Newsnight: Cameron Bravura Performance?

Iain Dale links to The Mail's Ben Brogan reviewing Cam on Newsnight:

On immigration he gave the plain answer I mentioned earlier -
"it's been too high" - while making the sensible point that under
Labour we've had inflammatory language but ineffective action,
and that needs to be reversed

Which divides into being half a fair point and half a bit rich from the man who coordinated the dog whistling for the "are you thinking etc" campaign of 2005. Labour would I think rush to agree a bi-lateral cooling down of immigration rhetoric.

As Ben continues:

(that said his solutions - transitional controls for new EU states and quotas - sound a bit woolly).

A bit woolly? Come on! Everything to do with Cam is more than a bit woolly and this was a lot woolly. Looks like a bit of a bottomless pit of emptiness there in the middle of that warm blue coffee table.

To be fair I only caught the last 60 seconds of this live and have yet to hit rewind. But in that 60 seconds and particularly the last 15 I thought that at least two of the esteemed panel were looking at him in a way that said:
"You are completely gaga".
