Possibly, but the rate of change in just about anything has been exponential. Look at how far the phone has gone in just about 30 years - similar time-span. You say decades for driverless yet the technology can't have been much more than a pipe-dream that long ago. That said, the Docklands...

We do, but how? Who would be able to afford what we make? It's a given that Robots are the workers, not people. So we will certainly need a lot more programers. Here's a good insight: Construction industry must embrace tech revolution to avoid a cliff edge The construction industry stands at...

I doubt that, very much. Now you know where I came from let me commend the program to you. It started off explaining how the populations of the major cities, outside of London have seriously declined leaving swathes of empty houses and such, whereas London has increased in size and houses are...

Much better OG and as I am year older than you, I've been there too. There, for me, was Liverpool, about as tough as it could be I suppose? Anyway, through the smog and the poverty we had good times. We lived in a community, where people looked out for others. So, we can agree, things have got...

This is exactly the same argument you might have if we were, or about to, go the war. All manner of scenarios and 'what-if's'. Like a game of chess...

Must be me - what on earth was there to dislike/disagree about this post? Did you watch the program or do you simply assume that my mentioning of it must mean that it totally agrees with my position? It certainly didn't, I was disappointed / uncomfortable.

That's the plan - Vote Tory!

We've been here before of course, even in my short term on the Forum. In many ways inherited wealth has been sorted with very few individuals having the wealth you want to get your hands on. It tends to find its way in to Trusts and companies and that is perfectly fair - as long as whatever...

How the UK can lead a fourth industrial revolution JUERGEN MAIER Today we’re announcing the findings of the business-led industrial digitalisation review, which has been branded as “Made Smarter UK”. It’s the product of eight months of work, led by a team of UK CEOs from businesses large and...

At least you can't accuse 'them' of not preparing. Would be rather stupid to release such information to the public domain. It's only a series of what-if's which will give the negotiating team the information they need to conduct talks. It won't all be bad news, far from it.

Here is the fundamental error. Poverty, deprivation and the plight of the poor is essentially, and should be, the problem of the local government to solve, albeit with some assistance from National government. We, or at least I, don't elect governments to micro-manage.

Do you, or anyone else, have reliable, comparable figures for the level of poverty in this country. It's not good for anyone to be deprived (more accurate than poor I feel) but... what's your solution then? Explain please. Before you do that a definition of poor wouldn't go amiss either.

Well done, essentially my sentiments.

It could be called 'Tough Love' OG but sincerely, it is love and better still - hope.

OG I wonder if you were switched on the C4 this evening? The Northern Powerhouse. For me it was uncomfortable watching but it is things like this that I find important and in themselves life-changing. I hold little, if any, time for the do-goers in this world who think that propping up the poor...

I sympathise and I am obviously lucky in that sense but, life is not all bad.

If Brexit doesn't deliver... I really do think that it offers us our best chance as outlined earlier in the day. I also believe that TM, for all her faults, meant and said, the right things when she took office. The Tories really do understand compassion and want the best for all our peoples and...

Yes, there is something in this OG and I certainly do not like to see deprivation anywhere and in my little way I, along with a few others, do try to do something about it here in Dundee. I think I alluded to both the problem and the solution in an earlier post. It is all about Community, as...

So, tell us how would you describe yourself at this stage in your life? Cheerful perhaps... unlikely of course and whilst I appreciate that you don't like a drink, surely you don't expect us to think that this is normal conversation, not even for you.
