David Cameron has again defended his European allies, claiming some of the charges against them are "absolutely not true", saying he "wouldn't join" extremists.
David Cameron defended his European allies once again last night, claiming some of the charges levelled against them are “absolutely not true” and insisting he “wouldn’t join up” with parties that were racist or homophobic.
The allegations of extremism about the Tories’ European partners are well known, and have been covered extensively by Left Foot Forward. UK Gay News, however, have unearthed new evidence of homophobia against Michal Kaminski’s Polish Law and Justice party.
They are planning a clampdown on gay websites, with one leading MP claiming they would “monitor homosexual websites because we are dealing with the promotion of the so called ‘positive paedophilia’.” Speaking at Metro’s Cameron Direct question-and-answer session yesterday the Tory leader said:
“Some of the stories that have been written about them are absolutely not true. It made perfect sense for us to leave the grouping we were in. I have a very high regard for Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel for example, but we disagreed about the future of Europe.
“I wouldn’t join up with parties that were racist, homophobic or extremist in any way.”
Mr Cameron also defended his plans for marriage tax breaks and said he wouldn’t be afraid of standing up to President Obama.

“David – I think Britain has more chance of becoming the USA’s 51st state than losing its ’sovereignty’ to the EU! ”
Say if it were true, would you still support our membership of the EU?

I can’t imagine what a federal EU superstate would look like; it’s too far into the realms of rightwing loony fiction for any of us to speculate.
I’m also not sure the gang of four are ‘heroes’ for progressives, more like a historical cautionary tale. I think David Cameron is instinctively eurosceptic, smart enough to know withdrawal is nonsensical, but using the issue of Europe as red meat to his UKIP leaning supporters when he veers towards his compassionate rebranding which would otherwise put them off.

You should do more research into that. I think you don’t know the true position of your own side. 🙂

You understand the Conservative position very well.
