Hague tells Britons to work harder, stop complaining [View all]

There is only one way Britons can drag their country out of recession: "work harder", Foreign Secretary William Hague said in an interview published Sunday.

Hague said Britain's national work ethic had been declining for decades, with people convinced they could "live on expanded debt forever, rather than having to earn what we spend".

Britain sank back into recession last month after the economy shrank again in the first quarter, but the government has stuck by its deep spending cuts despite concerns they undermine growth.

"There's only one growth strategy: work hard," Hague told The Sunday Telegraph.
