Ordinary Hope: A Mission to Rebuild
Britain needs hope. Of that there seems very little doubt. But what kind of hope does it need?
Over a decade and a half since the Great Financial Crisis and after years of austerity, Brexit battles, cost of living crises and international turbulence, so many people have given up on the future. There is a prevailing sense of hopelessness, of a country that is getting worse rather than better and of a new generation that will struggle to have lives as rewarding as those enjoyed by those who have gone before. People are especially sceptical when it comes to the ability of government or politics of any kind to turn their lives around.
In such an age, hope is difficult to muster.
