If a left leaning newspaper wrote an article (note I don't say reported because that implies 'news' which the article in the Daily Mail obviously wasn't) where someone mentioned Wokingham was planning to demolish all houses except detached with a minimum of 5 bedrooms and introduce a minimum income to qualify for residence while at the same time ban any religions other than 'white' religions, most of us would laugh at it for what it was. The sad thing is some of the target audience of the paper would believe every word of it and for evermore keep trotting it out as fact.

I think your 90 year prediction will turn out as woefully wrong as Enoch Powell's 15 or 20 years and Old Boys 10 years.
