Statesmanlike

Cameron's statement yesterday evening about Mubarak's resignation was statesmanslike. What a vast improvement on those squirm making statements of both Blair and Brown in similar circumstances. Despite the sometimes childish tone taken by Cameron at the Despatch Box he is developing little by little into an effective Prime Minister. What though to do about the Big Society which it seems is failing to get any real lift off. Someone needs to be put in charge of the project who not only believes in it but has the energy and the time to take it forward. Clearly Lord Wei is not able to do so. What though about Ken Clarke? If he believes in it he is the kind of Big Beast who would bring it to life. If he doesn't have the energy what about someone like John Major or Lamont? The Big Society project definitely needs a well known figurehead. The Big Society has not been well explained and needs to be. It is apparently something which is close to Cameron's heart although as he is somewhat inscrutable it is difficult to know what is or is not close to his heart. Is he really a eurosceptic or a low tax adherent or a supporter of our armed forces or of any of the other things which most Tories are keen on? It is difficult at times to know.
