Seems I reached a state of writer's block trying to write a scene with some inept foreign aid workers, so I've put that on hiatus.

In the meantime, I'm rewriting last year's nano.

I still need a new Conspiracy MacGuffin. If anyone has cool ideas for a conspiracy for me to ignore, please post here. I had a cool conspiracy involving presidential assassination but that doesn't explain why my (British) characters are interested and I'm not going to relocate them to the US since they're way too British in attitude. And It's set primarily in Bristol which is something that's much more important than a mere McGuffin.

What would make a good international government conspiracy?

Faked terrorist action - either resulting in casualties or averted, which is used to reinforce govt policy/win an election oh or reinforce a case for war :P

Anything that could provoke a state of emergency? this could be used to put off an election for example?

MI5 & FBI agents 'undercover' at Bristol University?

Bristol Zoo animals being used as drug/diamond mules?

Smugglers in Bristol Harbour?

There really are aliens on Earth?

oooh, I like the smugglers one! :)

You could back date this to someone raiding a recently discovered (& secret) old smugglers hoard in a cave in the gorge? Sounds more Famous Five than international crisis though...

Dammit! I like all those ideas. And none of them really seem to fit.
