Funny thread. Amazing how some people are still in denial.
Yes if you sing "la la la" loud enough you won't hear the bad news.
Till it hits you of course.

What bad news is that then?

You're in denial yourself. you haven't got a Christmas avatar. You can keep singing la la la as loud as you like, but it won't drown out the inevitable Slade classics and Cliff Richard's christmas hit.

Fook me, did some idiot vote the tories back in?

No, they kept the Stalinists in.

The UK has become a surveillance society, closed to immigrants (existing immigrants have been moved to ghettos on the coast) and the ruling elite are pretty evil. Nobody (across the world) has given birth for 20-odd years.

Various resistance factions struggle against each other and the ruling classes.

If that comes to pass we're truly ****ed.

Thanks. No Morlocks then.

I'm having difficulty picturing that.

Nuclear ****ed? Zimbabwe-style? Soviet?

Or like in The Time Machine with Morlocks living in the underground?

Has anyone seen the film 'children of men'? Our society will look and feel much like that in 10 years time. On a bad day it already does.

The only consolation being that mainland Europe will be even worse off

No I haven't. What is society like in it?

****ed.

4) Gordo and Darling are pumping money into the economy.

I wonder what fertilizer they use on their money tree.

Indeed.

Yep, a sure sign we need to get the printing presses out. I just hope we have enough paper.

I don't think the UK manufactures the correct type of paper any longer, so we'd need foreign exchange to buy the paper, but we'd need to print some off first to buy some in.

Alternastively, do you think they'd let Brown have it on easy credit terms?
