Predict what Britain will look like in 2066
As a Yank I'm a tad humbled that the US has been around roughly a quarter of the time Britain has existed. And while we probably won't be around to see it (perhaps your kids and certainly your grandchildren will witness the Millennial celebration) give your best guess as to what your nation will look like when you celebrate 1,000 years.

Going by present trends, at least 25% non-white and/or Islamic. Unofficially partitioned, with entire districts of cities off limits to white Britons and police.
The internet will be heavily taxed and "regulated" (censored) of course, and will have been for years. Several generations will have grown up with it, taking it completely for granted. The line between entertainment and news will be long gone, with a 24 hour barrage of sex, music, celebrity gossip and "consumer" scare stories. Ever read "The Marching Morons" by Cyril Kornbluth? |
I think humans will be even more disconnected from each other than they are now. I think the world will be even more overcrowded than it is now. Doesn't matter though as we'll be under 100 foot of water :thumbsup:
On the plus side I think canoe sales will Boom :thumbsup: |

Not that I'm into football (soccer) but I reckon many of my fellow countrymen will be drowning their sorrows because we still haven't won the World Cup again since 1966.:rolleyes:

Can't predict that far ahead. I can look back a similar distance of time and the place was totally different then and change is more rapid then.But on the whole things are vastly better these days though with certain reservations.
Everything has changed from the food we eat, our standards of comfort (I live better in that respect than the last King) and our standard of living.I don't any longer on frosty days have ice on the inside of my bedroom window and bring my clothes into bed to warm them up before wearing them! Or fetch coal in from outside to light the fire! |
Like Bladerunner; A dystopian cityscape where replicants and foreigners pollute and strangle the soul out of th... Oh, hang on, that's most places here in the UK today.

I really don't wish to cause any offence to anyone, I haven't got an axe to grind, but I merely state facts as facts, that in 2066 there will be hardly any white British people left in Britain.
It will be a Brazil with lousy weather. |
