Generation Z Can’t Work Alongside People with Different Views and Don’t have the Skills to Debate, says Channel 4 Boss – as She Blames the Lockdowns

by Will Jones
21 September 2023 9:00 AM

Young people in the workplace don’t have the skills to debate, disagree and work alongside people with different opinions, and the lockdowns are to blame, Channel 4’s Chief Executive has said. The Mail has the story.

Speaking at the Royal Television Society’s Cambridge Convention, Alex Mahon said “particularly post-pandemic” Gen Z youngsters “haven’t got the skills to discuss” and “haven’t got the skills to disagree”.

She said this phenomenon, which was being seen in the workplace, was a “dangerous step change”.

The Channel 4 boss cited the time youngsters had spent “being out of colleges” during the pandemic, meaning they had not been exposed as much to “people with a difference of opinion”.

Gen Z usually refers to people born between the middle to late 1990s and the early 2010s.

Ms. Mahon told the Royal Television Society Cambridge Convention: “What we are seeing with young people who come into the workplace – Gen Z – particularly post-pandemic – with this concentration of short form content [short videos on services like Tik Tok and YouTube] is they haven’t got the skills to debate things.

“They haven’t got the skills to discuss, they haven’t got the skills to disagree and commit because they haven’t been raised, particularly with being out of colleges to have those kind of debates, to get to the point where you’ve got people with a difference of opinion to you and you’re happy to work alongside that, and that is a really dangerous step change in my view that we are seeing.”

Worth reading in full.

My only concern is that the forgeries need to be better.

So they identify 100 of the most amateurish slapdash forgeries simply because of spelling mistakes. Who knows how many use more professional forgers and how would border staff validate one from Bulgaria (Cyrilic script) or in Greek ?

The report says a majority of the 20,000 daily arrivals are hauliers, does Mities contract extend to checking up on those whose ‘home’ is an overnight truckstop at a motorway service station ?

Total unthought out shitshow as per usual.

Here we go. A justification for more stringent control: implants, internment…

Probably just added to all the bodies in the streets and overwhelmed hospitals, after that huge protest march about three weeks ago.

… and despite this cases and deaths are going down as we’re coming out of the seasonal respiratory cycle. It’s all about control… that should be clear by now…
