Summary Britain must confront its slow-motion moral collapse, PM David Cameron declared Monday.
He said this following riots that left five people dead, thousands facing criminal charges and at least 200 million pounds ($326 million) in property losses.Cameron said his coalition government would outline new policies designed to tackle a culture of laziness, irresponsibility and selfishness which he believes fueled Britains unrest.He also pledged to toughen rhetoric from ministers and officials, who he claimed had too often shied away from promoting strong moral standards.His government would no longer be timid in discussing family breakdown or poor parenting, or in criticizing those who fail to set a good example to their community.This has been a wake-up call for our country. Social problems that have been festering for decades have exploded in our face, Cameron told an audience at a youth center in Witney, his Parliamentary district in southern England.
