     T he way I see it there are 2 competing forces in the world to day for world domination. the first is the United Nations , the developer of agenda 21 , and seeker of a consolidated world power structure often referred to as The New World Order;  The 2nd is The People's Republic of China.  China's GDP grew from $150 billion in 1978 to $12.24 trillion by 2017 and also seek world domination through their fast growing power structure.  China is regularly hailed as a " potential" new superpower , with certain commentators citing its rapid economic progress, growing military might, very large population, and increasing international influence as signs that it will play a  prominent global role  in this,the 21st century.

Theresa May’s government decided that Britain’s ever-increasing trade deficit was a luxury that the UK, as an independent nation, could no longer afford. Already in 2016 Philip Hammond had begun to deviate from decades of Treasury orthodoxy by announcing £23 billion of investments into infrastructure, skills and research. Over the course of 2017, the UK proved the Treasury view wrong by investing effectively in downstream R&D, identifying its real industrial strengths, focusing big government budgets like health and energy on innovation, and sowing the seeds for a revival of productive bu
