Cameron's "statement" in the House of commons yesterday (29th November 2012) in response to the Leveson report, was pathetic as were his "answers" to subsequent questions. It was not only Milliband who was shaking his head in stunned disbelief. The cracks and splits in the coalition were abundantly clear as soon as the deputy prime Minister began to speak in his own unprecedented response to the report. Clegg's statement was diametrically opposite to that of the prime Minister in the fundamental area of legal under pinning of press regulation. Another area where the Conservatives and the Liberal democrats are uneasy bedfellows. It is not surprising that Clegg and his LibDems are crumbling away from this disastrous rag bag coalition, and a Prime Minister who seems determined to ignore all the recommendations and findings arising from the Leveson report and kick the whole subject "into the long grass" with yet more committees, meetings, analyses anything in fact to ensure that the matter may be forgotten. The status quo of a self regulating body "marking their own homework" must be changed and it must be changed now.
