Peter Hitchens has frequently argued that Britain is finished, most recently stating in podcast and interview appearances that young people should “get out while you can”.

Key Reasons Behind His View-——Cultural and Moral Decline: Hitchens believes that decades of progressive liberalism, the erosion of traditional Christian values, and the breakdown of the nuclear family have destroyed the fabric of British society.

Institutional Collapse: He frequently points to the accelerating deterioration of public institutions, notably the educational system, justice, and infrastructure, describing the modern UK increasingly as a “slum country”.

Historical Delusion: He argues that Britain has been in a state of national denial since 1940—living off a myth of continued imperial grandeur and an unhealthy, dependent relationship with the United States rather than facing its actual decline.

Multiculturalism and Loss of Identity: He contends that forced multiculturalism and the rejection of traditional British history have replaced indigenous culture rather than integrated new arrivals, leaving the country unrecognizable to him.

I watched a BBC segment with some Liberal Democrat MP yesterday. She was all about a program to award credit and pay for 100 workhours experience to young people because the “biggest” obstacle for finding a job amoungst the young was lack of work experience. Not a joke.
