In the past 20 years morals have declined because of E U human rights laws.. No longer have parents the right to control their children as in the past because they can be sent to prison. This have led to children growing up with no respect for parents , society or authority, they have a mind of their own. Schools no longer can disipline as in the past and Courts are a joke, and prisons are like holiday venues. We need to return to values of my generation 30 or 40 years ago. Materialisem also set a bad example as today every thing is based on what we have. Children have grown up with out "want" , they recieved "all" without values. A big house, a big car, Long holidays.....and all on credit. !!...at least this credit crunch will turn out to be the start of new thinking and the next genration just may turn the clock back. Hopefully...

Who is to blame? The government for dumbing down the population. They have made it expensive for reponsible working tax-payers to have children. On the other hand, they pay lazy people who never took advantage of 12 years of compulsory education to sit at home and have children. Their children in turn, also don't bother at school and solely aim to get on welfare benefits - which increase with every child they bring into the world. There are families in the UK where not one person in 3 generations has ever worked a day in their life. STD are nature's way of correcting the situation, as many of those infected will become sterile and the trend will be stopped. That's evolution at work, weeding out the stupid from amongst us.

I am a 47 year old British man and in my lifetime i have seen morality in UK sink. 30 years ago having a child outside of marriage, teenage pregnancy, gay marriages, violent attacks on pensioners,etc was rare. Now it is considered normal.

Now it is considered normal. Gay marriages aren't declining morality. It means homosexuals are getting married, something which I would consider better morality.
