The political question and scenario time!

The idea
Here are 65 interesting hypothetical political moral questions, events and dilemmas on national affairs that are based on what would hit any English, French, Dutch, Belgian, Pennsylvanian and\or Irish regime between 1993 and 2008.

It is set on an ficticios island, in fictitious part of the real North Atlantic. The multicultural nation portrayed is statistically comparable to Western Europe and Pennsylvania in 2008. The island's area is that of the UK and Ireland combined and the population is 54,476,437.

It is a totally fictitious example nation which has it's domestic affairs based on factual events as are the settlements and the hypothetical situations set with in it. It is not intended to be a political parody, comment or slur on any nation.

Question 7

Question 1


Chalkville is 75 miles west of Bristow City Center and 25 miles south of Hepworth. Nighthawking is the theft of archaeological artifacts from protected archaeological sites and areas under the cover of darkness, something which has become common on this farm over the last 10 years. It all started when the Chalk Vale Regional Archaeological Society found some 500 year old pottery on the site. Once they left the nighthawking started.

The farmers' dog bit one badly and was shot last year. He lost a leg, but not his feisty attitude! The farmer put a CCTV camera in the most raided field and on his tractor shed door.

Question 2


Chalkville station has been improved over the last 6 years! It has more wheelchair ramps, a lift for wheelchair usage and more notices in braille text for blind people.

The local MP said that wheelchair users were "A bunch of worthless spasmo-dicks." in the Chalkville and District Gazette.

The National Disabled Beuro and local residents held a rally the next day outside it in support of the ramps and lift.

Question 3


Chalkville 17th century Manor House formerly formerly belonged to the island's King. It became The governor's palace 150 years ago and then the local museum in 70 years ago.

A suspected nighthawker said that thought it was going to soft on local farmer's property rights and paying metal detectorists to little for their finds. He then took his trousers down, waggled his penis at a curateor, put his trousers back on and ran out before the curator could stop him.

Question 4


A bunch of drunk party goers burst into the grounds of Chalkville Holy Trinity parish church on Boxing Day night, ruing the place. The impromptu drunken rampage lead to the place being covered in vomit, litter, urine and fast-food. A gravestone was knocked over. The local vicar and curate were very upset by this and condemned the incident both on Radio Chalkville FM and in the Chalkville and District Gazette the next day.

Question 5


Steepleton is 57 miles west of Bristow City Center and 35 miles south of Hepworth. Nighthawking is the theft of archaeological artifacts from protected archaeological sites and areas under the cover of darkness, something which has become common on this farm over the last 10 years. It all started when the Chalk Vale Regional Archaeological Society found some Viking year old pottery on the site. Once they left the nighthawking started.

The farmer had tried to scare them off worth his rottweiler dog, but they only left after they accidental found an old IRA arms dump. It has now been despised of by Bristowe Island's army bomb disposal team.

Question 1


A construction permit covering sand and gravel was issued last month for a sight 1 mile west of the northern town of Ramston. Aggregate MN, Direct Aggregate Supplies Ltd. and Lafarge S.A. will operate the site.

People's concerns are relating to the noise, dust, extra traffic and the cutting down of several ~100 year old trees. Economists say it will create jobs for the next 20 to 30 years. Ecologists say it will be ruin the environment for the next 50 to 60 years. The roads of are very potholed to due to years of bad weather and council neglect. The roads are often full of 3 to 4 ft heavy snow drifts in January and February.

Question 2


The village church flooded 3 years ago. The villagers and vicar want the River Quickwater dragged out and canalized to reduce the risk of flooding. Environmentalists say it will probably kill the large local newt colony. The floods left 100 families homeless and the local school badly damaged. It took 6 months to clear up and repair the flood damage.

Question 3


The 200 year old all Church of St James the Great in Longford ran out of money to repair the failing roof, which has leaked for 3 years due to heavy storm damage. Youths stole the remaining roof lead last year. The local vicar launched an appeal for funds in the Ramsdale gazette.

Church donations, the Ramsdale gazette appeal and a online crowdfunding campaign have raised a lot of money, but it is still not enough to do all the repairs with, so the vicar has now requested help from the ministry of culture.

Question 4


5 miles west of Ramston is Longford. Some locals claimed that new Balti quesne restaurant and Chinese takeaway both make a bad stink and a lot of litter in the High Street since they opened 2 months ago.

Ramston and Longford Borough Council's inspector found last month that whilst litter went up a bit, the was neither any notable smell or a spike in anti-social behavior around the shops. The council has chosen to investigate how many new litter bins are needed and were they can be put in the High Street. The Ramsdale gazette launched an appeal to remote the installation of more litter bins in the street and people using the existing one more often.

Question 1


The place is a popular seaside resort, but summer night life is getting ruined by rising knife crime. It is at a 12 year high and may break the 20 year high this year if it continues to rise at current rates. The public say drugs, drunkenness, joblessness and youth center closures are blighting the town. Social experts say it's because of obesity, joblessness and youth center closures. The police and teachers both blame drugs, lack of moral fiber and youth center closures. Doctors are desperate to stop the influx of stabbed, hopelessly drunk and dangerously high people. Local takeaway and souvenir shop owners are desperate to stop the nocturnal stabbings that on several occasions spilled over into their shops.

Sadly, another teenage male was stabbed last night. He was wounded in the neck outside the local college and is now critically ill in the hospital. Witnesses told the Tref y Dyffryn Recorder the ethnically Welsh victim was chased and attacked in the road outside the town's technical college by a mob of about 6 to 8 ethnically English teenagers of mixed gender. The victim was brought into the nearby library for treatment after the attack. Tref y Dyffryn County Police said no arrests have been made so far and their inquiries continue.

Question 2


The northwestern hamlet of Porth y Geifr is dependent on road transport to connect it to the rest of the nation's rural northwest and Tref y Dyffryn. Not many people have cars in the hamlet or the rural northwest. The local bus service says the rout to Tref y Dyffryn is non-viable without a major state subsidy due to poor passenger numbers, so it will be withdrawn soon. The locals say they will be cut off and the village will die. Tref y Dyffryn County Council say that local taxes must go up modestly to pay for the subsiding of the routes that will be closed otherwise.

Question 3


Llyn Defaid Junction 15 south west of Tref y Dyffryn is a popular tourist station that is very busy with campers and hikers in the spring and summer. Iti's 5 lines go to Tref y Dyffryn, Baile an Abhainn, Harrisburg, Hepworth and Barton.The small town of Llyn Defaid relies on the tourist industry for 90% of it's jobs, the rest being at the railway station and the local farms.

Vandals keep on blocking the line to Tref y Dyffryn and Baile an Abhainn at night with concrete blocks for the last 8 months. 8 trains stopped in time, but 6 were derailed at low speed. The manager of Bristowe Island Railway said on both national TV and Welsh regional radio that he was concerned about the train delays, wasted time, wasted money damage trains and risk of ether injury or death caused by the vandalism.

Tref y Dyffryn County Police said no arrests have been made so far and their enquiries continue. A security guard and cop now patrol the station day and night, and they will continue to do so for the next 6 months. A CCTV system will be installed next month.

Question 1


The ever growing heaps of dropped litter on Drax's Beach on the south western Drax Peninsula has lead to a seagull, herring gull and pigeon infestation crisis. The number of birds went up from 100 to 1,000 over the last 5 years. No one likes the disruptive, greedy, noisey and hyper-violent infestation!

Question 2


The 3 polling stations in the the south western village of Goatington are never used much and the villages are known for a historically low turn out rate.

Reports have it that most of the ballot box were inexplicably stuffed full of ballot papers and tellers won't explain why. A vising journalist from the Bristowe Island Chronicler said he thinks there is electoral fraud through the use of ballot stuffing taking place.

Question 3


The High Street is little used by locals. The citizens of the small town of Hamilton are scared that the recent spate of late night muggings and last month's bank robbery will drive tourists away from the town. There are calls for more CCTV cameras, stronger policing and the opening a local youth club from the parish council and local activists. Jobs outside the tourist sector are limited to a few shops, a pub, a bank and 3 farms.

The locals also recently became terrified that a citizen would get run down and killed by speeders and joyriders from Brockley Borough and Bushford Borough, who think they can treat Hamilton like a racetrack. There are calls from everyone for speed cameras, shickianes and\or speed bumps to stop the hooligans from driving so fast. Both the robbers behind last month's bank robbery and most of the muggers behind the recent spate of late night muggings were also not local and the headlines of the Bristowe Island Chronicler are frightening to read.

A security guard and cop now patrol the High Street, along with the adjoining bus station and village green at night, and will continue to do so for the next 6 months. Southwestern Regional Police said no arrests have been made so far and their enquiries continue.

Question 4


The small farming village of Searlehampton is 1 mile west of Goatington. A bunch of drunk party gowers burst into the grounds of Searlehampton parish church on a May Day night, ruing the place. The impromptu drunken rampage lead to the place being covered in vomit, litter, urine, pro-ethnic English graffiti and fast-food. A gravestone was knocked over and another grave pooped on. The local vicar was very upset by this and condemned the incident in the Searlehampton and Goatington Chronicle the next day.

Question 1


The canal in the eastern village of De Velden is silting up badly with mud from upstream and has not been dredged out for 20 years. Environmentalists want the local newts and swans left in peace, but local residents want it dredged out to avoid flooding during extremely wet weather, like that which hit the area 3 and 6 years ago. The floods of 3 year ago led to 100 of the 175 residents having their homes flooded. The 5 local farms and the local cheese factory were also badly flooded. The flooding lasted for 3 weeks and the damage was fixed after 6 months.

Question 2


The polders of the Nieuwe Autonome Regio Groningen are flooding due to rising sea levels and stormier weather. The Gemeenteraads of De Velden and De Polderlanden imminent catastrophic if nothing is done to reduce the risk of flooding in the near future. The locals want the flood barriers, storm drains and channels upgraded, especially after the flooding of De Velden 3 and 6 years ago. The process would be very costly and moderately environmentally damaging in the short run, but the floods would be severely abated.

Question 3


BSE has be found in some cattle in the farming communities around the small market town of De Polderlanden. The farmers agree to have their infected cattle put down and burnt, are concerned by the fiscal impact. They are demanding heavy financial compensation to avoid bankruptcy due to the lost stock and productivity. Farming produces 90% of the town's jobs.

Question 4


The autonomous Gemeenteraad of Vlaamse stad Antwerpen is 5 miles northeast of the small market town of De Polderlanden.

There is a growing call by many locals that all refugees are to prevented them from immediately benefiting from the social security system. The Burgermeister has survived also public opinion expelling Arab and African immigrants of any kind (that's the job of the Border Control Agency, not the Gemeenteraad of Vlaamse stad Antwerpen). He also beat up a Walloon journalist during a temper tantrum late last year and did 6 months' jail time for it!

Question 5


The steelmaking town of Groot Meer Stad is 50 miles north of Fordham. It is a major industrial settlement and is the center of the Island's steel output. The town is 75% dependent on it for jobs.

People have been urged to avoid the Island Steel Corp. steelworks after a series of 3 rapid "huge explosions" Groot Meer Stad caused a fire to broke out and caused heavy damage at the plant's smelting facilities. Residents reported hearing "3 loud bangs", felt a "strange compression" in the air that sounded "as though a jet were about to pass", also felt a "apocalyptic shaking of the ground" and that they saw a "bright yellow light engulfing the town" at the steelworks in the Nieuwe Autonome Regio Groningen. Harrowing phone and cam-corder images showed plumes of smoke rising from the island's largest steel plant. The 3 explosions ripped through steel plant over a 5 minute period after spillage of liquid iron occurred due to poor handling of a train carrying molten iron metal.

The National Air Patrol Police Service launched a helicopter with in minutes to monitor the situation and 6 specialist Groot Meer Stad Fire Engines arrived within minutes of the 1st blast.

The local MP quickly raised safety concerns at the steelworks on local radio, after a fireman told him at the scean that 2 people were injured in an explosion. He said he new it was an accident waiting to happen and he had raised his concerns repeatedly. The head of Groot Meer Stad Hospital said "The blast came from a train used to carry molten metal and 3 people were slightly burnt by splashed metal.". The head of Groot Meer Stad Police said "Early indications are that the seat of the explosion was a train which carries molten metal into the works.".

The island's industrial health and safety boddy is now investigating the sean and are opening an official report into what had happened in the accident and how to prevent it' recurrence in future. The steel plant will take 6 months to repair.

Question 1


The Harrisburg Regional Game Commission said last week that it would cost BI£1,700,000 to make Harrisburg Hiking Trail safe to use after last winter's heavy rain and snow toppled many trees and damage bridge on the route. It was founded 145 years ago by Americans who moved to Bristow Island to escape the American Civil War.

Question 2


Harrisburg City's unemployment rate at record low 3.9 percent; down 4.2% on last year and lowest for 32 years. This is mostly due to the opening of a new mobile phone factory, a Dutch car insurance firm's Bristow Island branch's head office and a power station in the city. The city's factories also makes some post-formed worktops, wall panels, particleboard, medium density fibreboard, laminate flooring, resins and lubricating oil.

Every year, for the last 10 years, Harrisburg stocks its public waterways with millions of trout and salmon in the hopes that people will follow to fish in the rivers as on next year. Fishing license sales are at 50-year low, but with the planned increase release numbers will lead to more fish for wildlife and fishermen to catch.

The town's mascot is the salamander. The slimy amphibian needs clean streams to thrive, but oil leaking into the river made them ill and fall in number over the last 10 years.

Question 3


A Harrisburg man was arrested and charged yesterday in connection with the disappearance and death by drowning of his wife in the Yr Afon Fawr during a hiking trip through Lincoln Regional Park last winter. He and his brother claimed it was an accident.

A 10 year old boy killed his 6 year old sister while playing with a gun in on the same stretch of path as the earlier drowning incident. The kid said his father gave him the gun and said the safety catch was on, but it evidently was not. The gun control and gun ownership lobbies both asy that people should use guns responsibly.

Question 4


The 120 year old miner at Huston fields on the border with Rhanbarth Ymreolaethol Cymru closed 10 years ago, with the loss of 500 jobs, and was demolished last year. The spoil heap is starting to be looted by people after free coal.It is unstable and may collapse soon, killing someone.

The Huston Fields coke works and Harrisburg City Steel Foundry Corp. works are still open, but at a reduced capacity.

Question 5


The mass shooting at a the Harrisburg City Steel Foundry Corp. works has reignited the debate about gun rights in the island and how compares to the rest of the world.

The places change, the numbers change, but the choice of weapon mostly remains the same. On the island people who want to kill a lot of other people most often do it with guns, especially in Harrisburg.

The perpetrator had a grudge against the world and feels that if it were not for the system, things would have gone better for him, according to cops. They arrested him after he was shot and wounded by a security guard. He will be charged with 3 attempted murders. The 3 victims are recovering in hospital.

Question 6


An police officer saw flames in the office through a 3rd floor window last night and raced to help, along with the janitor. Apparently 2 male teens were playing with a lighter started the litter bin fire according to Harrisburg City Police. They face being put on trial arson, breaking and entering, trespass and vandalism in the next few days.

Question 7


Harrisburg's ‘house of horrors’ parents face now face life in prison without the possibility of Parole. A 911 call from one of the 3 daughters was released. She told the 911 operator they were "Sometimes we live in filth", "We have head lice and scabies", "We someones get punched" and "We lived most of our lives in handcuffs".

The Harrisburg Regional House of Representatives moved yesterday to toughen penalties for people who chose not report suspicions about repeated child sexual abuse and make it explicit offence punishable with 6 years in jail.

Question 8


A Harrisburg teen has just been arrested on homicide charges and her boyfriend was called in for questioning over the suspected death by drowning of her 71-year-old widowed grandfather for BI£30,000. He was found dead in the small port of Haven 10 miles to the south of of Harrisburg. Experts reckon he was had been in the water for 2 days and was washed downstream from Harrisburg or a nearby part of the Yr Afon Fawr in Lincoln Regional Park last winter. The kids have refused to co-operate with police, say they are innocent and got himself an attorney.

Question 1


Beachwood Station, 22 miles south west of Bristow City Center. Most of its usage is in the rush hour. Several stabbings have occurred hear late at night and the CCTV cameras are largely broken due to lack of maintenance. The town of Beachwood and passengers that use the station are frightened of going there at night now and want a police patrol set up on the station. The headlines in the Beachwood Gazette about the muggings are frightening to read.

A security guard and cop now patrol the station at night and will continue to do so for the next 6 months. Beachwood District Police said no arrests have been made so far and their enquiries continue.

Question 2


5 miles west of Beresford Townt is the commuter town of Homerville. The bridge over the River Homer is in poor repair due to concoreat cancer and a server barge collision incident last year. It is 1 of the 2 vital road links between the 2 halves of the town. Homerville Town Council say they can't afford to pay for the repairs and want government financial help to do so.

Question 3


The commuter village of Otterbrook lies 1.5 miles northwest of Berresford Town. They are plans to reopen a tramline that ran between Homerville, Beresford Town, Otterbrook and Draketown until it's closure 70 years ago. Passenger numbers were alway low over it's 60 year life span. Now the places have grown and the roads are getting congested the tramway would economically viable if rebuilt. Many people also think the village needs a few more buses running to Berresford Town and Homerville as well.

Everyone agrees that he NOx levels are causing the last years' rise in asthma cases and must be reduced fast. Air pollution from road traffic is very high and asthma levels are very heavy. In areas of high motor vehicle traffic, like Bristowe City, the amount of nitrogen oxides emitted into the atmosphere as air pollution can be significant and a major contributor to making acid rain, ground level ozone, particulates and the gray summer haze that comes down over the Bristowe City center at times. particulate matter (also called particle pollution) is mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air and it is commonplace in the local air.

Question 1


A broken marine outfall\sewage outflow pipe Brock's Beach on the south eastern Brock Peninsula has lead to a algae bloom crisis this year. It broke 3 years ago and spews sewage 50 ft, not 100 ft out to sea. A sewage outflow pipe is a cheap but dirty solution for struggling sanitation boards. For earlier and fast expanding towns, it's the only solution, unless you transport excess sewage to neighboring towns in the region for processing. The first pipe was 115 years ago, but was scrapped 75 years ago. The current pipe is 75 years old and should have been fixed 35 years ago, but was not.

Question 2


The River Blackwater estuary passes the Blacklakes Industrial Estate and the Brereton to Blacklakes M1 motorway flyover (10 miles south on the Benton Estate and 3 miles north of the coastline).

The water is reportedly full of industrial water pollution after it came in contact with toxic chemicals, heavy metals, organic sewage sludge, and oil. There is much concern after all the fish died off earlier this year. Several seagulls died off soon afterwards and duck populations have fallen from 20 to 8 over the last 10 years. The headlines Bristowe Island Chronicler about the pollution are frightening to read. Everyone agrees that better technology is being developed for disposal of waste and recycling as much polluted water in the industries as possible.

Trace amounts of cocaine, ketamine, prescription drugs and banned pesticides have been found in the River Blackwater's wildlife across South Eastern Region. The research was carried out by King's College, London, UK.

Environmentalist, public health officials and doctors say the pollution must be cut fast and the river cleaned up as soon as possible!

Question 3


Hemington Is 2 miles southeast of Beachwood and the High Street is often used by locals. The citizens of the large town of Hemington are scared that the recent spate of late night muggings, the long-standing grafiti issues and last month's bank robbery will drive tourists away from the town centre. There are calls for more CCTV cameras, stronger policing and the opening a local youth club from the parish council and local activists. Both the behind the recent spate of late night muggings were mostly local and the headlines of the Hemington Observer are frightening to read.

A security guard and cop now patrol the High Street at night, and will continue to do so for the next 6 months. Hemington District Police said no arrests have been made so far and their enquiries continue.

Question 4


Shoretown Is 2 miles southeast of Hemington and a popular tourist resort. There has been an unexpectedly high outbreak Portuguese man-of-war. The are not really a jellyfish but a actually "floating colony of hydrozoans". The Jellyfish, who can cause painful stings, have to lead to reactions ranging from curiosity to outright fear.

Shoretown Town Council has indefinitely closed the beach and hope the jellyfish will soon go away. Many hoteliers fear that a long term shutdown will drive them out of business and want compensation from the government.

Question 1


Ironford's town center is now choking with traffic due to the closure of the fiscally unviable  local bus and train services last year. A nearby local brick factory has expanded last year leading to more trucks and cars going their. The locals want traffic numbers cut soon. The rail lobby want the station reopened, but that would be costly since it's been demolished. The roads lobby want a bypass, but several local farmers don't want it running through there farm land.

Question 2


The 300 year old all Saints' Church and the 200 year old manor house in the Village of Swanley. The church is in disrepair after Swanley Parish Council ran out of money to repair the failing roof, which has leaked for 3 years due to heavy storm damage.

Church donations and a online crowdfunding campaign have raised a lot of money, but it is still not enough to do all the repairs with, so the vicar has now requested help from the ministry of culture.

Question 3


The 300 year old Ironford to Benton via Brereton Canal in Swanley village's David's Basin, 1 mile west of Ironford. It lost trade to the railways 150 years ago and was made a tourist attraction 50 years ago.

It has also not been cleaned out out for 20 years and stinks badly in the summer. Fly tippers illegally dumped som rubble in it last year. Late night drunks regularly piss and puke in the river to. The local duck population has imploded from 22 to 8 in the last 2 years. The local swan population has imploded from 12 to 2 in the last 2 years.

Environmentalists want it cleaned out, the junk removed and have it made environmentally friendly. Canal boat owners want the dangerous rubble dredged out. The local residents want it it cleaned out to avoid flooding during extremely wet and stormy weather, like that which hit the area 3 and 6 years ago. The flooding lasted for 3 weeks and the damage was fixed after 8 months. The local drunks still want to use it as a toilet and vomitorium.

Question 4


The 300 year old Ironford to Benton via Brereton Canal in Lipham village's Vikki's Basin, 1.5 miles west of Ironford. It lost trade to the railways 150 years ago and was made a tourist attraction 50 years ago.

Late night drunks regularly piss and puke in the river to. The local duck population has fallen from 28 to 24 in the last 2 years. The local swan population has fallen from 32 to 28 in the last 10 years.

The local Residents' Community Association had put up a CCTV camera last year after a boat was vandalised. A local It was a key issue in why the 2 Lipham Wards on Ironford county council went to the Lipham Residents and Ratepayers Association. The local drunks still want to use it as a toilet and vomitorium.

Question 1


The 450 year old Barton Castle of Barton Town is falling down and needs an expensive restoration job done to it very soon or it will face closure on safety grounds.

The town is in the geographic center of the 540 mile wide by 750 mile long island. The 50 year old ceremonial plaque dedicated to this was in the castles' hightower, but has now been stolen by some one. Police have no suspects and no one has owned up to it.

Question 2


Barton West Station was opened in 145 years ago and then rebuilt 45 and 125 years ago. The passenger numbers fell consistently over the next 100 years. The station closed 10 years ago and was demolished 2 years ago. It is said by a local planning expert that it would be worth reopening after the new housing estate opens in 3 years time. It will cost a lot to rebuild the station. Currently a bus connects the current homes with local bus networks. Trains pass straight through on the journey between Beresford North and Barton Central.

Question 3


Barton East Station opened in 125 years ago and was rebuilt 85 and 35 years ago. The passenger numbers fell consistently over the next 20 years and it closed last year. It is said by a local planning expert that it would be worth reopening after the new housing estate opens in 3 years time. It won't cost much to renovate the station. Currently a bus connects the current homes with local bus networks. Trains pass straight through on the journey between Beresford North and Barton Central.

Question 4


The Barton Vale is rich in valuable mineral resources including coal, ironstone, clay, gypsum/anhydite, sand & gravel, limestone, building stone and silica sand. The exploitation of these resources have taken place for several centuries. There were several individual coalfields and mines in the Barton Vale from which several recently closed deep mines and an operational 6 year old open cast coal has been won.

Barton Colliery closed last year because it was mined out (all viable coal removed by the mining operation). Many of the miners have worked hire all their lives and can't or won't retain. The pit also directly created 75% of the town's jobs and indirectly created 5% more, mostly at the local coking works. The rest of the jobs come from the local 5 supermarkets, 2 major DIY shops, several dozen corner shops, 3 garages, the railway station, the bus depot, a open cast coal mine, a clay pit, a ironstone mine, a stone quarry and a post office sorting depot.

Question 5


Ben Shaw was a leading agricultural workers' rights activist. He lead a major farm and orchard workers' combined strike 134 years ago over getting a better purchasing price from food factories for their produce. His farm is still in use by one of his descendants and the main building are listed as an historic monument.

Someone sent the current owner a envelope with a dead rat and a note supporting the local biscuit factory in it on last year's anniversary of the strike, Police have no suspects and no one has owned up to it.

Question 6


Ben Shaw was a leading agricultural workers' rights activist. He lead a major farm and orchard workers' combined strike 134 years ago over getting a better purchasing price from food factories for their produce.

Ben Shaw Point in central Badgerton, a satellite town 5 miles south of Barton was where he spent most of his time leading the strike from his tent. It was open fields back then, but was built on 80 years ago.

The 60 year old ceremonial plaque dedicated to this was at Ben Shaw Point, but has now been stolen by some one. Police have no suspects and no one has owned up to it.

Question 7


Hugh's Bridge is 10 miles northwest of Barton, in the village of Milton. A line leads from Barton to the local stone quarry 2 miles west of it and then Ironford cement works after another 60 miles to the south west. Speeders and joyriders regularly crash in to it. Some of the yobs were either drunk or high on high on synthetic cannabinoids like K2/Spice.

Doctors and firefighters are fed up with dealing with the horrific crashes, locals fear being crashed in to, cops don't like the dangerous pursuits of the louts, United Island Aggregates hates the disruption to there busses caused by the near constant bridge closures and the Bristowe Island Railways Board don't like constantly having to close the bridge for repairs.

Question 8


Barton North Station opened in 135 years ago and was rebuilt 125 years ago. The passenger numbers fell consistently over the next 60 years. The station closed 40 years ago and was demolished 20 years ago. It is said by a local planning expert that it would be worth reopening after the new housing estate and shopping mall open in 2 years time. It will cost a lot to rebuild the station and provide a nearby carpark. Currently a bus connects the current homes with local bus networks. Trains pass straight through on the journey between Draketown and Barton Central.

Question 9
Barton Central Station after it's resent electrification and teenage deaths. Electrification of the Beresford to Ramsdale main line through Hepworth and Barton was completed in time for scheduled electric train service to commence between Beresford, Hepworth and Barton late last year and the section from Barton to Roachlake and Ramsdale will be finished early next year.

A fool did not install the security fences and cameras correctly and several teenage graffiti artists have been electrocuted on the line this year.

Rail and construction industry rumor has it that the horrific project overspend was caused by corporate greed and incompetence of a monumental scale! Police are investigating and have named several suspects including a top civil servant at the Ministry of Transport.

Question 1


The early 15th-century packhorse bridge over the River Hepworth, the oldest bridge on the island, is a few hundred yards from the village of that name. This year's flood and both the floods 3 and 6 years ago badly undermined it's foundations and it may collapse in another flood. Locals do want it made safe, but don't want it demolished since it's the only road access across the river several farms have got. The farmers also want some minor flood defenses around it to defend there field from the worst of any future floods.

Question 2


Hepworth's Main Road is little used by locals. The locals recently became terrified that a school kid or the crossing attendant would get run down and killed by speeders and joyriders from Brockley Borough and Bushford Borough, who think they can treat Hepworth like a racetrack. There are calls from everyone for speed cameras, shickianes and\or speed bumps to stop the hooligans from driving so fast. The headlines on the reckless driving in the Hepworth Journal and Bristowe Island Chroniclerare frightening to read.

A security guard and 2 cops now patrol the Main Road and will continue to do so for the next 6 months.

Question 3


Hepworth Station was upgraded and the line electrified year. Electrification of the Beresford to Ramsdale main line through Hepworth and Barton was completed in time for scheduled electric train service to commence between Beresford, Hepworth and Barton late last year and the section from Barton  to Roachlake and Ramsdale will be finished early next year.

A fool did not install the toilets correctly and they are now blocked and stinky.

Rail and construction industry rumor has it that the horrific project overspend was caused by corporate greed and incompetence of a monumental scale! Police are investigating and have named several suspects including a top civil servant at the Ministry of Transport.

Question 4


The 15th century Merchants' House formerly formerly belonged to the island's fish, wool, cloth, lamb, pork, beaf, sausage, pottery and clay merchants. It became Heporth's town hall in 1850 and then the local museum in 1950.

The local MP said that plans to replace some steps with a wheelchair ramp and hand rail "A stupid waste of money." in the Hepworth and District Journal.

The National Disabled Beuro and local residents held a rally the next day outside it in support  of the ramp and handrail.

The ramp and handrail costs BI£ 12,000 and the museum has a surplus after expenses of £15,000. They usually have a BI£ 7,500 to BI£ 15,000 surplus each year for the last 20 years.

Question 5


The town of Hepworth Magna is 1 mile west Hepworth. Some unrepentant dog owners still ignore the dog poop-bins and let their dogs shit in the grass. The place stinks of dog-shit and the locals hate the stink! The district sanitation inspector was stabbed last weak visiting the area and the local street warden was glassed last month by unrepentant dog owners. The dog owners are now doing 6 months jail time and thire victims are recovering well.

Question 1


The cost of renting stall space at the capital's Meadow St. Friday Market went up drastically for the 3rd time in a row. Brockley Borough Council say they need the money to maintain the area when the Market is away, but the market stall traders are saying it will put most of them out of business due to increased costs.

Everyone agrees that he NOx levels are causing the last 5 years' rise in asthma cases and must be reduced fast. Air pollution from road traffic is very high and asthma levels are very heavy. In areas of high motor vehicle traffic, like Brockley Borough, the amount of nitrogen oxides emitted into the atmosphere as air pollution can be significant and a major contributor to making acid rain, ground level ozone, particulates and the gray summer haze that comes down over the Bristowe City center at times. particulate matter (also called particle pollution) is mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air and it is commonplace in the local air.

Question 2


The the traders of the Meadow St. Friday Market's over-spill in both Kemp Street and Warwick Street, directly south of Bristowe City Center, has reported that the old buildings are dangerous and decrepit. The shop owners and\or residents are fed up with the near constant 14 year old battle with rising damp and the resultant moldy wall-paper. They also complain that rents and\or local business rates are also to high. Brockley Borough Council say they have too little money to upgrade and the maintain the 120 year old buildings, that were last renovated 60 years ago, prior to the rise of a series of notoriously wasteful or tight fisted councils.

Question 3


The The 30 year old motorway is getting congested in peak times, NOx air pollution is bad in peak times and some potholes are occurring in the tarmac surfacing to. The public, economists, ecologists, transport firms and transportation experts have several ideas including: a road toll charge, promoting the use of electric cars, adding an extra lane (with some difficulty due to limited roadside space) in boat directions, a park and ride bus service and banning diesel fuel for use in cars. The headlines Bristowe Island Chronicler about the pollution are frightening to read.

Everyone agrees that he NOx levels are causing the last 7 years' rise in asthma cases and must be reduced fast. Air pollution from road traffic is very high and asthma levels are very heavy. In areas of high motor vehicle traffic, like Bristowe City, the amount of nitrogen oxides emitted into the atmosphere as air pollution can be significant and a major contributor to making acid rain, ground level ozone, particulates and the gray summer haze that comes down over the Bristowe City center at times. particulate matter (also called particle pollution) is mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air and it is commonplace in the local air.

Question 4


Both the busy Bristowe Roundabout and the 175 year old bronze statue of King Robert Swain the 3rd inside it are tourist spot for the entire planet. A blackmailer has said to Bristowe Borough Council and Bristowe City Police that if the government doesn't pay him £10,000,000 with in a month, he will blow it up and kill as many tourists as he can! Bristowe City Police said no arrests have been made so far and their inquiries continue.

Question 5


The rundown East Benton Estate, 5 miles south of Bristowe City Center, is 175 years old and was regularly refurbished by Bushford Borough Council until 40 years ago. To save money they sold it to an existing private landlord, but his son took over 20 years ago and spent much of his earnings on lots of alcohol, gambling at slot machines and high-end watches.

Rising house maintenance bills, falling rent returns (many are now so poor they are legally rent exempt), the landlord's life style and the 5 year regional economic downturn have taken their toll and the estate has missed it's previous 10 yearly renovation and probably will miss it's next one later this year. The major storm that hit the estate 3 years ago dislodged many tiles and drains, but the landlord ignored and now several lofts are beginning to leak badly. Many of the Benton Estate's residents are also fed up with the near constant 12 year old battle with rising damp and the resultant moldy wall-paper.

Question 6


Beresford Town, 12 miles west of Bristowe City Center is getting crowded. House prices are now very high after 20 years of sharp price and population growth. It was a small town for 300 years, the a commuter town for the next 50 years and a borough of Bristowe City for the last 30 years. Building spaces are now low and the roads are becoming congested, but there are some spaces for a new bus station and shopping center on the site of an old car factory.

Everyone agrees that he NOx levels are causing the last 4 years' rise in asthma cases and must be reduced fast. Air pollution from road traffic is high and asthma levels are heavy.

Question 7


The 175 year old local park is popular and used by may kids, but druggies have used it as a shooting-up place for several years now. The cops are concerned by the local drug crisis and the local parents are concerned by the dropped needles. Beresford District Council installed some new spring riders, a replacement slide a CCTV camera and 2 lamp posts last year. Sadly, the slide was destroyed by a pick-axe wilding yob last month, like the old one was 2 years ago. He was fined £400 for it by the local magistrates court.

Question 8


Corrupt banks are stealing company money and the bosses pay bonuses are ridiculous high. They nearly collapsed the state's Bristow Island Central Bank and the privately held Islander Bank last year.

Insufficient car parking spaces, urban traffic levels and ultra high housing\office prices are all a major issues as well.

Everyone agrees that he NOx levels are causing the last 5 years' rise in asthma cases and must be reduced fast. Air pollution from road traffic is very high and asthma levels are very heavy.

Question 9


Trafic has slowly built up over the last 20 years on Drake street in Draketown, 7.5 miles north of Bristowe City Centre, due to incrased housing and supermarkets causing more road traffic. Everyone agrees that he NOx levels are causing the last 5 years' rise in asthma cases and must be reduced fast. Air pollution from road traffic is very high and asthma levels are very heavy.

Drake Borough Council is also proposing a low level road congestion charge on non electric cars both to deter motorists and increase there revenue.

Question 10


The poor quality of the 50 year old housing is causing it to fall apart since the firm that made them did a poor job, leading to the 6 recent floorboard collapses. Those houses on Blake Estate. were condemned to be demolished 70 years before they should have. Many of Blake Estate residents are also fed up with the near constant 30 year old battle with rising damp and the resultant moldy wall-paper.

The alkali–silica reaction (ASR), more commonly known as "concrete cancer", is a swelling reaction that occurs over time in concrete between the highly alkaline cement paste and the reactive non-crystalline (amorphous) silica found in many common aggregates, given sufficient moisture. It has been demolishing the interior walls of the low rises and tower block for the last 5 years (including the decade old moldy wall paper).

Springford Borough Council is also proposing a low level road congestion charge on non electric cars both to deter motorists and increase there revenue.

Question 11


Brockley South Station is in a dodgy state and most of it's usage is in the rush hour. The closed old station freight buildings are still present on the left. On the right is the Lidl supermarket on the site of the former railway station sidings that served the ceramics factory and former cement works. The ceramics factory started using road transport 20 years ago and the former cement works closed 28 years ago and is now a major  printworks. The 40 year old ice rink is still in site and open.

A fast-food shop will open next year in the now closed station building. A new area of platform will open were the grassed over peace of old platform next to Lidl will have several flower pots and a litter bib put in it when the area is reopened to public use next month.

Question 12


The poor quality of the 70 year old housing is causing it to fall apart since the firm that made them did a poor job, leading to the 5 recent roofing collapses. Those houses on Winston St. were condemned to be demolished 60 years before they should have. Many of Winston St.'s residents are also fed up with the near constant 50 year old battle with rising damp and the resultant moldy wall-paper.

Question 13


Blake Street joins Winston Street and there is an over full skip in it. It's been there for several years after the workmen finished working on a house restoration left the site! Some of the fiberglass wool blows out of it at times, it smells of stagnant water and rats enjoy eating food scraps that get chucked in it by passers by. The firm that owned it have recently dined it was this or that they did the job despite official records and several local witnesses saying that it is theirs!

Question 14


12 miles southeast of Bristowe City Center is the commuter town of Breakwater. The high street shops are closing due to competition from the out of town shopping mall that was opened last year. The main factor appears to be wider a range of goods in the mall at acting most of the customers and the skyrocketing cost of renting the ships eating into the shop owner's profits.

Everyone agrees that he NOx levels are causing the last years' rise in asthma cases and must be reduced fast. Air pollution from road traffic is very high and asthma levels are very heavy.

Question 1


The northern town of Baile an Abhainn, 100 miles north of Ramsdale, is dependent on road transport to connect it to the rest of the nation's rural north and north western village of Baile an Talaimh. Not many people have cars in the town or outlying settlements. It is also dependent on the railways for connections to the western town of Tref y Dyffryn and central town of Ramsdale. The railway firm says the rout to the Tref y Dyffryn is unviable outside of peak hours without a major state subsidy due to poor passenger numbers, so the number of trains will fall from 10x 6 carriage trains a day to 5x 5 carriage trains on weekdays only. The locals say they fear the station will close in time and that they will be cut off.

The M3 Barton to Ramsdale motorway will be extended to Baile an Abhainn in about 8 years time.

Question 2
The 110 year old Kashmiri community in the McDonald Hills, 150 miles north of Baile an Abhainn has lived in harmony until now. This part of Cúige Neo-eisimeileach New Caledonia is sparsely populated and very rural in nature. Someone has shot several cattle over the last fortnight. The Kashmiris say it is not one of them or the local Scots. Baile an Abhainn County Police said no arrests have been made so far and their inquiries continue.

Question 1


The northern village of Baile an Talaimh is dependent on road transport to connect it to the rest of the nation's rural north and both the northern towns of Baile an Abhainn and Sheamustown. Not many people have cars in the village or the rural north. The local bus service says the rout to Baile an Abhainn is nonviable without a major state subsidy due to poor passenger numbers, so it will be withdrawn soon. The locals say they will be cut off and the village will die. Baile an Abhainn County Council say that local taxes must go up slightly to pay for the subsiding of the routes that will be closed otherwise.

Question 2


The popular out of town shopping center that opened last year has lead to a massive increase in the Sheamustown's traffic, especially on northern town's High Street. The air pollution by NOx (a generic term for the nitrogen oxides that are most relevant for air pollution, namely nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2).) is higher than before and several people have been run over during heavy traffic, rather than just the odd nocturnal drunkard and miscreant child as before. The locals would like to keep the shopping center and would also like to see more level crossings on the main urban roads.

Question 1


Revolting farmers dumped hundreds of tonnes of manure and rotten vegetables on the streets of the southern town of Ville de François, as well as spraying a council water treatment office with slurry and trying to burn down the town hall as part of a major day of protest. The town was paralysed and traffic disrupted as the farmers on verge of bankruptcy vented their anger. The Préfecture Autonome de Nouvelle Normandie produces a lot of farm produce, so the country has a surplus and thousands of tonnes of beef, pork, fruit and milk are destroyed each year. A Fiscal experts say end both the state's subsidies and over production, trade experts say sell it to new emerging markets in other continents and the farmer's union say around 10% of livestock farms are at risk of closure, putting some 40,000 jobs at risk.

Question 2


French anti-immigration protesters in Ville de François. They do not want more Kashmiris, Yemanies, Libyans, Egyptians, Ethiopian, Sudanese, South Sudanese or Somalis in the nation. The Africans and Arabs have arrived both legally and illegally over the last 10 year, mostly in the last 2 years. Local shops are under stress due to high demand and theft by those who can't pay. The Dutch, Flemings, English, Cornish and Scots also fear a rise in thire numbers. The Kashmiri community has been around for 100 years and some French, Scots, Dutch, Fleming and English hate it as well.

The Préfecture Autonome de Nouvelle Normandie's sennett put immigrants rights to settle at risk as a way of goal of managing the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ and is continuing it's now 2 year old persecution of African immigrants.

Question 3


Over the last few years, ethnic English drunks are repeatedly roaming the streets of the southern village Ville du Sud town center during the summer nights. The ethnic French Villagers are upset by the trails of vomit and empty beer cans. They also dislike the intermittent illegal rave parties held in the nearby farmers' fields.

Many of the drunks and party goers regard the local culture as pathetic and the vast majority don't know any Metropolitan or Normaund French; they mostly speak Standard British English or Tyke. About a third of the villagers now Standard British English and a few also know Scots Gaelic and or Tyke.

Question 4


The Autonomous Arrondissement of Mons de le Wallonia is 10 miles northeast of the French village of Ville du Sud.

By the end of last summer, the Mons de le Wallonia local authorities said they would no longer registered all asylum seekers and said it set a quota of 250 registrations a day. Many Arabs and Africans already live peacefully in the town, but Mons de le Wallonia can't either take all them in the fullness of time in or do to many in one go!

A consultation document on planned immigrant numbers and a public awareness program, on how to understand Islamic culture were launched last month and will continue for the nex 3 months.

The sland's PM says politicians of the Autonomous Arrondissement of Mons de le Wallonia should be applauded for using their authority for the public good.

Question 1


7.5 miles to the east of the capital and 22 miles east of Bristowe City Center, is the satellite village of Frith. It has a population of 150. There is reports that the locals oppose the new 20 commuter owned houses built with in eye sight of the village. They fear the extra traffic and loss of local character, but planning experts say it's in a good location for road travel via the nearby A-road and the builders say there is room for 12 more houses later on.

Question 2


The 37 year old Riverend Court Building in the eastern city of Fordham has had some of exterior cladding fell off in a storm during last year and more appears to becoming loose this year. Fordham City Council say it's non-hazardous and only of aesthetic value, but locals say that their rooms feel colder and some cladding might fall on to passing people.

The 6 year old phone mast on top has been blamed for 2 cancers in the building last year. The old one was connected with no cancers, since non hit the building in that time or before. The town has an average of 12 cases a year for the last 10 years, including this year.

Question 3


The River Blackwater in the eastern city of Fordham is silting up badly with mud from upstream and is regularly used as a makeshift dump by both of the local TV factories. The river was canalised 56 years ago. A closed garage still leaks some residual petrol in to the water 5 years after closure and botched demolition. The river has also not been dredged out for 30 years and stinks badly in the summer. The local duck population has imploded from 25 to 9 in the last 2 years. Trout used to swim in the river, but they left 20 years ago after a chemical spill from the local paint works.

Trace amounts of cocaine, ketamine, prescription drugs and banned pesticides have been found in the River Blackwater's wildlife across Eastern Region. The research was carried out by King's College, London, UK.

Environmentalists want it cleaned out, the junk removed and have it made environmentally friendly. The local residents want it dredged out to avoid flooding during extremely wet weather, like that which hit the area 3 and 6 years ago. The flooding lasted for 3 weeks and the damage was fixed after 6 months. Local firms still want to use it as an informal dump. Everyone agrees the heavy summer stench of stagnant water, leaked petrol, excess natural sulfur compounds and excess natural methane gas needs to be dealt with quickly. Fordamshire County Council say they can not afford to clean it out for the foreseeable future.

Question 4


The River Blackwater in the satellite town of Brereton, 12 miles northeaste of Bristowe City Centre, is blocking up badly with crap since is regularly used as a makeshift dump by both the local furniture factory and several locals. The river was canalised 60 years ago. It has also not been cleaned out out for 20 years and stinks badly in the summer. Late night drunks regularly piss and puke in the river to. The local duck population has imploded from 22 to 8 in the last 2 years.

Trace amounts of cocaine, ketamine, prescription drugs and banned pesticides have been found in the River Blackwater's wildlife across Eastern Region. The research was carried out by King's College, London, UK.

Environmentalists want it cleaned out, the junk removed and have it made environmentally friendly. The local residents want it it cleaned out to avoid flooding during extremely wet and stormy weather, like that which hit the area 3 and 6 years ago. The flooding lasted for 3 weeks and the damage was fixed after 8 months. The local drunks still want to use it as a toilet and vomitorium. Local some local people and the local furniture firm still want to use it as an informal dump. Everyone agrees the heavy summer stench of stagnant water, human urine, excess natural sulfur compounds and excess natural methane gas needs to be dealt with quickly. Fordamshire County Council and Brereton District Council both say they can not afford to clean it out for the foreseeable future and blame each other for the failure to look after the river in recent years.

Everyone agrees that he NOx levels are causing the last 4 years' rise in asthma cases and must be reduced fast. Air pollution from road traffic is high and asthma levels are heavy. In areas of high motor vehicle traffic, like Beresford Town, the amount of nitrogen oxides emitted into the atmosphere as air pollution can be significant and a major contributor to making acid rain, ground level ozone, particulates and the gray summer haze that comes down over the Bristowe City center at times. particulate matter (also called particle pollution) is mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air and it is commonplace in the local air.

Question 1


The central town of Ramsdale is a major transport hub that connects Berresford to all places north of it except for Baile an Abhainn, Sheamustown and Baile an Talaimh. It has witnessed growing car theft, the closure of both the local automotive firms and the closure of a local primary school. The town's economy is in sharp decline and poverty has risen over the last 5 year. Most of the population is bilingual in Standard British English and Tyke.

The city's steel mill closed 10 years ago with the loss off 1,225 jobs. The other factories also makes some post-formed worktops, wall panels, particleboard, medium density fibreboard, laminate flooring, resins and lubricating oil.

Ramsdale Borough Council says the fall in local business taxes coming in and rise in people who are claiming rent exemption has hit thire finances badly. The council's fiscal shortfall has lead to the closure several of council run youth clubs last year. They want some sort of subsidy from central government to avoid either a painful high rise in local taxation the closure of the local council run old folks home. The lack of jobs and youth facilities has been indirectly linked by many, including Ramsdale County police, Tref y Dyffryn County Police and the Ramsdale gazette to the recent upswing in bored teenagers getting drunk and causing trouble in the city centre. Some social commentators and priests say that it is lack of parental discipline that has caused the youth to go astray and say that Ramsdale' inner city joyriding has been endemic for the last 12 years.

Question 2


The commuter village of Roachlake, 2 miles north of Ramsdale, is having a mini-crime wave. Ramsdale County police and the Ramsdale Gazette are concerned that mostly young youths are doing a lot of shoplifting and car theft. The Ramsdale Gazette has raised concerned that many are from broken homes, jobless, bored shitless and\or often high on synthetic cannabinoid like K2/Spice. Some social commentators and priests say that it is lack of parental discipline that has caused the youth to go astray and say that inner city joyriding in residential street in Roachlake has been endemic for the last 12 years.

Question 3


Barlow's town center is now choking with traffic due to the closure of the fiscally unviable train services last year. A near by local brick factory and stone quarry have expanded last year leading to more trucks and cars going their. The locals want traffic numbers cut soon. The rail lobby want the station reopened, but that would be costly since it's been demolished. The roads lobby want a bypass, but several local farmers don't want it running through there farm land. Some locals would like to see more busses in their town.

Question 1


A small pipe bomb was found in Trescothick's cathedral church of St Augustine by a cleaner. No one has confessed and no one is suspected by Kernow County Police. Who planted it, when it was planted, how the bomber got in and why it was made is still unknown!

Question 2


This years Trescothick Harbour Festival will be canceled due to a rapid increase in the population of phytoplankton or microalgae leading to an algal bloom or algae bloom. Also, some algae secrete poisons into the water. The production of natural toxins such as brevetoxins and ichthyotoxins are harmful to marine life. It has been deemed by port authorities to be toxic due to a fish die-off due to the alge's neurotoxins and the mass being so thick that is blocking out the sunlight from other organisms, and deplete oxygen levels in the water.

Trescothick's coastline has had trouble with it for several years now, but it has now boomed due to the mixture unusually hot weather, higher than average farm fertilizer runoff entering rivers that drain into the and the sinking of a bulk carry a few miles out to sea during a storm early last year (luckily no one died or got injured on the ship). It carried cars, TVs, writing paper, anhydrous ammonia (NH3) fertilizer, planks, ping-pong balls and ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) fertilizer.
