Cheer up a friend in 1979

Okay – in the next 43 years, 29 will be under hard right Tory governments, we will have a pandemic that kills over five million people globally including 200,000 in the UK, we will terminate our membership of the European Union resulting in catastrophic economic consequences for dozens of industries, we will have recessions in 1980/81, 1990/91, 2008/09, and 2020/21, average house prices will rise from £19,273 in 1980 to £239,927 in 2020, putting house ownership out of the reach of the young, Donald Trump will be elected as a one-term US President, a massive global refugee crisis will erupt across the globe, and we will ignore the burgeoning climate change emergency until it is too late to save ourselves.

Happy now?
