Back in a Bit

Isolated gripes

Living under restrictive Ministry of Defence rules, residents of Foulness feel increasingly cut off from the world…. The island is much the same as it was in 1915, when the MoD purchased the 6,300 acres. Whether by accident or by design, Foulness has been a unique social experiment for more than 90 years; arguably, it is the closest thing to a police state on British soil.
