• it seems he's sticking with his pledge to replace the HRA with a bill of rights, despite the criticism he received when the policy was first proposed back at the end of June
• he's calling for a dedicated minister to "pull together" counter-terrorism efforts
• as well as a "dedicated border police force" - perhaps forgetting that most of the 20-odd people arrested recently were home-grown Britons
• he's calling for more "preachers of hate" to be expelled from Britain
• vaguely, he says: "why has so little been done to minimise the impact of imams who come to Britain and preach, often with little knowledge or appreciation of British values"
• he's proposing a "national school leaver programme"
• Martha Kearney picked up on an interesting point, which is that Cameron throughout his speech referred to a "struggle against terrorism" rather than a "war on terrorism". He clearly realises that adopting the Bush lexicon would be a political landmine, even if many of his fellow Conservatives would be comfortable with it.

What can we conclude? Cameron is, indeed, an "heir to Blair". He's making policy on the hoof (just like Blair) in response to events, without due consideration to the implications of his proposals. Also, many of the policies really do sound like a Conservative slant on New Labour - what exactly does he mean by a "national school leaver programme"? Cameron's rhetoric is reactionary, gimmicky and dangerous.

Cameron accuses the government of "ineffective authoritarianism". Perhaps he thinks he's the one to provide effective authoritarianism.
