Easy one

1) Jeremy Corbyn will resign and pass Labour leadership to John McDonnell.
2) President Trump will make a gaffe related to Russia that creates a real international crisis.
3) UKIP's Paul Nuttel will resign.

4) Queen dies.

What's yours?

The negative effects of the Brexit vote become more and more obvious, and Brexit supporters become very desperate to accuse new scapegoats to deflect the blame.

Hopefully the human race is annihilated in some extinction level event.

More Labour MPs in marginals or seats set to go under reorganisation resign.
The Lib Dems lose their deposit in a couple of by elections.
Article 50 is implemented earlier than end of March and we unveil a team of negotiators which includes expert Aussies, NZers and possibly Canadians.
Trevgo decides he's staying here after all.

The negative effects of the Brexit vote will continue to be a far cry from the predictions of the remain campaign and the foretold economic Armageddon will be revised down in severity again and pushed further into the future from 2017 to 2018. Any economic bad news will however continue to be blamed on Brexit regardless of other causes and all economic good news dismissed as we have not left the EU yet.

Southern Rail provide great train service.

Shergar found living peacefully in a field in Budleigh Salterton.

Trump nukes Scotland after being refused permission to buy Balmoral.

The Engineer will still be posting those repetitious Brexit doom and gloom threads.

Armageddon was a strawman put up by the Brexit campaign, just like predictions of WW3. When you repeat the lies, you are part of the problem.

What's yours?
1) Jeremy Corbyn will be attacked and killed by a moslem fanatic. Oh the irony ......

2) Donald Trump will thump Putin at an international summit. Well come on all you Hillary fans you know you want it to happen

3) Paul Nuttel doesn't do anything much which will be a shame for all you UKIP bashers

4) Prince Charles dies. Boy what a morbid thread ............

Armageddon will more likely to be related to Trump and his friends.

Brexit is a minor sideshow to keep minds occupied until the real S hits the Fan. But it could be a useful catalyst to continue to incite the rise of the far right into the mainstream.

Britain will go from strength to strength and Remanants will be heard mumbling, "Though I voted remain, I really wanted out".

Prosperity will allow Trevgo to sell his newly acquired council flat in Romania and buy his Tower Hamlets mansion back.

Nick1966 will drag up roaming charges yet again.

Several Remnants will die of misery or pedantry.

Article 50 will be triggered and negotiations over anything apart from who gets the paper clips will be over within a week.
We will not get £350 million a week.

Now you see, I took your first four seriously... then this.
IMF or the world, but not both surely?

Yep, there's no doubt that's what did for Call-Me-Dave and Gideon.

Spice Girls will reform, they'll be a third Sex and the City film. Corbyn will be a contestant on Strictly.

1. UKIP will hold their annual conference, in the telephone box at the end of our street.

2. Farage will become Donald Trumps valuable assistant, and, he will be sent to Moscow to thump Putin

4. Mrs May will trigger A50 in March, providing she remembers

Donald Trump will use the whole US science budget to fund the cloning of all his favourite dictators.

Theresa may will use the technology to reanimate Margaret Thatcher. Then along with Andrea Leadsome, Katie Hopkins & Louise Mensch will reform as "The New Spice Girls".
They will then spend the year touring the UK, telling the public what they really really want.

A scientific discovery will find that Russia is not a real country but an alien spaceship which landed on Earth a thousand years ago.

Corporation tax will fall to 0% with businesses claiming it hinders trade.
Council tax will be doubled overnight with the government claiming tax gives people an incentive to work harder.

Trump & Farage will release a cover of Ebony & Ivory which stays at number 1 for a record number of weeks...until Trump's fake tan wears off.
Then then re-release the song renamed as Racism and Bigotry.

In a bid for attention Gove releases a cover of Agadoo.

Boris releases Bat out of Hell.

The government will introduce a shoot to kill policy for anyone found to be homeless.
They will then announce that they have eradicated homelessness.

The government will scrap the term "child poverty", then announce they have eradicated child poverty.

A Tory MP call for a "shame" tax for anyone who isn't a millionaire and has therefore "failed at life".

A bank will announce that the banking system is about to crash, leading to more government intervention to the tune of £1 trillion from taxpayers. The banks will then announce record profits and pay out record bonuses.

Did you not read the Treasury report with its predictions of the immediate effect of a vote for Brexit? Or the reports of the Treasury, Bank of England, OECD, IMF on the effect of Brexit?
Predictions of financial turmoil and crash, recession, mass unemployment, etc.

As far as war did you not listen to Cameron's speech in May on the UK's strength and security in the EU? The risk to peace and stability on our continent.

Remoaners will carry on moaning and demanding another Referendum. Leavers will remind them who won and say they can have another one - in 40 years time.
