Predict what Britain will look like in 2066

**Immy** · September 30th, 2012, 10:51 PM

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?

Why does everyone´s vision of the future have to be Dystopian?
Perhaps it is years of conditioning by the cinema industry! It does not have to be all George Orwell or Aldous Huxley´s vision.

Me I see Britain in a hundred years as a state of the United Federation of Europe, along with it´s major trading partner, Russia.
I also envisage a world in which there is no conflict, because the Greater World Government based in Australia has conquered poverty in the once poorer countries formerly referred to as -Third World.

Mind I do believe in Fairies, UFO´S, Big foot, & the Bogeyman.

It will happen if nobody starts to realise the problems caused by a global runaway population and no action is taken.

This picture seems to be very nice.

40'000 years ago there were huge glaciers and look-like Siberian vegetations all over Europe.
Now with the climate change, we don't exactly know what will be Europe in the future.

Thanks to the recent stability of the climate and improvement of hygiene, our European population grew from 1 million to 600 millions in Europe in few thousands years.
Think about 600 millions Europeans who will have to move because they won't have enough food and water.
That's the risk with the climate change (warming or freezing).
When the next generations will have to move, they will not move with their houses on their back and not sure that they will be very welcome in the best areas on this planet.

If people would stop migrating to and congregating in shitty urban jungles that are full of criminals and losers bent on providing moral decay, thus making for an intolerable life for millions, people would be a lot better off.

On second thought, maybe best to keep them away from me.

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

On the plus side I think canoe sales will Boom

Could cure unemployment - you'll need a gazillion people and machines to construct levees and sea defenses

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.
