    Apart from the bit about widespread use of nuclear fusion, it is quite accurate.

    My outliers:

    1. France to start to be mentioned in the same breath as Greece and Ireland.

    Gen, that's not an outlier, it's happening already!!

    The comments are funnier than the video.

    Some people think it's a genuine piece from the 50s

    17. A new independent Scotland will elect a new Housing and Immigration minister, an unknown "wildcard", a "Mr H McTavish"

    18. Scotland will embark on a massive house building program, and leap up the European powerhouse economy league table due to having 500,000 monthly arrivals

    :D

    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    I predict that England will finish 2014 better at cricket than they started it. Shouldn't be too difficult. Effing awful...

    It only mentions experimental fusion plants rather than widespread use. It does also mention 'intelligent' windows, glowing walls, the demise of the car and its replacement with autopiloted flying vehicles, underground houses, colonisation of both the moon and the oceans, household appliances powered by batteries made from radioactive material, robotic house maids and fully automated kitchens which make all your food for you.

    He did predict skype though so he didn't get it all wrong.
