Re: Built to Last

Okay, quoting the same article..

Quote:
Mr Cameron launched a series of policy reviews when he became Tory leader last December, which are not due to report until next year. In the meantime, he has refused to get into any detail, although he has made clear the direction in which he intends to go.

"I think it's wise to take your time on policy – you don't want to come out too early with your detailed ideas because they are liable to get lifted by the opposition," Mr Lamont told epolitix.com.



In the policy announcements that Mr Cameron has made, he has clearly broken with Margaret Thatcher's government in stating that there "is such thing as society, it's just not the same as the state", while this weekend he criticised her opposition to Nelson Mandela and the ANC in the 1980s.



But he has also announced plans to extend the right-to-buy, a key Thatcherite policy, and today Mr Lamont warns of the dangers of breaking too much with the old Conservative party, regardless of the need to update the Tories for the 21st century.

Why did you miss this bit out? because it painted Cameron in a good light?

You copied and pasted mid setence on the 'right-to-buy' paragraph, hope that wasn't because anouncing plans to extend the right-to-buy is the start of a formulating a policy!

We can all selectivly copy and paste to try and prove a point.. I dont think you're ment to though! True New Labour eh Mr Jones!
