2025? No thanks, wake me up when it's over

After a brief creative hiatus over what is laughingly known as the "festive season", Pete is catching up..

"... It’s been a little while since I hit Substack. I needed the Christmas break more than I imagined. 2024 was a busy year for me politically. I took the opportunity to catch up on some music production and it’s been difficult dragging myself away from it, especially with X being its very worst at the moment.

Returning fresh to X is wearisome. When you’re not immersed in it, you see it for what it really is. One of the problems with monetisation is that it’s increased the volumes of low-read clickbait slop. There are cash incentives for being ever more controversial. I can’t say I’m immune to that either. If X wasn’t a tool of the trade, I would stop looking at it.

That said, the year has certainly started with a bang in my absence. Elon Musk is blowing the lid off the “grooming” scandal. As a consequence, the Overton window is now on roller skates, leaving many far behind. Again, echoing Southport, Starmer has put his foot in it by calling requests for an inquiry a “far right bandwagon”. If the story didn’t have legs before, it certainly does now. It could well become the defining issue of Starmer’s premiership.

There are two reasons why we need an inquiry. We need a comprehensive list of the perpetrators (and anyone connected to them) so they can be surgically castrated and deported along with their entire families, and a list of the public officials who allowed it to happen so their pensions can be cancelled and clawed back, bankrupted and, in the worst cases, jailed.

Such an extensive inquiry, though, would likely show local Labour politicians up to their necks in it. As such, this is a no-win situation for Starmer. If he green-lights an enquiry, he’s cooked - and if he doesn’t, he and his party stand accused of sheltering child rapists. Since the party has just rejected Badenoch’s inquiry amendment, the party will have to carry the weight of it. It will not go unnoticed, not least by Elon Musk.

For me, though, this is all besides the point. This atrocity has been committed by people who should never have been here in the first place. “Grooming” is not the only issue we have with them. The list is long. For decades now, we've scratched our arses, asking ourselves what to do about a multitude of social ills when the bottom line is that these problems wouldn't be here if third worlders weren't here.

Moreover, there are no downsides to removing them. The gun crime, the knife crime, the terrorism, the drug dealing, and the industrial-scale sexual abuse drops to near nothing if we just concede the obvious that third world savages cannot be integrated or even domesticated. Nothing else has worked and nothing else is going to work. The only thing that stops us is the misguided belief that there is no greater sin than racism - even if our collective inaction means civilisational collapse and civil war. We don't owe it to anyone to destroy ourselves.

If there is one ray of light this week, it is that the regime no longer has control over the narrative. There’s been a lot of catching up and I’m not by any means alone in calling for much more robust immigration measures. More people than ever are talking about mass deportations. They perhaps wouldn’t expand the scope as far as I would but they’ll get there eventually. They usually do.

What’s interesting is that following Elon Musk’s “community notes”, Mark Zuckerberg has abandoned fact-checking on Meta platforms. With corporates no longer willing to hold the line for liberalism, the “vibe shift” will continue to snowball. Facebook, where once you could be suspended for saying men aren’t women, is going to be a much more interesting place. The liberal regime no longer has anyone willing to do its censorship dirty work.

This is where it gets interesting. While Labour would prefer to keep the child rape epidemic under wraps, the general public is unlikely to cooperate.

For my part, though, Elon Musk has utterly shafted me because there is no pushing the rhetorical envelope any further thanks to his interventions. I mean, calling a government minister a “rape genocide apologist” is as strong as it gets. Short of accusing Keir Starmer of paedophilia, there’s nowhere left to go. In 2025, political correctness is truly dead.

Meanwhile, in other matters, borrowing costs have risen to the highest level since 2008, forcing the Treasury to intervene, while the national grid this evening was teetering on the brink. Labour isn’t handling anything well. They can point to fourteen years of Tory failure, but their approach is to do all the same things, harder and faster, making everything worse.

The upshot of this, is that Labour will soon be mired in crises of their own making on every front when they’re already running on empty in terms of public approval. They’re not going to bring energy costs down. They’re not going to stop the boats or smash the gangs. They’re not going to create jobs. They’re not even going to get a better deal from the EU. Keir Starmer is the last gasp of a dying era in politics.

As online censorship buckles, the markets turn their backs on net zero, the economy tanks, and the public no longer willing to entertain their excuses, Labour might struggle to get through a full term with Starmer at the helm.

Last year’s riots in the wake of the Southport slayings may well have been directly related to immigration, but they were also a sign that the British public are weary and at the end of their tether. With Labour unlikely to bring remedy to anything, we could just as easily see another bout of rioting next summer. Across Europe and the West, voters are dumping their incompetent liberal elites, but Brits are held hostage whichever way they vote. With Starmer on course to become one of the most hated PMs of all time, 2025 could be the year the British call time on the lot of them.
