Description
The Prime Minister continues to insist that all bots should be tagged.
Morg points out that every bot already has a serial number and that should be quite sufficient for identification purposes; and if all bots have to wear special tags, then so should humans. The PM won't have this; ID cards for the UK have been rejected by Parliament.
Morg then points out that the robotag idea is just an excuse for raising money, and that a licence of this sort for possessions is on a par with the dog licence abolished so many years ago.
At which point the pair of them give up the discussion. The PM storms off to his Golf Club and Morg calls a General Bot Strike.
From which point onwards nothing works ... People have got used to their bots doing everything for them - running the power stations, the transport system - and all of a sudden there's no power, no water, no rubbish collection, no - oh dear ... Shops shut, banks closed, computers all switched off; no web, no emails, no mobile phones. You can't even get a game of golf ... And Hyde Park is absolutely chock-a-block full of Chompers sitting on the grass and playing cards.
The PM's wife Lee (on the left) and her sister Lisa (with Morg) have come in to help the pair find a solution. They are naturally not well pleased with the way the PM is handling the situation.
You know, I can't see the robotag idea being adopted.

A very good idea and a beautiful image.

nice scene!
Fine scene and characters, Shaun - and an excellent idea for your little story. ID for both humans and bots! ;o)
Wonderful scene and characters!!!
Great work on this one Shaun love the story and image.. I agree no ID for anyone!!
Let's hope the ladies can bring some sense to the negotiations as this has the possibilty of ending quite badly if no compomise is reached.
Great scene!!
