Darned cockwombles.
You know England, Tea - overstatement and understatement for effect is what we do. No offence, but I certainly wouldn't be posting on Dissensus if the world was about to end.
Otoh, I feel like the world has fundamentally shifted, and I'm loath to pretend that anyone can predict the future with certainty any longer. Would Trump do something crazy later in 2020 to ensure his re-election, if it looked as though he was going to lose? I don't know, and I don't think anyone else does...
I think anyone in 2010 predicting the actual world order in 2020 would have been dismissed as hysterical or similar. Trump (yes, we mean Donald Trump) and Boris Johnson as president and PM...? Let alone anything else. The 2010s were an attack on the notion of competency in anything other than PR
