    For that to happen so many things will have to change. Here's just a few to illustrate how difficult it will be to achieve that:

    Money will have to disappear.

    Religion will have to disappear.

    Energy and food will need to be abundant. Which means...

    Our reliance on any kind of fossil fuel will need to have been consigned to history.

    true but Cells just talks the talk but would be appalled to have to walk the walk but he likes to imply that he has some imagery high moral ground

    To anyone taking seriously the Daily Express' claim that 12 million Turks "say they’ll come to the UK once EU deal is signed", the actual poll question was "would you, or any member of your family, consider relocating to the UK", to which just under 16% of those surveyed said yes. Disgraceful paper.

    Robots will make money disappear

    Artificial intelligence will make religion disappear (as consciousness achieved within material world)

    Energy and food - colonise space using robots

    Fossil fuels- will be too expensive to consider using in the end

    Whatever the solutions are (I'm not saying you're view is incorrect), they're not here yet and they look unlikely to be within the next 100 years.

    I think its getting closer than ever before though. AI could be a real innovation turning point and robotics will liberate Hugh manatee of mundane tasks so we can all become thinkers

    To some extent its already happening, in the Victorian days we'd all be pulling 18 hour shifts, now anyone can share ideas on tinternet (on the line lol)

    you have made it very clear that you are terrified of non white non christian people and want nothing to do with them.

    You have made it quite clear that if you give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters and an infinite amount of time, none of them will come close to producing the complete and utter rubbish that you see it as your duty to spout on a daily basis.

    Its the British Government's stated position to support Turkey`s application to join the EU. Make of that what you will.

    don't just speak to me only

    speak to everyone else and explain how you welcome unlimited immigration from all countries right now...

    It has got a bit personal on here and strayed from the point.

    Keeping to the title of the thread, it would appear that we do have a veto, but we may not use it. So ultimately having the option of a veto means nothing at all unless the UK public are asked if they want to use that veto. I think we ought to move to the Swiss model or similar where a certain number of signatures requires a referendum.

    No I am very much speaking just to you Clapton. You are unique, and not in a good way.
