British Prime Minister David Cameron ... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ... has been criticised for not keeping his vows as he should on immigration cut.
Cameron shocked Westminster when he changed a pledge to cut an annual figure from 200,000 to "tens of thousands."
The Prime Minister said the reduced migration figure in 1980s was not the government's policy and was an "ambition."
Coalition Lib Dems were angry with Cameron last week when he criticised Labours for the "biggest influx of migrants" in his speech.
"Calling it an ambition, an aim or a target is just classic slipperiness with words from David Cameron," Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said.
Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Business Secretary Vince Cable are happy to follow their attacks. The chairperson of MigrationWatch campaign also accused Cameron of backpedalling.
According to the polls, most UK people consider immigration as a crucial issue and therefore believe Cameron has betrayed them with breaking vows.

What obligation does a country have to unrestricted immigration? Particularly if they are unfriendly to your culture and way of life? Cameron should have followed up with his pledge. Politicians must troll for votes everywhere.
