...and here is the plot synopsis.
There is a country, which has a government. This government is seemingly made up of people from one nation in this country - a nation which also has it's own government (unlike the other 3 nations that make up this fictitious country). The public at large don't seem to find this strange, but then they are more interested in people who are famous for no obvious reason, and voting them out of jungles and into dancing competitions. As a result, the government is allowed to get away with all sorts of things, like recording who you have phoned, and arresting MP's who try and stop bad things from being covered up. A small, but growing proportion of the residents of the country are very naughty, but because the police have caught both Administration-Overloaditis and Healthandsafety Syndrome, nothing can be done to stop them. This scares everyone else, and helps sell newspapers. As a result, the government explain how they will sort it out by Tuesday, forcing the bad news into places no-one ever looks anymore. And so the people get ever-more taxed, regulated and controlled.
Against the background of this wars are being fought at great expense against an enemy that might not even exist, for a cause that has it roots in the bad feelings that the wars create.
And then, just when everyone though they knew who win Strictly I'm Famous In The Jungle Acadamy, the banks (who have been ripping everyone with impunity) realise they have given all their money away. As a result, the government have to replace all the missing cash, with money from the pockets of the people who gave the missing money to the banks in the first place. But because someone who really was famous won Celebrity Tea Picking, this wasn't figured out.
In the meantime, as a result of oil company greed and spiralling taxation reducing the money in the pockets of the people, and the banks venting their frustration at their own bad management by squeezing their customers, recession arrived.
At this point I gave up on writing the book, as it became obvious that no-one would find the above even vaguely feasible....

Like your blogs mate, I'd read the book, hell I'd vote you in as pm at the mo! Have a good Christmas, when are Buntingford brews going to be more available in the Hitchin area?
Kristian, Try the Highlander (usually one or more of our beers on offer), the Half Moon (ask if it's not on, Howard won't mind...) and maybe another pub before too long as well. Happy drinking!
