Bringing his mind back to the present, Jamieson continues his story:
"The 'traditional' parties conspired against us and managed tae twist a protest that turned tae a riot into our political disaster. Let's just say those damned police... brutes arenae gettin' any forgiveness fae me any time soon..." Iain stops again, a mixture of anger and great sorrow across his face.
"Banned and on the run, those that had warnin' managed tae leave for safety, mostly on IMG stations. Didnae dae much good, most were found and arrested. A fair few ae us found refuge wi' the Mollys ae all people, and as ye may know fae any time wi' the Volksfront, a lot ae them worked wi' them in Bretonia and here in Rheinland.
As for me... well I had a reason tae stick around a little longer."
He stops again, momentarily distracted by Hermann stumbling to and from the bar.
