Military thinktank sees dark future

[mawilson 2,133]

A UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) thinktank led by a controversial senior officer has issued

some interesting predictions for the future.

In its rolling Strategic Trends Programme document, the MoD's Development, Concepts

and Doctrine Centre (DCDC) seeks to outline the challenges the British forces might face

in the period up to 2035. The DCDC is led by Rear Admiral Chris Parry, an Oxford history

graduate, helicopter observer, and Falklands veteran.

Admiral Parry won some notoriety last year when he told a conference of security

professionals that Britain and Europe were threatened by "reverse colonisation", in which

huge waves of migrants would overwhelm the native culture of Western nations. These

migrants, rather than being assimilated like many in the past, would remain connected

to their home cultures by the internet and cheap flights, thus taking on the character

more of colonials than new citizens.
