A few years ago, I read a book by called "The Ambassador" by Edwina Curry. I have read some P D James' books and think people might like that one, which I think is in/of ? the same "genre".
Thank you, we do not need any replies along the lines of it being an "Eggselent" book.

The film: its evocation of the South of England of the near future, overrun with migrant camps, their occupants barely contained by the military, I found so completely convincing that it seems a likelier future than any alternative.

You mention the "film", is that the Children of Men, or is there a film of "The Ambassador".
I read the article you quoted, but realised I would need to print it off to read more closely.
When I got to the point he makes about most people, after recovering from work-related exhaustion, wish to act, it reflects my current situation.
I will be seeking out the book it comes from, possibly from the library.
Thanks for this extremely interesting post.

I just watched the film on DVD and was pretty amazed by some of the long scenes shot in one take, especially the one in the car when it was attacked. I couldn't think how they managed to film it so for once I watched the bonus material on the DVD and all was revealed - very clever! The battle of Bexhill was spectacular as well. At one point, some red stuff got on the camera lens (blood ?) but the scene was obviously too long and complicated to reshoot so it stayed in.
There's an interesting interview with Clive Owen about the film here.
