A recent YouGov survey reveals the scale that patriotism is waning in Britain. British people may become more patriotic as they grow older, but 18-24 year-olds are so much less as likely than over-60s to be ‘very’ patriotic (15% compared to 49%) that even if a significant proportion of the younger generation turn proud in their old age, this cohort will still be considerably less patriotic than today’s older generation. I would argue that all teachers at all schools, colleges and universities have to be examined and patriotism in our nation has to be a part of their DNA if they are to continue to be allowed to influence our youth.
