Seven in 10 Brits think society has become less respectful over the past two years, according to new research. A survey of 4,000 adults found 16 per cent had seen someone screaming or shouting at another member of public in a retail store. Racist, sexist or homophobic abuse has been witnessed by 14 per cent while out shopping or walking. And one in 10 people had seen someone scream or shout at a member of staff in hospital. Two thirds now think the levels of disrespect in the UK have reached an unacceptable level - with 71 per cent feeling the problem has got worse in the last two years. But, while Brits say society is getting worse in terms of the abuse they see, three quarters has admitted dishing it out THEMSELVES.
