Survivors: Gordon Brown Cancels Election, Declares State Of Emergency
As a new series of the television science fiction drama Survivors begins we can't help but look at our increasingly chaotic, catastrophic, dystopic world and wonder is the show a post apocalyptic drama or a lightweight domestic sit - com?

I am sitting shivering at my computer terminal, the last human in Barnsley. (OK, OK, that wouldn't be so difficult, there weren't that many of us in the first place.)

Outside the frozen snow lies thick upon the ground. The vague shapes of abandoned cars rise from the drifts at the sides of the ungritted roads, pale ghosts of a lost civilisation.

In this blighted landscape nothing moves.

We don't know how many of us are left. The government's policy of speading fear and panic has done for so many.

To spread fear and panic they said 60,000 died in the big freeze.
To spread fear and panic the summer before they said 20,000 perished in the heatwave that was termed the Barbecue Summer.
To spread fear and panic they said 750,000 would die of swineflu.
To spread fear and panic they said the birdflu epidemic the previous year would take over 100,000.
Back in 2005, to spread fear and panic they said SARS virus would wipe out quarter of a million, how long ago is that?
The old ones talk of when the big fears and panic epidemics of the 1980s and 1990s, AIDS and CJD would wipe us all out
It is so hard to keep track of time these days, no television, no radio, no newspapers.
We are so weak, so powerless to combat fear and panic.

We keep a feeble and sporadic supply of electricity generated by having the cats running around a giant hamster wheel. If they ever manage to catch that hamster we will be finished.

The computer shows a date and time but what does it mean in this solitary existance that is post apocalyptic life on earth?

Occasionally a group of humans may pass through, desperately searching for food, for shelter, for survivors. We gather what news we can. Then we kill them before they can kill us.

Whilst the cumulative catastrophes have devastated mankind, one man has seized his chance to strengthen his grip on our blighted country.

As the icy winds brought blizzards, chaos and death to our shores he calmly remained in his bunker in Downing Street, oblivious to the wants and needs of the populace. He used the meteorological circumstances to his own advantage, cancelled the election and declared a State Of Emergency, purely so he would not have to relinquish the reins of power that he had lusted after for so long.

We heard tell his only challenger was dragged from his house in the dead of night and imprisonned in the Tower, subjected to the hideous torture of watching Gordon on YouTube. They say he went mad, and now lies a broken man, twitching, screaming and recoiling in horror from the demons inside his head.

It seems there is no hope for us now, for this man who would save this country, and indeed save the world, leads us steadfastly into oblivion.

Indeed it is a dark time, especially as the bloody cat has just caught the hamst...
