英伦广角 2013-01-05 英国首相卡梅伦新年讲话

 Playing to win, David Cameron came off second best in this contest during his Christmas visit to British troops in Afghanistan. And his supporters will be hoping there will be no own goals for their Prime Minister or the coalition¹ in the New Year. 

 

On Britain's economic propect for 2013, Mr. Cameron's new year message was optimistic. On all the big issues that matter to Britain, we are heading in the right direction. 

 

And he issued a robust² defence on the government's controversial welfare reforms. 

 

"When people say we are gonna stop our welfare reforms because somehow it's cruel to expect people to work, we are saying no. Getting people into good job is absolutely vital, not just for them, but for all of us." 

 

But Mr. Cameron is facing a backlash against government's cuts for unlikely rebels. Shyer Touery who runs rural councils. We buy into the council tax fees. We buy into the need for savings³. We buy in for the need for the shares. we are all doing this. But there are certain things and certain costs you can not get away from. It costs us almost twice as much to collect a rubbish bin⁴ in a rural area than it does in an urban area. 

 

Labour claims Mr. Cameron's tough message are getting people off benefits into work, adds up to a tackle in the welfare state. "All those words were all right, but you can't build one nation as we think this country needs to do if what you are trying to do is destroying the foundations on which so many people depend. But the threat from you-keep whose supporters is now up to 15% according to a new pool will worry tourism more than labours attacks. But despite raising expectations among his MP is about a big speech due to make earlier in the new year. Redefining tour policy in the EU, there was nothing in Mr. Cameron's message about Europe, nor indeed about the other big issues that threatens to split the tourism in the New year. Gay marriage.

 

And there are concern to MP who questioned rather in 2013, Mr. Cameron will still his party in the right direction.
