EMF
Phenomenal speech by Cameron just now. Highly redolent of Blair in 96.
The most powerful line of the speech for me was ’stop treating children like adults and adults like children.’ A instant classic phrase reversal. Like JFK’s ‘Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.’ Or Mandy Rhys-Davies’ ‘He would, wouldn’t he!’
But the most powerful parts of the speech were for me the sections on character (or ethos, as Aristotle put it), particularly when he spoke about his son. This took enormous courage.
A very minor point, but did he really walk off the stage to a song by EMF, also known as Ecstasy Mother Fuckers?
