Reform's chairman is right: young Britons are demoralised. But it's not because they hate their country | Zoe Williams
Briefly

The article discusses the troubling statements made by politicians about addressing youth demoralization in the UK. Zia Yusuf's comments highlight a perceived crisis among Gen Z, linking their struggles to a narrative of anti-patriotism. The author argues that this demoralization stems from economic hardships and societal inaction rather than a lack of national pride. The piece advocates for teaching young people how to organize effectively, rather than promoting blind patriotism as a solution to their challenges. It concludes with a call for a more constructive approach to youth empowerment.
There has been an industrial-scale demoralisation, particularly of young people in this country...they're being taught to hate their country.
Misery only serves two forces, those of reactionary politics, and those of capital.
