Predictions for next year

Two more good woodland runs in the last 3 days, cold and wet respectively, as the year draws to a dreary end.
On a not especially brighter note, here are some of my predictions for what will be big in 2012:
  • Further financial recession (but maybe less materialism ?)
  • but more right-wing extremism (as the going gets tough, liberalism gets flabby).
  • US presidency (nail-biting choice between the disappointing and the appalling).
  • UK republican movement - (have you seen that barge ? ).
  • Scottish independence (ref) (but Alex, lose some weight – we need you healthy).
  • Global warming & climate change (it’s only going to get worse).
  • More self-destructive squabbling within the UK coalition government, & dithering by Labour, creating opportunities for the Greens as well as the SNP.
