The Draft Taxi Act by the Law Commission.

It will make you laugh, cry, cringe and moan. It will scare you in places.

A delightful mix of fact, fiction and the simply unbelivable.

The real beauty is, it will change and change again before it comes in - so you can read the revised versions in the future and never know the actual ending.

For fiction masked as non fiction, the Bible and the Koran. Similar in style ,they are both about controlling the masses
under an illusion of a sky god.
