Prime Minister David Cameron said:
The Social Attitudes Survey shows a crucial shift in our society. People are making clear that they’ve had enough of the something for nothing culture that grew up over the last decade and don’t believe the state has all the answers to our problems. Instead, they want a society where reward is linked to effort, where people are more responsible for themselves and their families. These are values I have been talking about for years - and right across the spectrum, whether it’s in the way we are reforming welfare, strengthening parenting, or helping build a bigger, stronger society in which communities come together, we are acting.
