Man-of-the-people Dave 'Big C' Cameron writes at length in the grauniad...

He talks about 'social entrepreneurs', whatever they are (how do they differ from normal 'entrepreneurs' who the Tories have always bent over backwards to help shaft us?). I'm not sure why reducing regulation on business will stop kids graffitiing the street. Proper investment in housing might. Like most of Dave C's stuff it's Thatcherism thinly disguised as populist caring and sharing.
I note with hilarity the mention of truancy in the 'respect' agenda - Blair and co. have spent £1bn on truancy so far* and have made absolutely no difference, apart from wasting police time (which is an offence unless you're the Home Office) harassing children who have a legitimate reason to be out of school.
I confidently expect this charade of glib gimmicks, already announced programmes and Tony giving us his 'hard' look will make not an iota of difference, except that the prison population will continue to climb (already the highest in Europe - that's what tough penalties gets you) and shrill tabloid headlines without any substance will continue to dictate Home Office policy. Waste of space, the lot of them.
