Neom doesn’t exist yet and there is a real possibility that it never will. You see Neom is a high-tech futuristic city being planned in Saudi Arabia and is the brainchild of its ruler, Mohammed bin Salman.
Stretching along the Red Sea coast it will be 170km long, home to smart technology, net zero eco bollocks and home to about 9 million people with two robots for every person performing everyday tasks, with the aim to reduce Saudi Arabia’s dependence on oil and to diversify its economy.
Being described as like something out of Blade Runner it will have flying taxis, a ski resort, shops, restaurants, homes, offices, green spaces, airport and rail link to get from one end to the other in 20 minutes. It all sounds very fanciful but who will build all this?
We know the petrodollar billionaires of the Middle East don’t do hard labour so I guess it will be down to the desperate and poor of South Asia once again and the exploitation that comes with it as the Qatar World Cup stadia and glittering skylines of Dubai and Kuwait City will testify to.
Since robots will be doing all the day-to-day stuff who is going to live here? Tech entrepreneurs? Social media influencers? The sort of cunt who drinks a veni spice latte with two pumps of cinnamon dolce syrup and sleeps on a beanbag half the day and calls it work? Isn’t that Silicon Valley? Blair, Soros, the Obamas and the Swedish schoolgirl truant, I bet they all have their eyes on a penthouse. I assume the Saudis will still want a bloke wearing a tea towel and pyjamas to cut of heads and hands to retain the human touch and enforce law and order.
I suppose I should be objective over this. Its in Mankind’s nature to build the biggest, best, fastest and tallest, to keep inventing, innovating and evolving. The Great Wall of China or the Pyramids of Egypt would never have been built, no space travel, Titanic or Colosseum would have been realised.
I don’t know. It all seems a bit too elitist and sterile and I don’t think the world is ready for flying taxis and robots while billions still cannot feed themselves or access clean water. A bit like a futuristic Los Angeles from Demolition Man where you are fined for swearing and thought crimes, the police are useless and everyone is a woke pussy…I mean that could never happen…..oh hang on.
Did I mention this is going to cost $1Tn and the crown prince wants this completed by 2030! The name Neom comes from the Greek word neos meaning “new” and the Arabic mustaqbal meaning “future”. I wonder if they have a translation for white elephant?
“Encouraging a more sustainable living” and “seismic changes in the way people will live in the future”. Mmm. I quite like my little village in Lincolnshire thanks Mo.

Like London a few week’s ago.

It’s the UN’s vision of the future. All of us in mega cities, not allowed to see the great outdoors.

I wonder how much slave labour will die building that white elephant..
Maybe Gareth and the England boys can do some meaningless gesture at the world Cup in support of these future deaths..

Reminds me of Judge Dredd and Mega City One.No thanks Abdul I will pass.Woke bollocks.

Sounds a bit like Onkel ‘dolf’ s old holiday camp, which I believe has been turned into luxury flats. Adolf had a better location, N German coast…

Big Mo agreed to add some caravan pitches for western infidels like Jack and Ethel but they will have to recycle their own jobbies.

I wonder if the inhabitants will own nothing and be happy…

Can I access this super duper utopia of glass and steel in 50 degrees in a desert by dinghy?
9
Will the robots do the beheadings too?
I bet the robots are programmed to face and pray to Mecca when the call to prayer is played.
Sounds like a madhouse. Hot as fuck, mad peacefuls, net zero shite and robots everywhere.
Seeing as their economy relies totally on oil, the leaders should be doing all they can to ignore the net zero shite and promote using oil.
Silly twats, they’ll end up like starving Africans in a generation.
12
Just imagine if god had place all the oil somewhere else other than the Arabian Dessert
That’s right this would still be a dessert and these uncouth fuckers would still be riding Camels Ahem
Just imagine..
14
And when the oil reserves are gone they’ll be back on the camels EC.

ON or in the Camels?

In the camels

I wonder why you need two robots for each person?…I’d settle for one robot to do all the housework and a Henry the Hoover dressed up as Ellie Simmonds for those more intimate moments.
15
It’s a very strict country in religious terms.
I reckon one robot to do the chores and one to watch you like a fucking hawk. Miss a prayer session and it’ll break your legs. Spank the monkey and out will come the robot’s scimitar, and off will come your hand and your tackle. Blaspheme and it’ll cut your fucking head off.
Sounds fucking great.
13
I’ll wait for it bending over to pray and then I’ll bot the snooping bastard so viciously it’s batteries’ll fly out of the top of it’s head
14
It would seem that Ellie Symonds might’ve supplanted Gemma Arterton in your affections, Mr F…just think, Ellie could give you a nosh whilst you’re both standing up in the pub toilet and you could put your beer on her head and challenge her to complete her task with spilling a drop.
15
Well, best of luck with that then !!!!!
Fucking idiot!
11
Flying taxis, they are already here, in Bradford 😂

I see that Ukrainian refugee women and girls are being abducted in the UAE, never to be seen again.
Well, nobody saw that coming.

You could fit alot of sex slaves in that brown elephant.

The Arabs are a bunch of cunts.
It’ll either burn down due to shitty wiring or the Iranians will blow it up with a drone.
We should have put these cunts in concentration camps and kept all the oil for ourselves.
Politicians are cunts.

I can see a world such as Neom based on all those old classic scifi books and films becoming a reality:-
Bladerunner
5th Element
THX-1138
Soylent Green
Caves of Steel/Naked Sun
1984, obviously
and a bit of Woody Allen’s Sleeper, for good measure
It is hoped should the new utopia ever materialise with the approval of WEF and Greta, will it also mean open borders, unlimited immigration and the mandatory adoption of Islam as your chosen religion?
Such a utopia should attract millions of Wokies, neo-liberals, progressives and of course migrants/refugees.
Therefore, all those moaning cunts currently residing in the UK but slagging the place off left, right and centre, should pack their bags and head off to Neom and absorb themselves in the world they crave so much!
(Good luck to them trying to enforce equality, diversity and inclusion of the usual suspects into Saudi’s strict Islamic laws. But I’m the likes of Greta, Lineker, The Guardian and Owen Jones will be able to “re-educate” the Saudi rulers.)

I wouldn’t worry too much. Back in the early 1960s a Newnes magazine – a monthly – called “Practical Mechanics” seemed to feature every month a new metal city with ever more bizarre forms of tranposrtation and not one of them came to fruition, or anywhere near it. Suffice it to say the magazine ceased publication in September 1963 – prior to that for thirty years they had concentrated on the less outre’ aspects of engineering and modelling and done well, but Futurseville was a dead end. As were most of the schemes dreamt up by Alvin “Futureshock” Toffler. he is no longer with us. As far as I know he is no longer with anyone, having lost interest and died some years ago.

Build the fucker & another ten like it, then that’s 90 million cunts not irritating the non-woke cunts like the rest of us. It could have it’s on interweb thingy & soshul meeja, which us fucking proles wouldn’t be allowed to see or use – fucking great! No more woke, trans, thought-controlling motherfuckers.
11
It will fall down after a couple of years because it will be built by the Chinese. All across the wealthy Arab world they are undercutting and outbidding everyone else on these large infrastructure projects as Chinese influence and soft economic power spreads across the planet.
The much hated western globalisation is finished, but being replaced by something far worse.
12
Will each kitchen come with a journalist sized waste disposal unit? Is all the cutlery four feet long? Will you sit down at the end of the day for a G&T served by your faithful robot whilst the other one gets its scimitar out? Meong, mega cunt magnet.

Reminds me of the shiny elitist ‘Delta City’ proposed by the OCP company in the Robocop films.

It looks alright but I’d need a ground floor apartment so that my cat can go out. Anyone know how much the service charges are going to be? And I’d need there to be a robot translator in all the shops.
I suppose a pub on the corner is out of the question.
7
Estimated cost $1tn (or if it was being built in Britain, $4tn, 10 years late and not fit for purpose)
Imagine if that $1tn was used to take a few million people out of poverty. It would keep “Children in Need” and “Red Nose” and all the other major charities quiet for decades (although having said that $1tn still wouldn’t be enough because 99% of it would probably end up in the pockets of CEOs, directors and shareholders)

Sounds like Mega City One. No doubt Islamic law will be strictly enforced by Judge Bin Dredd.

This is the dream! Busy little bees all working to serve their masters.
Everybody under one roof. The environment under central control. Food and water under central control. Energy and sanitation under central control. Transportation and movement under central control.
And when there’s the inevitable pandemic…transportation comes to a halt. Sections of the city are secured. Individual living pods are locked down. And vaccines are forcibly administered.
The Great Reset writ large, in real time, right before our eyes.
And still there are those who refuse to see.
17
Don’t you worry your head about it none. It’s a Saudi Arabian venture. They do things different over there.

NOEM is real and its plans are underway.
There is an airport there and domestic flights are already scheduled.
As for International flights:
https://arab.news/58p3b
Why would London be the first International port? Why would the Saudis give suitcases full of money to the once and future King…Chucky, Prince of ears?
Could these items be related? Are they a coincidence or do the Saudis just admire Chucky’s humanitarian efforts? Maybe his “Sustainable Markets” bullshit has exactly the same goals as the Great Reset?
Best not to ask any questions. If you keep your head in the sand…what you don’t know won’t hurt you.

Nothing new about this bollocks.
Incredible to think that Fritz Lang’s ‘Metropolis’ was made over 95 years ago.

Metropolis was fiction. NOEM is real.

Really? Last time I checked most of the project area remains bare desert. 🙄

Britain used to conduct many megaprojects. Now we do fuck all. Boris bottled it with that proposed bridge from Ireland to Scotland. These Arabs and Asians dream big these days, they have the money and the moxie to undertake these Herculean tasks. Meanwhile in the other wealthy countries, the governments piss away money on all sorts of useless shite. Britain should be building hydroponic farms underground, building river and wave turbines. Build lush ecological garden cities in Britain. Make Britain Great Again! What’s the alternative – become a rinky-drink second-rate backwater? Fuck that. But we’ll need people with vision and right now we have clowns driving the bus.
