Tehran gets a hammering by isle of wight artist tony trowbridge

As the smoke clears it becomes obvious there is not a lot standing around the business centre of Iran's capital after three days of persistant fighting.

Both Iranian shock troops and pesky civilians have now been cleared from the area and the exciting job of looting can now begin.

All gold and precious stones are shipped back for the western governments war effort all other spoils go to the troops on the ground.

Its always an exciting time after such a big prize has fallen.

As yet the Iranian military leaders have not been found, but when they are caught and found guilty of heineous war crimes they will be subjected to the same remorseless strategy as thier foot soldiers. They will be turned into CCTV Bot's.

CCTV bot watches the battle commence in Middle East confrontation : Futureshock extract from Graphic novel by Isle Of Wight Artist Tony Trowbridge.

A CCTV Bot surveys the battlefront, getting an overview of the days fighting in one of the lesser known provinces in Iran.
All the information is streamed directly back home to the hungry watching populace there is no editing or cutting, everything is seen in real time.
This might be contemptuously naive of me but I feel we have regressed back to a time of the Roman Empire and the gladiatorial mayhem so heartily supported by the ignorant lead masses.

Futureshock: synopsis of story line so far by Isle of Wight Artist Tony Trowbridge.

8 years have passed the future looks bleaker than ever.
Our troops are now fighting all over the Middle East....Trying to stabilize huge areas of the Muslim Empire.
Oil reserves are weakening and the West needs more and more of the black gold.
The veneer of helping the Eastern civilizations has crumbled, it is now obvious the West wants to conquer, open hostility to bring democracy to the billions of non christians.
Eager to win....Massive scientific breakthoughs in medicine and robotics have enabled the West to build new revolutionary hybrid CCTV Bots. Built from dead, crippled and foreign fighters these cctv bots feed the hungry watching world up to the second news at the battlefront.
every death, every painful experience, every atrocity is downloaded directly into every home around the world. You can now watch your son, father, mother, daughter, friend or foe live and die just by pressing the Red Button on your remote.

At home our streets have been cleaned up by Police Bots and CCTV Bots, they patrol and watch everybody and everything.
Any wrongdoing is reported and the crime punished automatically either through immeadiate fining straight from your compulsory government bank account to registering for community service and jail sentancing. Some crimes are so severe they are punishable by serving time in a penal regiment on the front line somewhere in the Middle East.
Again you can watch the untrained criminal of your choice live and die by Pressing The Red Button on your Remote.
