Probably.
Maybe.

No.
But the minority white will be out of control in their rights, so is that a bad thing?
Surely now white person is the minority, maybe the first Asian PM is in the majority?
Why am I still reading this tract of stupid?
Bad muslims becoming the majority and making their religion top.
Benefits will have to be slashed, working for nothing though makes no sense.
Will never happen, unless they are capable of doing the job.
No.
No.

In schools.
Really? Let's hope it was a nut allergy, fat, salt and sugar, gluten free, halal sandwich on healthy wholemeal bread and it came from a low carbon footprint refrigerator using locally sourced ingredients and the knive you used to cut it with was properly sold to you as an adult just in case you happened to allow it to be handled by a minor or else you could sue them for some serious compo.
Rising sea levels
Riots and wars over food and water
Worsening pollution
Huge refugee crises
WMD terrorist strikes on Western cities
Civil unrest
Increase in secure residential compounds
China emerging as the world's only superpower
I think that's a given.
When you're chewing on life's gristle don't grumble, give a whistle and this'll help things turn out for the best..
Altogether now............
They'll stop fitting "Indicators" to cars as people don't use them.
