30 years if we get it right!
That's something to look forward to then...
If we are really really lucky it might happen in time for my 80th birthday!

My own view is that the post WW II American hegamony which spawned the current face of globalised stupidity is. like all socio-political power groups on its down curve to self-destruction.
Unlike the days of empire in Grecian and Roman times, timescales have telescoped only because of the instantaneous nature of modern communication.
Fairly obviously, the future power cliques will be based in the Far East: and they will not pussy foot around in solving any matters of disidence and social insurrection.
Tibet, perhaps, provides an excellent example of the future!

Not for us. I think that you underestimate the British tenacity in the face of real adversity. At the moment we are generally pissed off and tired with the somewhat manufactured and distorted muslim threat.
The threat is not from 'terrorists' but from colonisation. However, our governmental 'masters', aka wankers, daren't talk in those terms for fear of upsetting overly-and-deliberately-sensitive, politically-motivated, Islamo-fascist, multi-culti dark-age invaders.
Once the threat becomes truly apparent then the great British public (and that does not include first, second or third generation Asian immigrants) then we may just see the destruction of mosques and the beginning of an exodus.
If not, then we will ourselves be part of an exodus as the country, piece by piece, succumbs to the colonists and their repugnant 'culture' of mass and in-breeding.

When I mentioned Tibet, Tony, I meant the way the Chinese, for example, will react to civil insurrection.
Robustly!
Whilst I would like to agree with your forecast about the white moral army, sadly, I fear that the UK is already past the tipping point of reaction.
As long as ALL UK mainstream political parties buy in to the multiculturalism myth, then they have the controlling power of law and the forces of law at their disposal.
Whilst the GU can consume their usual and preferred panadyne of football, celebdom, soaps and copious nightly draughts of chemical lager to insulate their conscious from reality, then any potential militancy will be anaesthetised.
In any case, the influx of foreign cultures into the UK, whilst unpalatable, and socially divisive, is not terrorism, per se, despite the reality that it has caused a modicum of terrorism as an adjunct.
And on this subject of changing culture, watch the last White Season BBC film I commented upon elsewhere, unless you have already seen it.
An interesting snapshot of the UK's future!

Interesting piece that highlights the difficulty of defining 'the problem':
Even defining the conflict is problematic. US President George W Bush dubbed it the "war on terror".
Others now prefer to call it a "global insurgency". Still others think that term is not quite right either.
Ideological struggle
But whatever it is, it is posing a whole host of dilemmas for those who are fighting it.
Above all, this new war is being fought, not just on the battlefield, but in the mind.
The West and its Islamist adversaries are competing for Muslim opinion - and that means Muslim opinion in Birmingham and Jakarta, as well as Baghdad and Kabul.
So in this battle for hearts and minds, how do you protect law-abiding Muslims, while continuing to capture or kill the violent ones?
And can you be sure you can tell the difference?
One British defence expert remarked: "We're not looking for a needle in a haystack - we're looking for a piece of straw in a haystack."
Perhaps Geert Wilders'anti-Islam short film, "Fitna", will have the positive effect of forcing people to take sides out in the open.
...what a classic!
"piece of straw in a haystack" - very true.

"We haven't killed innocents, not in Baghdad, nor in Morocco, nor in Algeria, nor anywhere else," he told a questioner identified as an Algerian medical student. "And if there is any innocent who was killed in the mujahideens' operations, then it was either an unintentional error or out of necessity."
He's not very good at lying is he? What a moron!
Gilles de Kerchove, European counter-terrorism co-ordinator, has asked British, French, Spanish, German and other European security services to pool their intelligence through Brussels' strategic analysis unit, the Joint Situation Centre, to produce a report by the autumn.
Sounds like something out of Captain Scarlet!
I suppose that's about right, not a lot to differentiate puppets and muppets!
Ban the burka and halve the problem.
