Making Wales Great Again

<p><strong>Welcome to a world where:</strong><br /><br />•Nigel Farage is sharing a static caravan with Liberace in Fishguard.<br />•Swansea roadwork has been granted UNESCO World Heritage Status.<br />•Donald Trump was radicalised at a holistic therapy centre in Llanpumsaint.<br />•Kim Jong-un is funding a Godzilla nursery in Swansea Bay.<br />•Swansea council are developing a marauding Orc army to combat the<br />threat from Taekwondo Godzillas.<br />•Banksy has been harpooned out of his car by Subway staff.<br />•The Welsh space program is being run by Vampire Elvis.</p><p><strong>The Notsogreatdictator says…</strong></p><p>I’m fascinated by fake news and by using real people as fictional characters. I also like the development of these fictional worlds over time. There’s fun to be had in the challenge of fitting rapidly changing news events into a narrow world with strict constraints. </p><p>Liberace/Donald Trump and Nigel Farage sharing a static caravan in Fishguard is something which brings global events right down to earth with a bump. The idea of UNESCO awarding world heritage status to a particularly long-standing system of roadworks hopefully makes people less stressed out about their first world problems.</p><p>It’s been great fun creating fictional worlds out of real events which I suppose is what all writers do. If I’m honest Kim Jong Un paying for Swansea’s Tidal Lagoon so he can use it as a Godzilla nursery has been my favorite story line so far but then I love a bit of sci-fi. </p>
