Gibralter & The Falklands

As the economies of Argentina and Spain decscend into chaos, their governments try to divert their populations to bits of land whose populations wish to stay freel linked to Britain.

The claims of injustices up to 300 years ago could only be reversed by proving the change of the islands status would benefit the people.  Threats and obstruction and bust economies are hardly likely to change people's minds.

Would the UK had the power to ban British people for holidaying in Spain!

Cameras & Demos

The presence of a camera certainly enlivens a demo, be excessive enthusiasm for a football team of the burning of the Union Jack or Stars & Stripes.

I wish that cameras could be withdrawn when the demo reaches the boundary of excesses.

Water

Water is even higher up the list of possible world crises than food, but far les obvious.  In the UK it is already menacing us.  Meters should now be compulsory and better efficiency regulation is essential, perhaps some form of ranchising, which erodes the area monoplosied by less efficient suppliers.

Food Shortages and Obesity

Medium projections of the world population and productive land predict food shortages. I believe that some of this is over pessimism in the scientific analysis community. Land can with technological help be brought back into use. GM will help crops grow in less than the current optimum conditions.
Food waste prevalent in the developed world. This is a social crime. So to is eating too much and damaging your personal health at the cost of distress to yourself and the local health services.
