Young People are Rubbish

| 1 Comment

Fantastic article from Suzanne Moore slamming the governmental and societal attitude to young people.

"The reality is that we are all in it together. I mean in a "sharing the bathroom" way not in the "big society" way that Rowan Williams rightly called "aspirational waffle". Cameron's fantasy is one of wealth, multiple dwellings and harmonious families. The reality is piling pressure on the vulnerable and writing off a generation"

Wow—I actually did a double-take and flinched a little when I read the title of this blog post and of Suzanne Moore's article. So, of course, I had to read it. And it is very intriguing. I do feel as though youth today is looked down upon, and it's a sad, sad reality that they're not treated as they should be. Thank you for sharing Moore's article!
