Been thinking about this a lot obviously recently. Apart from hoping that this is the year that I finally crack the 13 stone target and keep under it, I do think that we will see significant social and political change around the world in the coming year – which will affect how we all see the world in decades to come.
First of all, I fear that we will get entrenched in Afghanistan well and truly next year – it seems that the full realisation of what we have got ourselves into is only beginning to be appreciated in the last few months, particularly as we have moved ourselves away from Iraq and Dubya’s private war – to the main reason why we were in the neighbourhood in the first fucking place.
In that same region I predict that we could see some momentous scenes in Tehran, Estafan, Tabriz and across Iran as the Green Revolution takes hold and eventually takes down the entire Theocratic regime in Iran – it will be interesting to see whether or not Obama can continue to resist the urge to openly support the protesters.
Some things won’t change – the government will still be in power – even if it’s a different fucking hue of government – the bastards will still keep on churning out the same old, failed – fucked up policies which have not worked for the past 25 years and have allowed the ordinary person on the street get alienated with politics in this country.
and no doubt England will dazzle in the group stages in South Africa…and lose in a penalty shoot-out to Portugal…again.
