Cameron: culture change to combat 'anarchy in the UK'

August 20 2007

Supporting families and communities is key to tackling antisocial behaviour among young people, not raising the drinking age, the Conservative party leader, David Cameron, said today.

A "culture change" that "celebrates marriage" is needed to help combat problems with unruly youths, he said in an interview, and that family breakdown was key because too many youngsters were growing up without male role models.

His comments came as a survey revealed that half of British people felt more frightened on the streets than a decade ago.

And the anarchy is brewing here too.
