The United States - 2025
Gerard Baker, a Financial Times columnist who also appears regularly in the London Times offers the following column in todays LT: "Heavy taxes, a bloated state - we're marching down the road to serfdom."
It is a picture of where we will be in a decade or two if we follow the path of the British Labour Party. I particularly like and agree with the following (it is identical in the U.S.):
"Of course, underpinning, sustaining and nourishing this consensus is a new Establishment that holds the British people in thrall of its supposedly progressive ideas. Its stultifying and baleful influence is transmitted by the clammy grip of its three main tentacles: the universities; the "experts", and, above all , the media."
A brief bio of Gerard Baker, a new favorite of mine, is here. The perspective of a Brit transplanted to the U.S.
