Live and let live?

The British Social Attitudes Survey which surveys more than 3,000 people is reported across news sources today. There has been a shift 'towards a more sympathetic stance on welfare benefits and recipients'. In general, British society has become more liberal, individual and cynical, reports The Guardian. The Independent reports that confidence in the police has fallen since 1983, and confidence in banks being well-run has dropped from 90% down to 19%.
