In 2010 following a disputed election result a series of events shook the once great country of Britain to its very core. In Parliament, years of hot air produced by the house of commons created a flammable gas that was ignited when Charles Kennedy got pissed and told his colleagues that the smoking ban was a load of bollocks and he lit a cigarette. Most members of parliament, their researchers and senior civil servants were killed in the resulting fire.
After a great deal of soul searching, the UK announced that –as it couldn’t agree on the way forward and the kind of nation it wanted to be – it was to undergo a divorce and be replaced by 2 new separate countries that would reflect the divide. On one side was DailyMailLand, a constitutional monarchy run by Prime Minister Paul Dacre, and on the other was the Peoples Republic of Guardianista, headed by Chairperson Toynbee. Both nations strived to create new societies based upon the political visions of their previous incarnations.
This blog takes up the story in 2012 and reports on how both nations fare in a complex and dangerous world as they try to rebuild a shattered economy and traumatised society.
