David Cameron has hit out at a ‘slow-motion moral collapse’ and said family and parenting is the place to start to fix society. In a speech following the riots in English cities the Prime Minister said social problems that have been ‘festering for decades’ have ‘exploded in our face’ and said that politicians have been ‘too unwilling for too long to talk about what is right and what is wrong’. Mr Cameron also said he wanted a ‘family test’ applied to all domestic policy. He said: ‘If it hurts families, if it undermines commitment, if it tramples over the values that keeps people together, or stops families from being together, then we shouldn’t do it.’ He noted that politicians ‘shying away’ from ‘speaking the truth about behaviour, about morality’, has ‘actually helped to cause the social problems we see around us. We have too often avoided saying what needs to be said – about everything from marriage to welfare to common courtesy.’

Pray: for the restoration of biblical values of family and morality. (Lev.18:4)
