In England, the civil service made an eye-popping error after accidentally publishing a satirical poster encouraging parents to shoot their children if they suspect they have contracted rabies. The current issue of Civil Service Quarterly features the poster - produced by the fictional council of Scarfolk. The fictional town of Scarfolk was created by writer and designer Richard Littler as “a dystopian satire of the 1970s that somehow leaks into and reflects on current affairs.” Mr. Littler told Sky News he had “no idea” how the poster ended up in the magazine, although added: “I'd like to think a Scarfolk fan and/or cult member infiltrated the civil service - as my book predicts!” The Cabinet Office has declined to comment. (https://goo.gl/eXocjF)
