tbh I think these technically already exist. they're proto-isolationist tho.

How would Patchwork stop midsummer murders? Village Green Conservative (VGC) patches: East Anglia Yorkshire Devon Derbyshire Kent What's the difference though, aesthetics as cultural foothold?
-
Agreement on a localised system of disintegration and a right of exit might stop people settling their differences with doing a murder.
-
I think that's an interesting idea. Though all the Midsomer towns are prefixed with Midsomer, so perhaps each episode is simply a failed patch? Many ITV-esque shows ran for 20+ years but remained in the same time (60s etc), perhaps their temporal stagnation fried their minds.
-
I think the Midsomer prefix is what makes them patch like. Distinct locations all part of the same county. A literal patchwork of interconnected but disparate locales.
-
Would that mean that after each murder each MS-patch is left to rot? 10s (if not 100s) of post-apocalyptic failed rural towns filled with Village Green extras acting out a recurrent script?
-
I don't think so. There's no reason why a patch would have to fail after a murder. Patchwork isn't a solution for stopping crime. Metaphorically, tho, murder can instead become exile (rather than exit) as perceived against the transcendental boundary of the county of Midsomer.

Yet from 'village green conservatism and mediocrity' came the most relentless, unstoppable wave of conquest the world has ever seen, rolling effortlessly over the sprawling deserts, jungles and their tribes. Anglo war is like Anglo capital and Anglo leftism: an unassuming Cthulhu
