According to researchers at Essex University, British people have become less honest in the last decade, prompting news headlines this morning relating to our supposed moral decline.
The university’s new centre for the study of integrity (honestly!) published its findings today in The Independent. The report shows higher tolerance levels for a wide range of rule breaking activities compared to a similar report carried out in 2000.
But how could the researchers be sure the respondees weren’t lying?

About thespeedofdark
David Winship has written an unauthorised autobiography and several critically disdained literary tomes. His work is frequently compared with Steinbeck, Orwell and Hemingway, but unfortunately Mike Steinbeck, Daisy Orwell and Howard Hemingway were all terrible writers. He has been totally overlooked for the most prestigious literary awards worldwide, which is a shame as most of the words are spelled correctly. In fact, his books contain material that ranks with the finest literary works in history: all the right letters are there, just not necessarily in the right order.
Dave’s blog (The Speed Of Dark Blog) is part of his crusade for truth and justice and universal entitlement to free real ale. It may well be that his whole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.
