Jordan Peterson has urged the UK to show greater resolve and put the country back together, expressing dismay at its direction without identifying specific policies or events in the supplied extract.

In an emphatic appeal, he combined criticism with an acknowledgement of the country’s contribution to the world. “The world owes the UK so much”, he said, adding: “We can't stand to see what you're doing to yourself”.

His demand was blunt: “GROW SOME SPINE AGAIN AND PUT YOUR DAMN COUNTRY BACK TOGETHER”.

The remarks frame Britain’s difficulties as something the country must address itself. But the extract does not explain which problems Peterson means, who he holds responsible or what action he wants taken. It conveys an urgent call for national resolve rather than a specific programme for change.
