Toxic Cabal is a satiric novel first drafted while I had this historic view, but my first agent retired before submitting it :-(.  TC has been recast as a Fin de Siecle send-up of Southampton, NYC, a waste storage scheme, a wacky Independent presidential campaign, fashion models and greed - set against the backdrop of the Internet stocks crash of 2000. It features clever word play, witty characters, chicanery and what not.

Boris In Blunderland by DrewSalzen
1 part Complete
Boris In BlunderlandLewis Carroll detailed Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, then wrote The Hunting Of The Snark, an agony in seven fits. A few years later, HH Munro ('Saki') had, as his first published work, 'The Westminster Alice', in which he used the idea of Wonderland to examine Parliament with a satirical and ironic eye. In 2019, we had a newly elected (but not by the people) Conservative leader promising Brexit in 99 days, despite having no formal deal and a complete lack of support from Parliament. An elected Parliament going against the wishes of its people via a referendum. If nothing else, this proved that direct and Parliamentary democracy do not sit well together when the one does not agree with the other. How you might feel about Brexit pales into insignificance when faced with the farrago of lies, stupidity, lack of clear thought, and sheer arrogance evinced by all sides of the argument. So, dealing with these 99 days as if it were straight out of Carroll is not a spectacularly new idea, but it is one that is unfortunately apt. In these pages, Boris follows the White Rabbit, who May be leading him on, down the rabbit hole and finds himself almost by accident to be the new leader, battling the Red King Corbyn and his treacherous Knight McDonnell, trying to appease the White Queen and the people, being distracted by the Cheshire Rees-Moggy and Jojo the Dodo (who thinks she can be PM even though her party have been as dead the bird for a century), and trying to leave the table at the Tea Party where the Mad Hatter holds sway. All the while, the Walrus tries to seperate Caledonia from the farrago while the Carpenter - tired of trying to dovetail ideologocal joints that just will not match - cries softly and retires. A satire, a tragedy, blackly comic or just a bloody disaster. It has been, sadly, all these things and more in a land populated at the highest level by, it seems, nothing but court jesters
