Coalition plans to introduce state-funded nannying are "in no way a return to the nanny state", a defiant David Cameron told critics today.
At the launch of the Can Parent initiative - something Steve Hilton phoned in before he disappeared to California in an attempt to 'find himself' - the Prime Minister denied this was in any way a case of government involving itself in things he'd previously said that goverment shouldn't be involved in.
"I may have spent years in opposition complaining about Labour interfering in people's daily lives, but this is completely different. This is government getting involved in people's entire lives, even before they're born." He continued, saying "it's a totally different ideology. Labour are wedded to the idea of a centrist state and their ideas on this same issue come from that. I'm coming at it from the perspective of saying and doing anything so people are momentarily distracted from the fact that I keep blaming the Eurozone for an economic mess when they're not in recession and we are. It's completely different."
"This is not the nanny state", he concluded, "but a state service instructing people in the art of nannying. It's totally different".
Mr Hilton was unavailable for comment as he was roller-blading down Santa Monica beach whilst wearing a stupidly small pair of cut-off jeans.
