The Role of Women is interesting. Chunks of it are very un PC, but some of it does match up to a lot of my own experience.

I was viewed as an oddity amongst my social circle when I had a baby @ just 24 and many never got around to having any kids for whatever reason (usually, Mr Perfect was never quite as perfect as they required).

The adapting to a partner and 'getting on with things' rang a bit of a bell too.

I am guessing he is some kind of consultant for business.......but really wants to write books.
Got to pay the bills somehow.;)

ETA....Just saw he makes water features to pay the bills.

The 'growth' in the British economy in the last decade has been entirely funded by borrowed money. The general level of borrowing by individuals, business and the State has been at very worrying levels for years but there are many vested interests who want it to stay that way.

The Government, the pensions industry, the banks and big business all stand to gain by ignoring reality. After all when an individual borrows money it is sent spinning around and profits taken. More importantly everyone within the system gets their annual bonus. Recently the markets have dropped and yet it was obvious five years ago that house prices could not go on rising forever. A viscous adjustment was inevitable yet now there is surprise that it has actually happened.

The worrying question has to be why anyone is surprised and why supposedly responsible organisations like banks did not anticipate the inevitable consequences of their actions. The answer has to be herd behaviour. No one was going to stand aside when others were making money if only because the bank's main shareholders would never stand for it. A classic case of 'the Emperor's New Clothes'.

Does he post on here I wonder? After a puff or 2.

Interesting.....but doesn't allow for any positives.

Absolutely.

There are some frightening points made which can already be clearly anticipated, that's if they're not already happening. Some of them are 'unspeakable' politically and so we ignore things rather than face up to them.

I really do wonder what sort of a world our children will be moving into. In my lifetime I have seen this country descend into some sort of a reversal of civilisation and the indicators for the future are only worse as we head along our present course.

My concern is that an organisation which can produce such an incisive and damning critique of Western civilization, cannot also proof-read its own web site.

www.cynicuseconomicus.blogspot.com is the blog I recommend ...

I also agree with comments about the rise of China..

For those interested in escape, (demise of West etc) there are excellent and plentiful job opportunities in China, especially for British graduates. The Chinese see British Universities as the best in the world. Even without a degree, if you speak English and you look English (sorry non pc but tis the reality), you can get a job there teaching English -google it - you don't need teaching qualifications)...get a visa and go www.visaforchina.org.uk

Academic salaries in China same/more than UK, but cost of living there is miniscule.

I went to a very selective school, and all my friends from school (all girls) went to university, and more than half did post-grad education of some sort.

I'm the only one yet to have had a child, and I got pregnant over 4 years ago. Three of my mates are now pregnant, though (aged 31) so trying to catch up!

Why China? As was just said China is going downhill fast.

The future is Japan, just read moneyweek about grasping Japan with both hands.

The Yen is going up in value at a fast rate compared with other currencies.

What you said about teaching English is more true in Japan, you can get over 30quid an hour.

The future is brighter in Japan than China, easily.
