Here's the transcript of my wrap up of 2025 video.
The following video is my own look at the things that caught my attention during 2025. I’ll probably miss out some stuff that you think is important so feel free to add them to the comments below this video. This video is also going to include some humorous commentary/bad language and are my opinions and fall under free speech while the UK still has it.
Now the housekeeping is out of the way, let’s take a look at the past 12 months.
UK Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has spent the last year scuppering all attempts at a lasting peace between Israel and Gaza which is understandable given that being PM of Israel is his second job and second jobs never get a politician’s full attention. His proxy, Prime Muppet Mr Keir Starmer, on the other hand, has put his full attention and efforts into enriching himself by sucking up to all his donors and anyone with real power who gives him a little scratch behind the ear.
Brexit has proven to be the best decision for the UK with rising food prices, shortages in shops, growing xenophobia on the streets and, most importantly, sky-high interest rates and stagnant growth but we have got Union flags and St. George’s flags springing up across England put up by those patriotic Far-Right individuals who have great pride in British values and St George, the patron Saint of England who was born in Turkey in the 3rd Century AD and whose mother was believed to come from Syria-Palaestina.
Prime Muppet Mr Keir Starmer went off-script when he tried to look strong in front of UK PM Benjamin Netanyahu and pretend that the UK was holding Israel to account for its genocide in Gaza by waiting for several countries to join half the countries of the world in recognising the State of Palestine. How big of Starmer to recognise a State that the UK and the UN broke up to give European Jews a place to flee persecution in Europe and has been in existence since at least the 3rd Century AD.
Prime Muppet Mr Keir Starmer has spent the last year pissing away the chance to deliver on the one-word manifesto of “change” with the massive landslide victory he was gifted by the gullible UK electorate in 2024 when even the most loyal Tory voter said “fuck it, the Tories are fucking useless”. It takes a genius level of intellect to squander such an amount of goodwill and trust to become the most hated PM in British history but I don’t suppose that really applies to someone who’s merely a proxy for the real leader of the UK.
It hasn’t been an entirely bad year for Prime Muppet Mr Keir Starmer though as he was given two awards in 2025. The prestigious Best Performer in a Multiple Anal Fisting scene was presented to Starmer when video surfaced of Starmer being controlled like a puppet by Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump, Lord Ali, Morgan McSweeney, Tony Blair, all his donors and his wife all at the same time. Starmer was offered a job in the adult film industry training up-and-coming gay porn stars how to achieve a similar feat. The other award was the Guinness Record for Multiple Anal Fisting. The representative from the Guinness Book of Records stated that “this is a record that I doubt will be broken for decades”. Tragedy struck, however, when a member of the Press got to close to Starmer, tripped and fell into his TARDIS-like rectum. The man could be heard screaming until the echoes of his cries dissipated but there is still no sign of him.
Rachel Reeves failed to produce the growth she kept saying was her primary objective when she took the role of Chancellor but was so confident in her fiscal rules that she doubled down on everything the Tories did during their disastrous time in office rather than do something that might work. Despite the Cabinet reshuffle earlier this year, Rachel from Accounts kept her job as Chancellor even though it’s clearly well beyond her ability but Starmer kept her around so he can use her as the patsy she was always intended to be.
The Liebore regime suffered a toothless backbench revolt over the cuts to disability benefits and the changes to Personal Independence Payments eligibility criteria with several formally loyal backbenchers taking a stand to demand a rethink on the policy proposed by Dr Death tribute act Liz Kendall. Starmer pretended to panic for a while and the rebellion was crushed gaining nothing but verbal assurances that a rethink would be done and changes implemented and the legislation was passed completely unchanged. Of course, verbal assurances from a serial liar like Starmer mean nothing and, soon after his Cabinet reshuffle, rumblings of disability benefit cuts and PIP eligibility criteria changes started up again. Reshuffles are always a good way to avoid keeping assurances made to quell a rebellion that would have damaged the regime in the eyes of the electorate.
Starmer and Reeves were accused of misleading Parliament over country’s finances prior to the Budget in November, an accusation that both refuted at the time but was slightly undercut by photos of both of them crossing their fingers as they spoke.
UK Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his proxy Prime Muppet Mr Keir Starmer to crush any dissent on his genocidal acts in Gaza by misusing anti-terror legislation to proscribe non-violent direct action group Palestine Action as a terrorist group against the advice of the UK’s intelligence services. Elbit Systems, an Israeli arms manufacturer, targeted by Palestine Action was thus allowed to continue to supply arms to Israel, a State facing a plausible case of genocide, war crimes and crimes against Humanity at the International Court of Justice in such a massive act of hypocrisy that it threatens to tear a hole in the fabric of the Universe.
Tony Blair crawled out of the tomb he shares with Peter ‘I’m great pals with Jeffrey Epstein’ Mandelson to push the Digital ID policy he wants to profit from and Prime Muppet Mr Keir Starmer was all too happy to oblige although Starmer assured the gullible electorate that the Digital ID would be voluntary but would be needed if you wanted to work in the UK which hardly makes it voluntary. Starmer stated that the UK would not become a “papers please” country although those of us paying attention remarked as one that, of course the UK wouldn’t become a “papers please” country, with the increase in authoritarianism and police powers, they wouldn’t bother saying “please” at all.
Reform UK Party Ltd leader Nigel Farage and Richard Tice both came out attacking people with mental health problems saying that mental health conditions are being over diagnosed. Quite a statement from two men who obviously suffer severe mental illnesses that are currently professionally undiagnosed but obvious to anyone with even a cursory knowledge of mental illness.
The new political vehicle for Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, Your Party, suffered a number a false starts and growing pains that have rendered it almost completely useless as a political movement, leaving those who showed interest in joining Your Party with few options – stick it out and hope they get their act together, stay politically homeless or join The Green Party in frustration.
While The Greens are building momentum under their new leader Zack Polanski who is basically bulletproof when it comes to accusations of anti-Semitism being Jewish himself, Reform Party UK Ltd are riding high in the polls and have been shown as being in a position to gain a lot of Parliamentary seats at the next General Election if the trend continues.
Zack Polanski appears to be a real anti-Establishment politician and has said that he’d be willing to work with other Left-wing groups, a claim slightly undercut by an old Tweet stating that he couldn’t support Jeremy Corbyn as he was pro-European and Jewish. Is Polanski merely another Establishment lackey brought in to undermine a Left-wing surge?
On the world stage, the Far-Right is on the rise with Trump in the US, Benjamin Netanyahu and his Far-Right coalition partners in Israel, the pandering to the Far Right led by Prime Muppet Mr Keir Starmer and the rise of Reform in the UK as well as an increase in Far-Right parties across the globe. International law has been shown to be worthless as Israel has been allowed to continually break it and States selling arms, supporting and facilitating Israel’s genocide view international law as optional if it’s in Israeli interests. Given Israel’s impunity in the face of international law and its influence over other supposedly sovereign States, conspiracy theorists have changed the wording of one of the most prevailing theories from “Jews control everything” to “Israel controls everything”.
Senior Israeli figures have come out saying that there’s no such place as Palestine and no such people as Palestinians. Funny, I thought someone mentioned that Palestine has existed since around the 3rd Century AD starting out as Syria Palaestina, a Roman province formed after the Jewish-Roman wars and the Jewish defeat.
In entertainment, Hollywood is undergoing a massive upheaval with large established film studios being subject to takeovers by smaller studios and streaming services. The excuse being used is that people have become more used to watching movies at home following the COVID pandemic and, as a result, ticket sales have not returned to their pre-pandemic levels. Cute that they ignore the fact that people aren’t going to the cinema anymore because they’re producing crap movies, unwanted remakes and treat their audience like shit when they complain about the crap they’re served.
Doctor Who finally died this year with Ncuti Gatwa era achieving the worst ratings ever in the 62-year history of the show and Disney pulling the plug on the partnership with the BBC that enabled the series to continue in 2023. The ratings fell due to a combination of poor writing, poor characterisation, the pushing of identity politics in the writing at the expense of actual storytelling and the move by showrunner Russell T Davies away from science-fiction towards fantasy. It didn’t help that Ncuti Gatwa told fans who didn’t like the direction the show was going in to ‘go and touch grass’. They did and didn’t come back. The lesson they haven’t learned is – if you treat your loyal fan base like shit, they’ll walk and you’ll most likely never get them back. The real fans always have 26 years of Classic Who to watch and re-watch.
In another Doctor Who-related story, audio drama producer Big Finish has managed to anger some fans by filling their stories with the same kind of identity politics as the series. Diversity is fine but, when a character who is a minor character dies in the story, do we really need to be told that he’s got a husband? Does a person’s sexuality really matter to the story if it’s not the focus of some aspect of the story? Are Big Finish saying that a gay person’s death is a bigger tragedy to their partner than if the person happened to be straight?
Big Finish have also pissed of some fans by moving to producing download-only releases which wouldn’t be such a problem if some of the affected releases weren’t continuations of series previously released on CD or tie-ins to CD releases. Rather than accepting criticism about the download-only releases, Big Finish have ignored or swatted away the criticism. This is also the attitude of Creative Director and voice of the Daleks Nicholas Briggs when Big Finish was criticised for the move towards lots of two-part stories. In Vortex, the Big Finish magazine, Briggs stated that “it’s clear you and I will have to agree to disagree. There are now more long-form stories being released by Big Finish than ever before. I understand you have something against two-part stories because that duration wasn’t common or typical during the run of the classic series, but I judge stories on the basis of what they’re about and how effectively they unfold, not solely on how long they are. I think the two-part format works really well, particularly on audio. Also, some of our two-parters, especially the Second Doctor episodes, actually form part of a longer story. So, for example, although The Potential Daleks features three two-parters, in many ways it’s actually a six-parter. I would urge you not to focus on judging stories in this way as it’s clearly spoiling your enjoyment, and we have no plans to change policy”. So, as with any criticism, it’s the fan or audience who’s the problem, not the people making the decisions.
I’ll cover the problems with Doctor Who since the end of the Classic Era and Big Finish in a later video.
As for my personal year – I had my hernia surgery, suffered more memory and cognitive problems, went through the migration process from Employment and Support Allowance to Universal Credit which was as painful and unnecessary as you’d expect, I got an ear infection a couple of days before Christmas after having to wear my MP3 player on a solo shopping trip and came down with a cold on Christmas Day that still hasn’t shifted. And the less said about this year’s Christmas shopping, the better, but I’ll do a video about it if anyone asks for it.
