Entering the debate on national identity and religious tolerance, the Prime Minister will declare an end to “passive tolerance” of divided communities, and say that members of all faiths must integrate into wider society and accept core values.

To be British is to believe in freedom of speech and religion, democracy and equal rights regardless of race, sex or sexuality, he will say. Proclaiming a doctrine of “muscular liberalism”, he will say that everyone, from ministers to ordinary voters, should actively confront those who hold extremist views.

He will also warn that groups that fail to promote British values will no longer receive public money or be able to engage with the state.

His speech, to an international security conference in Munich, comes after The Daily Telegraph disclosed the extent to which the British intelligence community fears the “unique threat” of terrorist attacks by radicalised British Muslims.

Mr Cameron will promise a new willingness to argue against and “defeat” extremist ideologies that lead some to engage in terrorism.

  1. “Cast-Iron” Dave has that nickname for a very good reason. And it isn’t complimentary.

  2. Just the other year he was telling us that British society ought to integrate more with Muslim values. Furthermore, he’s also appointed Muslim mega-mouth Sayeeda Warsi as Minister without Portfolio and she is Co-Chairman of the Conservative Party. She’s not even elected, but an appointed member of the House of Lords! Over the past few weeks she has been berating the English in particular and the British more broadly for making ‘Islamophobia’ (sic) socially acceptable, and she has declared war on this attitude.

    The reality of what we can expect from Cameron is not “muscular liberalism”, but muscular political correctness. His reference to “extremist ideologies” in the plural is not aimed at Islamism and Leftism, but Islamism and nationalism. He and his administration are a disaster for our country, just as were his Labour predecessors. His words are nothing more than an anodyne administered to a dying patient – the British (particularly the English) people – to soothe their way into oblivion.

  3. Lets see if Cameron actually means it, and backs it up with actions.

    It may be that he is worried that the EDL is getting too popular, and it is likely his intentions are to spike the guns of the EDL.

  4. If David Cameron can discover some vestige of “British values”, and find a way to articulte them (which is just about- no, TOTALLY impossible without mentioning the “C” word or being judgemental), then his time would be better spent assimilating the drunken, drug addled, violent, puke spattered, celebrity obsessed, self obsessed, sex obsessed, idle, ingnorant, uneducated,impolite, irresponsible, unresponsible, faithless, Godless, soulless, valueless, cultureless natives of what used to be a pleasant, decent country, generally at ease with itself; into British culture.

  5. DP111 it probably has a lot more to do with the article posted by A Millar on the MI6 revelations.

  6. Here are the words Durotrigan is talking about:

    “British Muslims see a society that hardly inspires them to integrate. Indeed, they see aspects of modern Britain which are a threat to the values they hold dear. Not for the first time, I found myself thinking that it is mainstream Britain which needs to integrate more with the Muslim way of life, not the other way around.”

    Such nonsense and surrender speaks for itself.

  7. DP111 I think they are, the libs are seeing what is happening in across the channel and are afraid that a new anti-Moslem party will arise to take power away from the normally powerful parties. According to my father all politicians are by definition crooks, liars and horses a$$e$, after that he started getting cynical about them. But in democratic countries they usually have sensitive ears about when the voters are getting angry, the EDL and the Moslem reaction is scaring them, they are in the process of deciding if they are going to support the native population or the invaders.

  8. Multiculturism is a cancer and it needs to be eradicated. Countries after countries are coming to the realization that multiculturism just doesn’t work. Not all cultures are equal. Time to re-evaluation this leftwing ideology.

  9. It is past time to re-evaluate the far left’s ideology, but as usual it takes a major disaster followed by a major war for something like this to happen.
