(Taken from The Mirror) A recent Face poll, the biggest of its kind in the UK, amongst Britain's younger generation (16-29) does note bode well for Tony Blair or the British right. Amongst the figures, here are the ones I found most interesting -
National Pride
- 83% would leave Britain permanently to live abroad.
- 65% have felt ashamed to be British (the main reasons being violence and football hooliganism).
- Only 30% would risk their lives for their country.
Trust
- 85% believe corporations cannot be trusted.
- 84% believe the same of politicians
- 76% believe the same of the media
- 73% do not trust the Labour Government.
Voting
25% would vote Lib Dem, 23% Labour, 13% Tory.
Drug Use
95% of 16-19 year olds drink.
51% used cannabis, 36% regualar ciggarettes.
"The majority feel that Britain is still resting on past glories such as the Empire and great British inventions".
