Tired of red tape tying up his cut-price care homes in Thailand, failed union demagogue Arnie Ratledge takes to the high seas. Launching hugely cost effective care-home ships for the elderly, he cunningly taps into the fashion for green energy, and takes it one stage further: milking what little energy the old have left. And when they die, there's A Drop in the Ocean for each corpse. Even the fish are happy with the whole cheap-as-chips operation. With his trademark ground-breaking humour, Maurice Jones strips bare the madness at the heart of 21st century fads while giving political correctness a mighty shove towards the dustbin of history.

Rick Wakeman: "There have always been certain 'careers' that have fascinated the public, newspapers, and the media in general. Such include musicians, actors, sportsmen, police, and not surprisingly, the people who give the police their employment: The criminal. For the man in the street, all these careers have one thing in common: they are seemingly beyond both his reach and, in many cases, understanding and as such, his only association can be through the media of newspapers or television. The police, however, will always require the services of the grass, the squealer, the snitch, (call him what you will), in order to assist in their investigations and arrests; and amazingly, this is the area that seldom gets written about."
