I am positive for 2025, despite everything. We all know it's mess, we all know there's so much wrong, we all know Labour are terrible - but there are reasons to be hopeful. My New Year message is this - you are not alone. Sometimes it may feel like it, but please understand that the decent majority is with you. British people are fundamentally driven by logic and fairness - that can only be suppressed for so long. 2025 is the year common sense makes a roaring comeback. I can feel it... They can call us racist, far-right, bigots, whatever 'phobe' is in fashion that day. Ignore it. As Winston Churchill said, keep buggering on... We are right. They are wrong. For wanting a functional border, that protects against the invasion of unchecked foreign young males? An immigration system that puts the interests of the British people above ALL else? We are right. For asking to return power to the individual, clawing it back from the bloated and inefficient state? Slashing tax to reward hard work, and incentivise real economic growth? We are right. For not bowing to the woke mob? For wanting to protect British children from the seeping indoctrination that is being felt across the school system? For wanting to celebrate Britain, and all that we have given to the world? For accepting biological fact and reality? We are right. For questioning the logic of sending billions in overseas aid, when our own people are suffering through a freezing winter? For wanting a British Government that prioritises the wellbeing of its own citizens above that of China, India, Brazil or wherever else? We are right. For believing in the application of the law to ALL fairly and equally? For asking that ALL should be treated with the same swift justice, regardless of race or religion? We are right, AGAIN. Pushing these principles can feel lonely, the system wants you to feel that way. But, please remember - you are NOT alone. Millions and millions of decent British people agree with you. Reform is our only route out of this mess. The ONLY way to deliver change is through the ballot box. If you want real reform, then you have to vote for it. Don't get angry, frustrated, despondent. Get determined - it's your country, do something about it. I love Britain, and I love being British. Always remember that there is so much to fight for... Happy New Year, Rupert

ELON: WHEN WE LOSE FREE SPEECH, WE LOSE DEMOCRACY "Free speech is the bedrock of democracy, and free speech is what allows atrocities to be called out and for people to be aware of them.  That's why the Germans wanted to shut down the press immediately.  So, I think we should do everything we can to preserve free speech.  And when we lose free speech, I think we lose democracy."

Phone call with my dad yesterday: Dad: "I’m usually a fan of Elon, but did you hear all that crazy stuff he said during that chat with Trump?" Me: "Yeah, but did you actually listen to the Spaces?" Dad: "No, I just heard about it on the Dutch radio." Me: "Sigh. Here’s the link to the actual conversation. Give it a listen yourself, and then we can talk about what really happened."
