The World Cup was named the occasion where Britons feel most comfortable indulging their patriotic side, followed by the Olympic Games and Armistice Day. Generally, older Britons feel more patriotic than younger generations, with 40 per cent of those aged 55 and over describing themselves as “very patriotic”, compared to 18 per cent of those aged 18 to 24. Only 29 per cent of young adults surveyed felt this way, compared to 19 per cent of those aged 55 and over, while a quarter of 18 to 24 year olds think patriotism does not really matter in modern society, compared to 15 per cent of over 55s. The youth no longer have a backbone, no patriotism, no strength for a nation.
