I mean, I’m a conservative. I believe that you know, if you borrow too much, you just build up debts for your children to pay off. You put pressure on interest rates. You put at risk your economy. That’s the case in Britain. We’re not a reserve currency, so we need to get on and deal with this issue.
David Cameron
Cap the well, yes. Clear up the mess, yes. Make compensation – yes, absolutely. But would it be right to have legislation that independently targets BP rather than other companies? I don’t think that – would be right.

David Cameron
After the Berlin Wall came down I visited that city and I will never forget it. The abandoned checkpoints. The sense of excitement about the future. The knowledge that a great continent was coming together. Healing those wounds of our history is the central story of the European Union.
David Cameron
Today, hundreds of millions dwell in freedom, from the Baltic to the Adriatic, from the Western Approaches to the Aegean.

And because of this sensibility, we come to the European Union with a frame of mind that is more practical than emotional.
David Cameron

Inspirational Quotes by David Cameron
If I’ve learnt anything over the last six years it’s that the most important thing is the strength of our economy.

And I’m in absolutely no doubt that our economy will be stronger if we stay in and will be weaker and at risk if we leave.
David Cameron

David Cameron
Whether you either passionately think we should stay in, or on balance think we should stay in, or on a balance of risks think we should stay in – for heaven’s sake get out and vote in, because you might wake up and find out you’re out.
David Cameron
