In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

New show for historic reenactment company

The UK’s leading historic reenactment firm has unveiled its latest offering in their popular The Way We Used To Live (TWWUTL) performance.

The new section, called Ticking The Actual Boxes, looks at the long-gone practice of allowing the public to vote for who they believe should run the country.

It demonstrates how people would arrive in person to a public building where they expressed their opinion by putting a cross in a box on a piece of paper.

The practice, based on the notion that humans could make rational decisions, began to dwindle in the late 2020s as computers improved their own ability to take charge. It was finally abolished in 2034, despite protests from surviving members of the Boomer Army.

TWWUTL director Igor McGlinchy said: “It’s astonishing to think that democracy was still considered a workable option at the start of this century when it’s quite clear that human thinking is inferior to machines’.

“We hope it’ll entertain but also serve to show young people watching on their in-brain media implants that people just can’t be trusted to do the right thing.”

Screening of the show will begin next week on all major implant suppliers. Think ‘ballot box bungle’ to initiate.
