The British societal rot is too well known to recall here. But this week we had the spectacle of a British Prime Minister admitting to it. On Thursday, a day after lamenting that pockets of the British society had become “sick”, Cameron gave a pep talk to Britons on “proper parenting” and the need to let the youngsters know the difference between right and wrong. Addressing an emergency session of the British Parliament called to discuss the raging riots, Cameron said that family breakdown and poor parenting were significantly responsible for the unrest and pledged to restore a sense of moral responsibility.
