He makes a very strong case (in my opinion) for the fact that what's going on isn't mindless, they're doing it for a reason. We may not agree but something is motivating them.

i heard this man and he is very intelligent and makes a good point. However I think in Cameron's defence the use of the word 'senseless' is understandable but like all politicians he is a short term thinker for long term problems. The academic didn't seem to grasp the need for cracking down on the problem right now though. Any society that doesn't have force of law or the threat of it is in big trouble. A combination of this and serious solution finding as he mentions is essential.
