I usually have a pretty fair prognosticatory record on the Forum, so here goes:
Boru's Official Predictions For 2019
1. A European crisis will be precipitated when Ukraine is invited to join NATO.
2. Donald Trump will bow to pressure from within the Republican party and resign from office.
3. Worldwide recession, longer lasting but not as severe as the last one.
4. Steve Carrell will be nominated for an Academy Award for 'Welcome to Marwen'.
5. Mick Jagger dies, stunning people who thought Keith Richards would go first.
6. In the wake of Brexit, a 'hard' border reappears between Northern Ireland and the Republic, sparking a resurgence of paramilitary activity.
7. Massive spike in oil prices, due largely to increased Russian influence (and decreased USian) in the Middle East (exacerbates Prediction #3).
8. Beginnings of a pan-African coalition.
9. Star Wars: Episode IX will be a critical and commercial disaster.
10. HUGE improvement in battery technology both for vehicles and household power.
