A Scent of Sage Rosemary and Thyme

Charles Boothby is the new PM; it’s May 7th 2010, the day after a general election. No party wanted victory, the problems are too immense. The world’s economy has sunk into a depression of unprecedented depths. The UK treasury is in dire straights. The baby boomers are due to retire. Those in retirement will increase by a third. With the under 21’s, over half of the population will be unproductive, bleeding the exchequer. There is no easy way out of the financial abyss. The most drastic austerity measures ever will surely be unleashed on Great Britain. Or will they? Is there another solution? A new party, The National Radical Loyalist Party, promise effective resolutions for the nation’s problems. Robert Cadman, an utterly ruthless government mouthpiece and advisor, has a spine chilling remedy. This will not only increase revenue but eliminate more than half of the drain on expenditure. His creation of an intelligence service to combat ‘bio-terrorism’ is a cover for his own brand of terrorism; which will ensure his own wealthy retirement. Will he profit, or will he fail? He was certain that he had though of everything, but some things cannot be predicted. How corrupt can he be?
