Britain - "I have a problem, it is the Government's job to cope with it!"

Once we had British disease. Now we have: Cameron said: “There are pockets of our society that are not only broken, “but frankly sick....It is a complete lack of responsibility in parts of our society, people allowed to feel that the world owes them something.”
Earlier we had: Thatcher remains identified with her remarks to the reporter Douglas Keay, for Woman's Own magazine in September 1987:
I think we have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to understand "I have a problem, it is the Government's job to cope with it!" or "I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!" "I am homeless, the Government must house me!" and so they are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then also to help look after our neighbour and life is a reciprocal business and people have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations.
