You are spot on. A lot of dark money is behind this. Rich, privileged guys telling working class people they are looking after them. Blaming everything on immigration while stuffing their own pockets. The working classes eventually will suffer the most especially in case of no deal. It is literally case of turkeys voting for the Christmas. Lots of it is thanks to very right wing press like daily mail and sun.
I still think about Zorons predictions on this. Terrible financial situation and eventual breakdown of the Union with the Scotland and Northern Ireland leaving the UK.
These are dark times and I think will get slightly darker over the next few years where ever you are in the world. But the saying is 'it's always darkest before dawn'.
I think if we look after each other and stop 'playing the game' (where we can) the power can be taken away from the rich.
I believe there's a new generation of lightworkers coming through and these kids have extraordinary talents, they're more powerful and inspirational we could ever imagine. They will show no fear of 'authority' figures and a 'class' system just won't register with them. I'm confident they WILL change the world for the better. The world order is out dated and not fit for purpose. I think rich men know their time is coming to an end and they are using dark forces to try and prolonge their grasp on power. The irony is that the systems they've built will destroy them. Everything runs on cycles, this is coming to an end, we need to keep each other safe while this rides out.
I agree that the oilogarchs will be in for a surprise when a new generation rises up and renders the ultra wealthy irrelevant and obsolete.
Just because they’ve massed fortunes doesn’t mean they are smart. They know how to make money and that is it. Putin is one of the world’s richest men. He made it to President out of sheer luck. (read Gessen’s The man without a Face) The rest of his rise was out of pure Machiavellian evil. Mercer thinks that a person’s worth is totally equal to the amount of money he makes. DT is an intellectual and emotional toddler. Etcetera.
Don't forget that we're approaching the final stages of the crisis of capital. We're running out of resources that can be efficiently converted into money, while the architecture of our interest-based economy demands more and more resources, just like how a bonfire needs ever more fuel to keep on burning. The endpoint of this biophysical limit to capital creation will be a rapid deflation of the "everything bubble" that could leave our currencies worthless. So the oligarchs will just as well be made irrelevant by the fact that their fortunes will revert to their true state: meaningless scraps of paper and digits on computers. Likewise, any oligarchs who snap up British assets in the midst of a chaotic Brexit and recession really won't be gaining anything in the long run (there's no innate value in a 2,000-square foot flat in London's financial district, after all, only the value that society abstracts upon it).
How are people feeling about Corbyn and UK Labour now? Do we think it's a possibility for him to form Government? Also, I feel the Queen will leave her position within a couple of years, either something bad happens to Phillip and she decides to resign to look after him or she is mourning her loss or something happens to her, whether she is just done with it all or whether she dies or falls ill, I think she will step down, and I don't think she will still be Queen when/if she makes it to 100.
Hi
I don't see Corbyn as PM, but I do see John McDonnell AND Keir Starmer standing outside Number 10. It's nighttime and camera light are flashing off the door. I hear: 'We have been trusted with so much to do.' Within 2 years. After Brexit. They're smiling, hands raised in the air.
I see members of the Royal Family walking behind a horse-drawn carriage, dressed in black. September, leaves have turned brown and fallen off the trees. It's also bitterly cold for the time of year. People are pulling the collars of their coats up, as if protecting themselves from an icy wind. People are shaking their heads, murmured quiet, disbelief. Big Ben is striking 1pm. One of the faces on the clock tower is missing or blacked out. I hear 'Everything is falling apart.' 'Things aren't the same anymore.' The Duchess of Cambridge's face is one of shock as if this is totally unexpected.
I can't see who has died, but the odd thing is there is spaces in the street where people should be. Very few are turning out for this person's funeral, people looking at their watches hurrying to get home.
Hmm, Maybe it's The Queen or Prince Philip. They have been constants and comforts on this earth for decades.
Regarding UK Labour, do you think Corbyn could just not have appeared in your vision because he has already walked into Number 10 or is it more likely John McDonnell takes over as leader of UK Labour?
I don't see Corbyn at all. McDonnell and Starmer are BOTH leaders. Like a unity/coalition type party. I have a vision of the name Labour and it's broken up like when you drop a plate on a stone floor. By the time they get into power it's a different Labour party than we know now and it needs a coalition to make the government work. I shouldn't try to impose logic here, but I'm thinking that either McDonnell or Starmer will break away and join a smaller party or there will be 2 different wings of Labour. Smaller parties support will be needed to keep the Conservatives out of power.
I feel there will be smaller grass-roots parties than larger ones dominating in Westminster. Brexit will show that neither Labour or Conservaties 'fit' or represent the new generation of voters. And theyll just create their own parties.
Crazy visions, but we live in crazy times so I'm not ruling anything out.

I dont necessarily feel the same. I think there will still be 2 main parties, but I think the Third Way component of UK Labour will break away or will mostly disappear.
I am stunned.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Boris Johnson is asking the Queen to shut down Parliament for a few weeks ahead of the UK's scheduled departure from the European Union on Oct. 31. The move is aimed at reducing the amount of time available for rebel lawmakers to pass legislation to block his government from pushing through an abrupt split from the EU.
The Queen has the constitutional duty of opening and closing Parliament. I am stunned because I can't imagine the Queen could be placed in the position of basically making a no-deal Brexit happen or not. Does she even have an option of saying no?
Boris seems to have as big of an ego and Trump. What a huge power play. Now a group of MP's have signed a document saying that such a move would be considered an undemocratic outrage. Another group is writing a law which would block a no-deal Brexit.
I think we are living in the Upside Down of Stranger Things myself.
