What do you call the opposite of gentrification?
I do hope it doesn't catch on, London is becoming quite a nice place to be - I've even spent time on the wrong side of the knitting blog lately.
Chavication?

The data is supplied by the Economist - they're the experts that didn't give fair warning of the 2008 financial crash.
Disinformation is what they do.
It's 50% owned by the Rothschild that's all you need to know
Weathermen got the hurricane wrong in 90's but I still look at the weather forecast- I think the Economist if a fine publication and one of the most unbiased for reporting on News (their bias is free market rather than right and left). They have a wide range of contributors some I agree with some I disagree with.The data is supplied by the Economist - they're the experts that didn't give fair warning of the 2008 financial crash.

Like so many so called EXPERTS then.
There a common misunderstanding that facts actually exist. Even in the physical sciences which you think will be very black and white, there's still a lot of opinion informed by data.
Social science, including economics, is often called 'slow journalism'. 'Experts' just look at past data and predict future trends. It is very much finger in the air stuff.
Basically experts are far more fallible than the public assumes, though they do tend to be bound be standards of rigour and integrity in their work (which journalists aren't really anymore).
Not having that - the majority of time the economy will follow semi-predictive patterns, the experts have models and insight to recognize what this will be. Asking your Nan and the Governor of BOE how the economy will progress inn the next 5 years, yes they are both opinions but one will and should hold a lot more weight. Everyone will have their agenda that's why you look for consensus, where there is no consensus then you look at risks and likely hood of things occurring.Fair point, but experts are just the same as anyone else, we all have our opinions ( some may call them agendas) which they
are going to highlight in their findings.

Do you believe in man made climate change or this an opinion with an agenda?
Aside from Japan (very little natural immigration) and Belgium (very little demand for immigration) aren't we by far the smallest country on that list?

In addition to that all those clever people (with a few exceptions) working for the major investment banks (Market knows best and all that jazz) also completely missed the possibility of the crash.
To highlight the Economist for not giving fair warning is a bit obtuse, they are a in essence a newspaper. There are a whole heap of institutions who's job it was to warn (they may be economists but not the Economist) you should be focusing that on.
Some interesting thoughts there. I certainly do think your point about tribalism can hold true many times across the world over; religion and access to resources playing key roles.
BUT when discussing the attempts to interlink and globalize ask yourself:
- Are these attempts happening organically or being 'forced'?
- WHO is driving these attempts and for what purposes and for WHO's benefit?
I get how the quotas work, but for the life of me I can't comprehend why we'd put quotas on beef imports.It's a bit heavy going but this on the WTO and quotas may be of interest to some (@Gutter Boy @scaramanga )

Yes, and further, I'd be happy with one united planet earth under one democratic govt
It's inevitable, we might as well get on with it
Not inevitable at all (unless you want more wars, some racial groups wiped out etc), but thanks for the entertainment anyway
yeah, the whole point of that is there won't be any wars as we'll have realised we aren't actually different
a single racial group is the logical evolution of the human race
More lols...so what exactky will this "single racial group" be exactly in this new world of yours?
Why not just drop the quotas?I think that the article was written before Fox's statement yesterday and was arguing that all of our current schedules would need to be resolved before we could settle our own position with the WTO and that other countries were likely to raise objections for their own gain.
Fox said yesterday that it was the government's intention to transpose the current EU schedules when we depart. I don't think this changes the need to untangle ourselves from the current quotas but it would leave us with a load that we wouldn't need and block us negotiating new ones that we may want.
Why not just drop the quotas?
I had to indulge myself to a little smile when I read "the EU puts its members first", but of course all politicians and admin staff of that fine organisation are selfless.
