I wrote the following 35 years ago in a book called The Health Scandal.
‘By the year 2020, one third of the population in the developed world will be over the age of sixty five. One quarter of the population will be diabetic. In every home where there are two healthy parents and two healthy children, there will be four disabled or dependent individuals needing constant care. Diseases such as blindness (which is ten times as common among the over 65s and thirty times as common among the over 75s) will be as common as indigestion and hay-fever are today. Unemployment will be normal. Stress related diseases will be endemic. Developed countries around the world will face bankruptcy as they struggle to find the cash to pay pensions, sick pay and unemployment benefits.
Resentment, bitterness and anger will divide the young and the old, the able-bodied and the dependent, the employed and the unemployed. There will be anarchy despair and civil war. There will be ghettoes of elderly and disabled citizens abandoned to care for themselves. There will be armed guards on our hospitals. Those with jobs will travel to work in armoured cars.
For years those who have forecast the end of the human race have talked of nuclear war, starvation in the Third World and pollution as being the major threats to our survival. But the decline I predict for the year 2020 will be triggered not by any of these forces but by much simpler and entirely predictable developments. The human race will be destroyed by medical ambition, commercial greed and political opportunism.’

Coleman saw so many things ahead of his time, which makes me doubt that "knowing the truth" would make any difference. By now there is nothing left but the warning, but no alternatives...
I read all of Vernon Coleman’s Bilbury Chronicles, and I weep to think how far those lovely misbegotten villager are from us. Dr. Coleman is a wise man.
Who is going to support the little peons on the DOLE? Not enough middle class left to do that. The 'immigrants' will just move to a wealthier country. King Charles is only interested in the GREEN IDOCY. And he inherited his mom's wealth.

I am still somewhat skeptical of the being too near the trains;-) They will most likely be used the way they were in Germany.
Especially true for rail yards I'd suspect.
Frederick Smith would know more, perhaps if he'd comment.

Dr. Coleman is the very best
"malignant, cryptorchid cretins" - a perfect description, Dr Coleman!
Moving is a bitch, I wish all the movers a good reduction.

Like all of the Royals.
Awesomeness. I hope Rothchild and their evil reserve leave as well
Moved to Malaysia many years ago. I won’t bore you with material comparisons but the sun shines a lot and it’s hot. We’re happy and comfortable.
Good place to watch the apocalypse from.
The Truth will set you free but it will label you a terrorist by the same people that want you dead!

Well surely, it is at least partially true, both ways.
