The year is 2020 and the 'Thought Police' are searching the recently firebombed house of Mark Lowton who is thought to be a victim of the notorious 'Lancaster Bomber'.
A piece of paper was found in a locked drawer of his office desk, containing what is thought to be a biblical text written by a disgruntled author, possibly a redundant vicar, in the 2009 'Year of Discontent'.
The work is based around Psalm 23, and reads:
"Brown is my shepherd, I shall not work.
He leadeth me beside still factories.
He restoreth my faith in the conservative party.
He guideth me to the path of unemployment.
Yea, though I wait for my dole,
I own the bank that refuses me.
Brown has anointed my income with taxes,
My expenses runneth over my income,
Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of his term.
From hence forth we will live all the days of our lives in a rented home with an overseas landlord.
I am glad I am British,
I am glad that I am free.
But I wish I was a dog
And brown was a tree"
