police, in Mother Russia.
