I see Cameron has played the race card today.

I wonder Lox if you're maybe making it too easy for Cameron. You call people names like racist, when they are voicing quite legitimate concerns. If moderate politicians can't debate openly - can't say something is going wrong with a part of the community that is producing suicide bombers and now these terrible sex crimes, you are making it very easy for the tory party - which as we have we have seen in the past is a far from moderate party.

Kinnock did the same sort of thing when he he insisted on a going for a policy of nuclear disarmament - at a time when Galtieri could have solved all his problems with one nuclear bomb, had we been so disarmed.

Principles are something that people will respect when you are in power - not a way of demonstrating to the electorate that you are too weak to face up to the problems and responsibilities of power.
