RAE STORY imagines a dystopian future where feminists have given up and the prostitution profiteers run riot

THE year is 2032. Britain is a vastly different place. You can now choose from 12, instead of four, sizes of recyclable mug at your local coffee house — which, helpfully, also now tend to function as arms of the county council, after cutbacks.

White bread carries a public health warning, and it has become commonplace to chew coagulated “locally reared” pig’s blood, due to its “antiageing properties.”

The Conservatives are still in power, having rejigged constituency boundaries so they now only need about three votes to gain seven MPs, and all the other political parties have since lost the will, leaving the Stark Raving Loonies as his majesty’s official opposition.
