Christmas Eve 2034

It looks like being a hard Christmas this year. The weather has been bitterly cold for weeks now and most of Britain is under a foot or more of snow. According to the weathermen, it will get worse before it gets better. Hopefully we won’t get another winter like last year’s. Old timers say that was even worse than the winter of 1963.
Scientists say the run of cold winters in the last few years has to do with something called the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, which they say will usher in a much colder climate for the next thirty years. There are, of course, still a handful of climate scientists who blame the cold on global warming, a theory long discredited by mainstream scientists.
It was those same climate scientists who promised us Mediterranean summers years ago! I wonder what happened to them? Far from hot and sunny, the last few summers have been miserable, cold and wet.
Meanwhile we are suffering under the tenth year of Keir Starmer’s rule. Following the food riots five years ago, he declared a state of emergency and suspended elections.
Food shortages are more acute than ever, thanks to Ed Miliband’s ban on chemical fertilisers. This was the final straw for Britain’s farmers, following the forced closure of most of the country’s meat and dairy farms.
There is little opposition these days to such draconian policies, as dissenters are now routinely locked up. Meanwhile the Labour Party’s propaganda unit, the BBC, assures us that we are all well fed and content with life, dismissing any critics as far-right troublemakers..
Blackouts are common these days, ever since Miliband shut the last gas power stations down. Not that people can afford to pay for electricity, with prices doubling thanks to his renewable agenda. Few people have gas boilers now, after sales of them were banned a few years back. Instead the new fangled heat pumps they have been forced to buy cost a fortune to run and don’t heat homes properly.
To make matters worse, the economy has been in recession for years now, with huge swathes of industry laying off workers and even shutting down, all due to a combination of high energy prices, punitive taxation and pointless climate regulations. Europe is in the same boat, and we all look across the pond in envy, where America has been booming since Trump’s election in 2024.
Asia however is now the world’s economic powerhouse, unrestricted by the mad Net Zero agenda which has destroyed the UK and Europe. Our motor manufacturing industry was wiped out by the ban on petrol cars, which were replaced by cheap Chinese made EVs. Our oil and gas sector soon followed, along with our chemical and steel sectors. All of this was, of course, avoidable. But our politicians thought they knew better.
As a result, unemployment is now over 5 million and counting, while the pound today is less worth than a dollar and inflation is through the roof.
The Government, of course, keeps telling us things will get better. But nobody believes them any more.
We look back on the old days, when families could afford to put a meal on the table, heat their homes and own a car.
And we wonder where it all went wrong.
