Prime Minister’s Speech

Asked what the key message in this speech was, the Prime Minister's Official Spokesman (PMOS) said that the speech was titled "Not a Clash of Civilisations, But Rather a Clash About Civilisation." The Prime Minister's argument was that we had to be prepared to take on extremism both at home and overseas and first and foremost confront the ideas behind it. We had to confront the absurd anti-Americanism, confront the feudal view of governance, confront anti-feminism and confront hostility to other religions and so on. At the same time whilst we had to do all we could to take on those issues, we also had take on, politically, issues such as Palestine, environmental degradation, injustice and poverty.
