The future is here and it's scary

Here is a vision of a future world. Three tribes share a verdant land of fields and windfarms, watched over by police on every corner.

The decision-makers reside in a palatial white resort behind a fence of steel and barbed wire. The scribes - identified by yellow tags around their necks - faithfully report every word from their Legoland-style homes just outside the barricades. A third, scruffy and colourful clan of ordinary people are herded by police into tent cities, where they bang drums, ride bicycles and march against the decision-makers who they say have no legitimacy.
