UK: Trump’s USAID-Cuts Threatens London Zoo! (5.10.2025)

A spokesperson for ZSL told the BBC that the past year had been particularly challenging for UK tourism and the global conservation sector.

They added that the organisation had also been affected by the increase in employer National Insurance contributions earlier this year.

The spokesperson said: “ZSL, whose income is partially generated by visitors to its zoos, has seen the impact of decreased consumer confidence on visitor behaviour, with guests spending less this summer.”

They pointed to the Great Britain Tourism Survey, which found domestic tourism was down by 8% in spring 2025 compared with the previous year. The decline was attributed to “increased cost-of-living and weaker consumer confidence” in the UK economy.

The IFS report found that “deaths of despair” – those attributed to alcohol, drugs and suicide – rose by 24 per cent in England and Wales in 2023, compared with the 2015-19 pre-pandemic average.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the disgruntled masses in the West were brainwashed -through the mainstream media (left and right) – to unquestionably support all forms of Islamo-fascistic terrorism! Invariably, the followers of this murderous ideology were presented as preferable to any form of ‘Socialist’ administration. Mindless murder was portrayed as a ‘civilised’ alternative to ‘Socialism’ – as the Americans who had invented and empowered this ideology believed that ‘all roads lead to Washington’! In other words, the reliance upon the maniacal belief in an extremist theology would eventually morph into a natural respect for predatory capitalism and liberal democracy.
