My prediction for the “meaningful vote” tonight

I think she will keep submitting it until it passes. I think if she resubmits it in a month, MPs will be much more focussed because of the ticking bomb. I think the Moggies will eventually vote for it, because although it isn’t hard leave now, it still means they can fight for hard leave at the end of the withdrawal period. I think hard leave/ “no deal” isn’t ruled out by May’s deal, and May’s deal gives them two years to prepare the ground, so they won’t be that unhappy if it passes tonight or next month although they’ll pretend they are. I think when they are in control, we’ll crash out on WTO and zero-tariffs for imports, no matter where they come from. I think this has been the plan all along – the Moggies only opposed May’s deal to start with because it was their chance to win leadership of the party. I think zero-tariffs on imports and Singapore-style low regulation, poverty-level wages at the bottom, no social security and high-tech extreme wealth at the top are what this is all about; nothing to do with Europe.

I think the shock to British manufacturing and agriculture will be so great that there’ll be pitched battles on the street. I think Good Friday will fall and the Republic of Ireland will restore its claim to the whole island and the Troubles will return. I think Scotland will try to split from the UK, and may even take to arms for it. I think climate change will increase poverty and disease and social tensions. I think that “to restore order” the jackboots will grab their opportunities and march. I think that 50 years from now people, if there’s any left, will look back at this period as the start of a terrible evil, the same as we look at the 1930s.

Climate change is real and going to be bad. Only the strongest will survive. Putin is determined to be one of them. I think Britain is toast.

On the other hand, by the time you read this, I could be proven wrong.
