So what will "the west" look like in the 2040s? First, and most obviously, there will be nothing remotely recognisable as "free" speech. Me just a month back:

Chris Minns, the woeful Premier of New South Wales, gave the game away in his reaction to the Bondi Beach massacre. Muslims open fire on ten-year-old girls? Shut up, he explained:

'I acknowledge that we don't have the same free speech rules that they have in the United States and I make no apologies for that. We have got a responsibility to knit together our community, that comes from different races and religions.'

Or as the Daily Telegraph headline writer summarised it:

'Free speech will have to go to preserve multiculturalism'
