In June 2025, the British press reported on fears that white Britons will become a minority in 40 years, contributing to a narrative of national decline. Former Tory MP Douglas Carswell criticized low-skilled, non-western immigrants as burdens and called for their removal. A survey revealed widespread belief among Britons that the country is in decline, with concerns about civil unrest. This renewed declinism echoes past sentiments from the 1970s, where national failures were attributed to systemic corruption and social issues.
