Children of men

The film is set in the year 2027. Due to an unexplained infertility pandemic, no human children have been born in any part of the world for more than eighteen years. The world has descended into chaos with most governments in the world collapsing, leaving the United Kingdom as one of the sole organised societies. At the beginning, it is said that Seattle is under a siege for its 1,000th day, and that there may have been a nuclear attack on New York. Consequently, millions of refugees (referred to as "fugees") have flooded into the United Kingdom seeking asylum. As a result of the influx, Britain has become a militarised police state. The British Army occupies the streets and forcefully detains all 'illegal immigrants' and suspected sympathisers.The film opens with Theo (Owen), an activist turned apathetic bureaucrat, buying coffee in a crowded coffee shop. There, he learns that the world's youngest human, an eighteen-year-old known as "Baby Diego", has been stabbed to death in Buenos Aires for refusing to sign an autograph. As Theo leaves the café on Fleet Street, a bomb explodes, destroying the coffee shop and killing numerous passers-by. The government attributes the attack to the Fishes, an underground resistance group advocating the rights of "every immigrant in Britain". Shaken, Theo visits his friend, Jasper Palmer (Caine), a former editorial cartoonist and aging hippie. Jasper lives in a secluded hideaway in the countryside and spends his time growing cannabis and caring for his catatonic wife, a former photojournalist tortured by the government.
Upon his return to London, Theo is kidnapped by the Fishes, who are led by his estranged wife Julian Taylor (Moore). Theo is surprised and happy to see her as they broke up shortly after Dylan, their young son, died during a flu pandemic in 2008. Julian offers Theo ₤5,000 in exchange for his help in obtaining a travel permit for a young fugee girl named Kee (Ashitey). Initially ambivalent, Theo decides to obtain the permits from his cousin Nigel (Huston), a government minister and curator of a repository for rescued art. Nigel arranges for the papers which carry a stipulation that Theo must accompany Kee. Theo decides to escort Kee in exchange for more money.

Some of those comments on the BBC are unnerving. They wildly contradict everything on the general news wire.
I think until the US shift on QBN starts to become eerily quiet, I'll just pretend it's not happening.
- Yes, I'll believe the comments from the Brits, hoe of The Daily Mail and NME...TheBlueOne

OK, so Mexico has a population of 109,955,400 and 100 of them died from this. That’s less than 1 millionth. Over a week.
How many actual deaths outside of Mexico, let’s see, about... 0.
Wake me when something happens other than record numbers of hits to the BBC news site.
Just sayin’.
