JUST ANOTHER THIRD WAY THEOCRAT:

David Cameron: My faith and fear of failure (Geordie Greig and Joe Murphy, 06.11.09, Evening Standard)

David Cameron today revealed his faith in God, his fear of failure and his dread that another of his children could die.

In his most intimate interview so far, he said he prayed regularly but did not feel he had “a direct line” to God.

“If you are asking, do I drop to my knees and pray for guidance, no,” he said, adding that he had been a “questioning Christian” who struggled with tenets like the virgin birth.

“But do I have faith and is it important, yes. It's not always the rock that perhaps it should be.” [...]

David Cameron gave his strongest backing yet to London's long-awaited Crossrail scheme.

He said he had studied "all the economic arguments" and concluded that Crossrail could transform the capital.

"I think Crossrail has that transformational capability, to make London a more effective and economically successful city," he said.

"I back Crossrail. I want Crossrail to go ahead."

His comments will be a huge boost to Mayor Boris Johnson who is fighting to ensure the £16 billion east-west line is under construction in time for his re-election campaign.
