According to the Grauniad's version he sounds a little saner. He talks of making a national citizen's service available to all 16-year-olds" and that the government "would look at the "twisting and misrepresenting of human rights that has undermined personal responsibility". The pledge to "turn around the lives of the 120,000 most troubled families" is there, though.
It also sounds as though he's trying to fend off the hard right -- which simply wants more cops on the beat and harsher penalties -- and tie this into his already existing education initiatives.
So he doesn't sound so much demented as embattled. OTOH, Miliband is presenting well over this, which is not good for Cameron in the long run.
