England and Wales will be a region of the EU, a federal state and superpower. Scottish independence from Westminster will look like a bit of a joke, since neither will really have much autonomy any more. Tensions on its Chinese and Middle Eastern borders will have pushed EU militarisation, leading to worsening relations with the USA and China. If we are lucky, we might have a cold war.

Every car is an Audi, and drives itself. Adverts plague every trip that you walk via electronic signs. Robots do all the cleaning. Will Smith runs around shooting things with guns, for some generic reason.

Isn't there a right-wing extremist forum somewhere or is Pistonheads the only place?

Spurs fans will be saying "this season we're definitely going to finish in the top 4".

They won't.

The entire financial system and then the government will collapse. Power will dissolve down to local communities and we will all have to chip in together. We will all be responsible for food, water and sanitation in the areas we live. People will have harder lives but will be happier as they are less complicated and more in control.

Either that or we keep struggling away as we are and not a huge amount of progress is made.

Halal meat will be uniformly served in all restaurants without alternative choices as the government continues to bend over backwards for religious beliefs.

Everything will be fine, much as it is now. I'll be very old, if still alive.

My son is mixed-race, my partner non-white and I risk a flaming but I fear Enoch Powell's speech may become prohetic.
Enoch Powell's speech became true a good few years ago I'm afraid.

This country 50 years from now? It will be unrecognisable if something isn't done quickly. It definitely will be no Great Britain!

Did it? Rivers of blood. Where was that then? From what I can see, most of the time, most of the people, mostly get on with each other just fine. A few s of all creeds and colours excepted. But that was always the case.

From what you can see? Try stepping outside your quaint village and into the real world.
