Dignity matched with dignity

A classy beginning to his first speech as Prime Minister by David Cameron:

"Compared with a decade ago this country is more open at home and more compassionate abroad. On behalf of the whole country, I would like to pay tribute to the outgoing Prime Minister for his long record of public service."

In Gordon Brown's farewell and Cameron's hello, we have seen two statesman acting with grace and dignity. Such a change from the Blairs' departure and all that "tah-rah, we won't miss you" chippiness.
