Is it not taken as given from the quote I just posted?

I agree with what Cameron said and it's pathetic that these issues can't be raised without someone jumping up and denouncing him as a far-right extremist.

'Insiders say Cameron, along with education secretary, Michael Gove, the home secretary, Theresa May, and the security minister, Dame Pauline Neville-Jones, accept there has been too much of what the prime minister calls "passive tolerance" of extremist groups in recent years, while Nick Clegg and Baroness Warsi, the Tory party chairwoman, prefer a more multicultural approach.'

Has the Conservative party chairperson, Baroness Warsi, commented yet...publicly?

'David Cameron’s speech today at the Munich Security Conference came as a breath of fresh air after the debacle of Baroness Warsi’s controversial address at Leicester University, which did not carry the endorsement of Downing Street. In contrast to the Conservative Party chairman, Cameron addressed the issue of Islamist terrorism and extremism head on, and delivered a speech that was far more in tune with the views of the British public. Warsi’s crude and condescending depiction of Britain as increasingly a nation of bigots in the grip of “Islamophobia” was hugely out of touch with Middle England and most of her own party.'

Can't find any of her comments myself, so far, but look forward to reading them when she does.

I have recently received to letters from a lottery funding basicly saying thank you for your funding bid but we dont have enough money in the pot so you cant have any.

These were for less than £100,000 combined (can't remember the exact figures without looking) so 2 parks in Hyndburn, Rhyddings Park and Peel Park will be missing out. Its ok though, you can watch the Olympics on TV for a couple of weeks instead, well worth it

Ya but just think the benefit you've gain Neil, being able to attend the Royal Ballet and the National Opera House every month, you can't have it both ways mate

This is what she's said according to Fury as Labour 'smears' David Cameron after he attacks multiculturalism | Mail Online

Labour MPs then weighed in by accusing Mr Cameron of inflammatory timing for making his speech on the day when the EDL was marching in Luton.

But Tory Chairman Baroness Warsi described Mr Khan’s remarks as an attempt to ‘smear’ the Prime Minister as a Right-wing extremist.
‘This is outrageous and irresponsible,’ she said.

Condemnation: Baroness Warsi described Mr Khan's comments as outrageous and irresponsible

‘David Cameron has made it clear he wants to unite Britain around our common values, and he has done so in measured language.

'It is right that we make it clear: extremism and Islam are not the same thing. Mr Khan ran Ed Miliband’s leadership campaign. He must apologise and Mr Miliband needs to disown his colleague’s baseless accusation.’

Its not actually that they have not been on AccyWeb as they have been very quick to comment on "local issues" yet something which gets the attention of virtually every person in this country either local or national, the silence is golden

Oh right, she's toeing the party line, to give the illusion of unity.

Judging from her past statements, it would be interesting to know the Baroness's thoughts...off the record.

...and the Tory councillors we have as members on here, now quite numberable, have been different how?

You could find that come May some rolls might be reversed

[garinda]

As stated earlier, I'm genuinely suprised, and happy, that Cameron said what he did. Being the first high profile politican to do so.

I hope he continues to suprise me, by turning words into action.

Having now opened the can of worms, I am quite hopeful.
