Knowing that some politicans are masters of speaking 'untruths', lies to the rest of us, there's a fair amount of scepticism, that his words turn into action.

It might well be a lot of hot air, but the fact remains he actually said it.

It doesn't matter where that was. He'd have known it would be widely reported in the British press, which it has been.

Empty rhetoric or not, the fact remains that no leading politican, nevermind a leader, from any of the main political parties, have ever spoken publicly about these issues. Cameron did.

I'm sure lots of politicans, who've kept their traps firmly shut about this subject in the past, probably think he took an enormous risk by bringing it into the public arena, by even talking about it.

After all Cameron has a high profile Muslim in his own cabinet, Baroness Warsi. A politican happy to jump up and down demanding equality. Just as long as it fits in with her view of what being equal means. She doesn't think same sex couples should have equality, for instance, because she strongly opposes peoples' right to enter into a civil partnership, if they so wish, granting their union legal equality with that of married straight couples.

I am genuinely happy Cameron's become the first mainstream politican to talk about this subject, and at least realised it is an important issue for many people.

If it turns out to be a case of more guff, and meaningless platitudes, I'll be the first to attack him.

We'll just have to wait and see, but I'm happy the subject has at least become a newsworthy story, and therefore a public debate.
