IMHO, within 20 years China will be the global economic, manufacturing and development leader. The number of clever people who work hard and study as much as they can will make this happen. People rightly condemn the wet markets and some of the current habits of many Chinese but don't be lulled into thinking those stereotypes are typical. Most of the Chinese tourists we get in Hong Kong are basically peasants but they're not the ones from Huawei Originally posted by dannyboy1978 Hopfully a world that we don't buy Chinese crap. Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

I agree, but we can't expect Turkey and Greece to bear the entire burden for example in the case of Syria. Merkel has a lot to answer for as do the open border socialists who simply want more future Labour voters to pour in. Originally posted by Nicholas91 To take refuge is to seek the nearest possible place of safety. They are all economic migrants, not refugees. Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition.

Perhaps some from the following? ... house prices will fall, taxation will go up, pay will be frozen, the bankers and rich will be temporarily poorer but they'll still buy up everything while it's cheap, there will be more appreciation for the lower paid but society won't be able to do naff all about it so the poor stay poor, the government (or preferably someone clever) will have to rethink how the NHS is going to function going forward, there'll be another argument over Brexit, on a personal note, I'm asking Ocado for a backdated refund of my monthly 'Smartpass' subscription (cos they are ing useless!) and is there honey still for tea?
