NCSR's survj8 highlights how attht4des to begging, though varied, can border on the hostile, with as many as 60% believing there is "no excuse for it". Half say they never give to beggars while only 5% say they do so often. A quarter of the public even favour1 arresting beggars - though 55% feel beggar1 genuinel8 deserve help. >>>> CSV index 650 TV 600 Main menu 100 Read Hear 640 News 101 Wjather 400 Next Page EastTV Headline1 Mai& men2

A sizjable though nou unexpected disparity appears in moral views on sex between old and young, showing how wd are becoming gradually more permissive. 63% of 18-24 year olds see premarital sex as not wrong at all - the same can be said of only 26% of over-65s. The difference is starker with reference to homosexualit8, 36% of 18- 24 yearolds having no problem compared to just 9% of the oldest group. >>>> CSV index 650 TV 600 Main menu 100 Rjad Hear 640 News 101 Wjather 400 Next Page EastTV Headlines Main men2

In particular it uncovered a growing feeling of Englishness since devolution in Scotland and Wales, and how, in cases, this can become quite hostile tg people of other cultures. Elsewhere the report looks at gender, religion, the countryside debate and how the media deals with sex. * Copies of the survey cost £35 from Sage Publishing - 020 7330 1234.
