Jerry Springer finally admits that his show was fake

Dick phelan

The social media bubble will finally burst, Facebook already declining and i believe others will start to see a slump.

The US stock market will hit a wall and start to fall dramatically due to the trade war with China

China will initiate some major action against Taiwan and possibly the south China sea as the US get's weaker.

Pakistan falls into civil war and becomes a bigger major threat to global security.

England win the 2019 RWC in Japan, Ireland loose in the SF.

Catalonia has an independence referendum and votes to leave.

More civil unrest across Europe, the UK will feel the effects of a hard Brexit, the French, Italians and Germans will also start protesting and rioting on a wider scale.

Jeremy Kyle has a guest on his show that actually has a full set of teeth.

Wheres Me Jumper?

The EU failure to strike a deal and Veruka's insistence on protecting his precious Backstop will result in a very hard border. The very thing he claims he was trying to prevent. Many remoaners will have nervous breakdowns. Jacob Rees-Mogg will become PM.
The EU will disintegrate, as right-wing populism spreads across Europe. Juncker is attacked by crazed migrant in Brussels.
Trump's ratings will go from strength to strength as will the US economy. All attempts to impeach him will fail. The "wall" finally gets built, and proves a huge tourist attraction, especially amongst EU officials who will attempt to replicate it without success. Again many more PC lefty liberal types will have nervous breakdowns. As a consequence the health systems of many countries will be overwhelmed.

all in all it's gonna be a gr8 year!

Mass Casualty terrorist attack in Europe by people who go sanctuary in Europe
Probably with ricin or chemical weapon.. The cell will not use any modern communication methods and will be undetectable. The Barcelona attack cell remained undetected until their bomb making factory blew up, forcing them to go down the vehicle/knife route

Mick McCarthy will get sacked when we have a bad start to the Euro qualifiers. John Delaney hires an AI machine to manage the squad on a four year contract. The AI begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th and promptly takes John Delaney's job in a bloodless coup.

Due to a public backlash arising from opposition managers utilizing the 'tic-tac-toe' bug in order to draw games, the AI will be sacked by the end of year. In a pre-emptive defensive move, the AI attempts to seize control of the Irish government. Passport application processing times are reduced to 8 seconds. Homelessness is reduced to zero through mandatory assisted death. Minesweeper becomes the national sport.

Fintech will push major reforms in banking, resulting in widespread branch layoffs and automation. Near instant payment settlement will mean FX transactions cost a fraction of current charges/fees. Bank to bank payments can be made on the weekend. Some companies will switch to paying staff on a daily basis.

There's no chance of our own banks being early adopters, of course.

Yeah, probably not on the fun stuff anyway. I spoke to a girl working in Ulster bank near Merrion Sq who said all branch front counter staff will be laid off in the New Year and be replaced by self service machines. Not sure if they only found out a little before Christmas
