So what do we think the UK will be like in 50yrs from now?

[secreto]

I often think on how the UK will be in 50 or so yrs from now...
I mean, the last of the disciplined generation would be on the way out (Me Inc.)....The scrots of today will literally be out of control.
Weather - Will it be basking in 40c summers or a full on monsoon....
IS taking over....

What we reckon PH massive?

I will have had a telegram [?] from Queen Katherine by then.

Energy rationed because the idiots running the country still won't have decided that building proper power stations instead of unreliable windymills is a good idea, a return to everyone having to work within walking distance of where they live as transport will be impossibly expensive for most ( mainly as a result of the energy rationing ), food very expensive ( again due to transport costs ), our current hi-tech infrastructure failing as no-one is interested in learning how to maintain it as most students opt for media-studies or politics instead of a real subject. Feral gangs roaming the streets demanding 'respeck' though as they haven't learned anything since pre-school they don't realise they've done nothing worthy of respect.

And Boris will have deposed Charlie and will be King of London ( the rest of the country outside of the M25 will be independant ).

Or it may all be nice with fluffy kittens and stuff....

I never understand generalising whole generations, I've read about people in this so called 'disciplined generation' sh***ing in their hand and throwing it at passers by, just like some people in the younger generation doing some fantastic things, there's disciplined people and scrotums in every generation and there always will be

I can't understand people talking about this and that generation. People aren't born in great 25 year tranches and all grow up and old before the next tranche comes along.

I've a brother 13 years younger, is he a different generation? A partner half my age, is she? I've freinds 20 years older. The generation thing is all nonsense to my mind.

Anyhow, weather will be same as now, same as it's been for hundreds of years.

We won't be teleporting to places or eating pills as meal replacements.

Robots won't have replaced people or jobs and it'll take longer to fly to America than it foes now (door to door) as it does compared to 20 years ago.

People will be a bit taller, a bit fatter, a bit wealthier, they'll go on about now as a golden era.

You won't be able to grow a limb or organ but probably buy one and have it grafted on.

Africa will still be a mess with famine and disease widespread and the Middle East will still be volatile.

A person from now, if transported forward 50 years would slot in quite easily.

We won't be able to do that either.

Based on identifying current trends and then trying to extrapolate them.

I'll be dead. Don't really care tbh.

I find the undisciplined thing really funny. A case of rose tinted spectacles. The youths of the 60-90's make today's look like angels. Crime is low, there's nowhere near as much vandalism as when I was a kid. Young people drink less than we did, smoke less, do fewer drugs, get each other pregnant less. To be perfectly frank it sounds bloody boring being a young person these days.

In 50 years time we'll still be blaming kids for everything that's wrong, we'll still be moaning about everything lamenting the passing of the golden era that never existed. All the while we'll be getting richer, living longer and still fearing whatever the Daily Hate Mail tells us to fear. The demographics of Britain will probably change a bit but aside from that I don't think there'll be much change to society as a whole and nothing that I fear. If I'm wrong I'll just leave if I'm still ticking.

Well, if things go to plan you'll all be my minions and I shall be the glorious leader of the United States of Yorkshire...(a rebranding exercise that takes place after my rise to power).

The Daily Mail will be burnt to the ground and anyone associated with it shall be rounded up and made to play gladitorial sports in football stadiums against wild genetically engineered badgers.

Anyone who doesn't know the difference between lose/loser and loose/looser shall be tracked down and flogged on tv and there will be a giant catapult established on the top of the white cliffs of Dover for returning any illegals France "accidentally" lets through to the UK.

In addition to that fake tan shall be banned as will university degrees that are not based on getting part time experience in the field you're studying for.

...oh and everyone who doesn't have a job and is deemed medically fit shall either serve in the military for 1 year or be directed to the catapult at Dover, only it'll be fired at half power and you have to swim back to the UK to buy yourself another week to find a job before the process starts again.

JOB JOBBED!

This 100%, Sharia law (or elements of it) will be UK law.

I'm not expressing any pro or con opinions, but you only need to go to Slough/Brum/Leicester/Oldham/Burnley/Bradford etc etc and see how the population is changing.

Extrapolate this.

If I would still be alive, I'd be 94 and couldn't give a st. My children, though, would be reaching retirement age - assuming that's possible then - and I hope they plan for it accordingly, unlike someone I know in the U.S. who's older than me, has already emptied their 401k pot in the U.S and has no other pension provisions. They will HAVE TO keep working.

Same but moanier.
