'Only Fools and Horses' actor David Jason has given his opinion on former Disney starlet Miley Cyrus and confessed that he believes she epitomises everything that's wrong with modern society.

Speaking to Britain's The Sun newspaper recently, Jason explained that encouraging her to dress provocatively or behave in the way that the public are now used to means that she will continue to do so and her fans will think it's acceptable:

"Miley Cyrus epitomises what we have allowed. She has done it to break the mould. I can understand why, but we have given her the oxygen of publicity and encouraged it, so young girls will think it is the right way to attract men. We've lost our standards. Once upon a time if you said this or did that, you'd be off the air. They wouldn't dare show it."

He added: "It slowly drip feeds, erodes standards of politeness, manners and morality. It just drips and it takes us further and further down, and instead of inspiring us to look up, we are all going down."
