LONDON — Former Prime Minister Tony Blair on Sunday rejected the British government’s claim that this month’s riots were caused by the country’s moral decline, and said talk of “broken Britain” would unfairly tarnish the nation’s reputation.
Prime Minister David Cameron has blamed Britain’s “slow-motion moral collapse” for the riots which raged for four nights in London and other English cities.
Blair wrote in The Observer newspaper that the violence was not caused by social rot, but by “alienated, disaffected youth,” who are found in most developed nations.
