    How will she lose her job?

    She is hugely unpopular and whether Brexit goes ahead or not, she will be gone as prime minister by the end of 2019.

    The remaining Cromwellian forces that have retreated to 48km north of Drogheda since 6 December 1922 become significantly weaker as a result of Brexit and all of Ireland starts on the road to becoming free from British occupation for the first time since 15 August 1649.

    I don't think anyone really realises the absolute carnage which is about to unfold in the global financial markets, this will make 2008 look like cakewalk. Governments will topple, wars will start and we are staring down the end of the era of peace as we know it in Europe. The EU will cease to exist shortly and the contagion will spread everywhere around the world.

    I had a reply written then deleted it in favour of links to some articles, for reference.

    The Irish rugby team will finally reach a World Cup semi final but will get knocked out at that stage.

    Trump will step down
    Dublin will lose steam a little in the football
    Liverpool will win PL but go on a nervy run of bad form beforehand
    Utd will get top 4 and make a good go at CL after beating PSG. Ole will be offered a permanent position.
    May will look to extend Brexit deadline. Corbyn will be challenged for leadership.
    An independent minister will bring down our government somehow.
    Another Garda scandal that the boys at the top will completely mishandle and "learn from" while the guys at the bottom will suffer.
    Steps towards decriminalising drugs.

    Any financial crisis that will affect the elite will be resisted at all costs (by the elite), they'll change the rules as and when they need to to preserve the status quo.

    Yep I'd agree as long as it donest affect them. **** everyone else.

    Yes

    Didn't ask about her popularity etc. Only way she is going is if she decides to leave and she will once Brexit happens.

    Brexit will get cancelled. I have a bit of money on it with a friend.

    Really can't see it, but the odds have shortened slightly on:
    'Brexit - UK to revoke Article 50 before 30-03-2019 and 'end Brexit'? : @5.5

    Better idea would have been to opt for 2nd ref market (peoples vote, not date specific), still no g'tee of this result, and may be based on soft or hard options only.

    Prediciton is she will hold on until 29Mar, but resign the next day, only for BoJo to take over a hard-ish brexit mess. Bo will of course make a mess, and Labour can win next election.

    Also a new cross-party party will form, with the sole ambition to re-enter the EU before 2030, Blair & Co will have their fingers in it.

    Many more relationships will break down due to internet addiction/overuse issues, which will gradually come under the category of 'neglect' in relationships and be highlighted much more.

    And the Daily Mail website above all others will continue to feed the anxiety disorders/mental illness of millions of people, making the world that bit more crazy.

    The gap between rich and poor in western societies will increase much more, particularly if we have a recession which the rich will use to make more cutbacks/ increase their wealth further. Taxes on the rich will further decrease, businesses and tradespeople will continue to evade paying their fair share of tax, taxes on PAYE earners will rise further, and the actual working/lower middle classes will come on Boards.ie to blame the welfare class for being the biggest parasites.

    Agree, 'gaming' will be the big one (see CD-11 WHO), Neil Rob', the young world champion snooker balls lad is the latest celeb to admit having done 12hr days on the playxbox things. Imagine this is on top of 6hrs billards practice.
    And the Daily Mail website above all others will continue to feed the anxiety disorders/mental illness of millions of people, making the world that bit more crazy.

    More likely it will be niche Guardian readers, many of whom are up to the eyeballs on antibiotics, flujabs and over-stressed about correct methods of mindfulness. Male readers also suffer from arterial hypertension, due to wearing ill-fitting men-jeggings and lopsided man-bags filled with tech, fitness trackers and beauty lotions/potions.

    Agree with this, two factors: i) massive global wealth shift to the East (Chi-Ind). ii) growing greed from the tax-allergic wealthy (who buff their golden personas further by 'xmas busking' or doing 'charidy C2/D2/E TV ads slots for donkey sanctuaries/leopards/yemen', preying on the poor).

    - Will also see the growth of 'yellow vest' movements and state elections results similar to Brazil last week. The French have already got themselves min wage rises, and tax reductions, just by taking to placards.

    By "mental illness," does that include transgenderism? The WHO debunked that.

    The last two have under performed. I am a Star Wars fan and I wont be going. Toys 'R' Us have gone to the wall and there are loads of star wars toys unsold after 3 years. The brand is failing but I wonder why Kathleen Kennedy hasnt be sacked.

    A dragon will carry Theresa May off into the sunset on June 7th but not before helping her destroy the entire city of London.
