Quite riddled with inaccuracies. He's got his demographics wrong, if he was born just after the war why did he wait until 1983 to start work and I suspect Amazon will be quite surprised by the idea that we're all going to go back to buying at the corner shop!

And there was I thinking, we haven't had a Moneyweek thread in a while.

They're always good for a laugh in that sort of black humour way. A bit like the economic equivalent of watching Catch 22 or Dr Strangelove.

Having read this diatribe, may I - on behalf of every single retiree who has given up work in order to live for another 30 years - apologise unreservedly for ruining the economy.

I am going to the dentist tomorrow morning (privately, so no drain on the taxpayer) but when I get back, I will sell all my investments and my house.

Does anyone know where I can legally park my tent for free? Some place where I can dig a big hole and bury all my cash, while watching the apocalypse unfold around me?

.... large whines all round.....

HMV bricks and mortar stores outsold Amazon in the music department in the last quarter of 2014.

Albums are making a comeback too.

Yet another of these liars who claim to have predicted everything.

If they had some humility it might be easier to take them seriously.

Paul Hodges says:

I used to work with President Xi’s father in days gone by, and I knew immediately that he became president that he wasn’t going to continue the policies of the previous leadership

Wikipedia on Xi Zhongxun, Xi's father:

So do you think that Paul Hodges worked with Mr Xi:

1. As a Nationalist Guerilla
2. As a Communist Guerilla
3. Looking after civilian and military affairs in Ya'an during the Japanese invasion of China
4. Recapturing Ya'an from the Nationalists during the revolution
5. On the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party
