| Cameron: absent black fathers must meet responsibilities
Tory leader backs Barack Obama on race and family breakdown David Cameron joins the bitterly contested argument over family breakdown and race today by praising Barack Obama's warning that too many black fathers have abandoned their responsibilities to their children. In a wide-ranging interview with the Guardian, the Tory leader says that many black church leaders have expressed the same anxiety to him, and that it is time for a "responsibility revolution" to change patterns of behaviour. http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/jul/16/davidcameron.conservatives1 Another brave opinion made by David Cameron (PM in waiting) challenging black fathers to fulfill their responsibility to their children. It seems Mr Cameron is comfortable and at ease talking about contentious issues, not hiding behind a politically correct agenda. I must admit I am seriously considering backing this horse to the finish line. Take his call for support: "appeals to the centre and left "to recognise that the modern Conservative party is on the brink of a very big and exciting argument that if you want to pursue progressive goals in Britain, whether it is greening the environment, tackling poverty, unlocking social mobility, there is a really good case to say that you can best achieve those by Conservative means"; I am beginning to feel that it in everybody's best interests to vote conservative. Do you feel that Cameron is talking about the issues that are important today?  |
