On the end of the Cold War indicating that this is a definite future story, whilst I agree from our eyes, it might not have been from Hulke’s when writing. In a 70s published history of the world I’ve been able to have a quick look at, the Cold War is considered a distinct and completed thing, from the 50s and early 60s - 1972 visits to Moscow by Nixon were seen as a sign that ‘the polarised simplicities of the Cold War were clearly gone’ - we now have the more concrete ending of the fall of the wall and collapse of the Soviet Union (and the Raeganite ratcheting of tensions in the 80s to give more continuity) but it feels like at the time of writing it might have been seen as a specific era of relations out of a many.
I sort of assume that the reason everyone left in authority in London is in on the dinosaur scam is because that’s part of the plan. Finch, Grover and everyone have arranged this whole thing, so it makes sense the conspirators would put themselves into tight roles to take charge when the ostensibly unexpected happens. They make sure they’re all in the right roles before kick off. I suppose recruiting Yates is because of the danger posed by UNIT. All lines up to me.
Hope you’re having a good Christmas!

Also, Grover is obviously a Lib Dem.
