Having watched it all the way through, I am impressed with David Cameron, it was an excellent and quite wide ranging speech which touched on many subjects. Of course there will still be those who claim that there were no detailed policy statements but these will be the usual whingers and moaners from both the Right and the Left.

Stop the Blame Game
Although it is not extraordinary in human terms, to me the least attractive part of the current Global Financial Crisis is the blame game which started with “Greedy Bankers and their Bonuses”. We now have a flurry of hectic activity in both the USA, Britain, Europe and Japan that is designed or, is it just hoped, will cool the markets down.
I must be honest and state upfront that I have no great faith in any of the “bail out” solutions being proffered because I suspect that they have been cobbled together too hastily. It is a fact in life generally that you cannot have a “solution” until you have first defined the “problem” that you are trying to solve and I’m not sure that this has been or even can be done yet.
