According to a new poll, Britons are predicting that 2025 will be a worse year for the country than 2024 – by a thumping two-to-one majority. The Telegraphhas the details.
Half of Britons believe next year will be worse than this year against only 23% who believe it will be better, according to the survey of more than 2,400 people by pollsters More in Common.
Nearly one in five (18%) believe it will be “much worse” with just over a quarter (27%) saying 2025 will remain the same.
Labour voters are more optimistic with 48% saying it will be better, against 30% who say it will be worse. Reform U.K. supporters are the most pessimistic, with 65% saying 2025 will be worse, although it was 64% among Tories.
More than two-thirds of the public believe Sir Keir’s Government will fail to deliver in 2025 on two key metrics – reducing the number of migrants crossing the Channel or reducing the number of people on NHS waiting lists.
Luke Tryl, Executive Director of More in Common, said the poll reflected a “pervasive sense of national gloom which has set upon us”. He attributed it to a double whammy of the public’s ongoing disillusionment with the Government combined with disappointment that Labour had failed to deliver on its “Change agenda”.
While they believe Sir Keir will remain in Number 10, little has changed, they say. Some 66% of the public say that Labour seems like “more of the same” compared with the previous government, while only 34% say they seem genuinely different.

Until the head of the snake is cut off in the WEF et al, it won’t matter who is running our country.
We can only hope that Trump will be first to wield the sword against the snake and show others how to follow…

People are slowly beginning to realise that we don’t live in a democracy. Can’t have too much sympathy, we all found time to research while leading busy lives. They can lie in their prison beds, but we will all join them if we let these, what I can only describe as psychopaths get away with it.

What Mr Lowe MP says;
”I know it’s so incredibly tedious to repeat ourselves again and again and again on what’s happening in the Channel, but we just have to keep banging away. It’s boring, it’s repetitive, it’s necessary. Hundreds more have crossed today…
I worry it’s becoming more and more normalised. Just another part of life, having these foreign males placed in communities around the country. There is NOTHING normal about it.
305 yesterday, 407 the day before, 451 on Christmas Day. The vast majority male, the vast majority young, the vast majority not genuine asylum seekers.
I have it on good authority from those directly involved in the process that our weak asylum system is being abused on an industrial scale. Men claiming to be boys, officially being given ‘the benefit of the doubt’? They’re lying about their sexuality, age, religion, background – all to tick the right boxes in order to satisfy the incompetent Home Office. There is a process to follow to get accepted, and they do exactly that.
Those who do get caught out? They’re not securely detained, so many slip into the night, never to be seen again – it is total bloody madness.
Thousands and thousands officially become refugees, and are set for a life of comfort funded by the British taxpayer. £726 million was spent on Universal Credit for refugees in 2023 – much of that on individuals who entered the country illegally via small boat.
Make no mistake. If our political leadership had the will, this could be solved almost overnight. Yes, it won’t be a particularly elegant solution. But it will work. And it needs to be done.
The message has to be clear and it has to be simple. If you come here illegally, you CANNOT stay. We’ve already welcomed 150,000 from the boats, a number that is growing rapidly.
My message to you has to be this – do NOT get used to it.
It is NOT acceptable. And we must NOT accept it, regardless of how repetitive it all is.”
At some point very soon the message will have to be firmed up…
‘When Reform take over ALL illegals will be rounded up and shipped out and there will be NO exceptions. For the so-called legals each case will be investigated. Again no exceptions.
Check out this young lad in Ireland getting assaulted by a bus driver. If you put the sound on you can hear the whack. No idea what the context was. It’ll probably end up behind a sensitivity warning soon;
I regret the UK and USA are unlikely to sign a trade deal because the sponsors of the Labour Party, and its most vocal members:
Hate Trump and anything American except Democrat wokism
They are terrified of chlorinated chicken. Even those few of them who have ever been to the USA other than to campaign for Hilary, Biden or Harris.

If there is anyone out there who cannot guess why Reform are gaining members, apart from the Tory leadership, please go to a cool dark room and think hard.

It’s not so much that they are not delivering change, it is the things that should be changed aren’t being, and the changes they are making are basically vandalism, apparently deliberately aimed at wrecking decent peoples’ lives.

France – start your preparations.”
Yes, indeed. Mind, you have got Bradford as the ‘City of Culture’ next year to look forward to, so it’s not all bad.

Bloody hell. Wall-to-wall chapatis. Can’t wait.
Rupert Lowe appears to be doing all the heavy lifting and gaining much kudos as a result.
“There may be trouble ahead …”
He certainly is. I like him. He’s a man who gets things done.

A similar approach could be used on all the illegals rocking up on our shores.
A whack on the , a kick in the balls, ship the fuckers all back to france, burn the boats they come in on, and jail the boats men.
I can’t help thinking that Henry v, Nelson or Churchill wouldn’t have put up with this shit for very long.
Sink the boats on the edge of French waters.
