Today in Britain one in five young people rely on handouts
A lost generation
Roughly one in five young people faces a lifetime on government handouts, under-achieving in education and runs the risk of falling into crime, says a report by the London School of Economics for the Prince's Trust charity.
Dennis Prager says Britain Was Once Great Britain
If Great Britain can cease to be great in so short a time span, any country can. All you need is an elite that no longer believes in their country, that manipulates history texts to make students feel good about themselves, that prefers multiculturalism to its own culture, and that has abandoned its religious underpinnings.
UPDATE: Melanie Phillips writes Weep for Britain
After reading Andrew Robert's A History of the English-speaking Peoples Since 1900.
The central argument of the book is that in these last hundred years the English-speaking peoples have not merely formed the most successful, powerful, creative, inventive and dynamic societies on the planet but have embodied uplifting moral virtues, subscribing to notions of collective altruism, decency, courage, gallantry, stoicism and self-sacrifice which derived at root from the profound belief that what they stood for was right.
Almost every page of this book is painful to read, because to be invited to admire these virtues of the English-speaking world is to recognise the sheer magnitude and irreplaceability of what we have lost. These virtues, which enabled the English-speaking world to triumph over the despotisms of German nationalism, fascism, and communism and brought down tyrannies over four continents, belong to a culture that has now simply vanished.
