Why did David Cameron lie to us?

David Cameron promised in March last year that a Conservative government would ban Hizb-ut-Tahrir - "ban those extremist groups like Hizb-ut-Tahrir who are already here". So did Pauline Neville-Jones at the 2008 Conservative Party Conference "We will ban Hizb-ut-Tahrir – which has just called for American soldiers in the Gulf to be killed." and Chris Grayling in 2009 "We must ... where necessary to ban groups that mask an ideology of hate behind a public veil of moderation. We have just such an issue with the radical group Hizb’ut Tahrir. "

Yet nothing hs been done to ban Hizb-ut-Tahrir, why? Has David Cameron fallen for the pro-Islamic platitudes spouted by so many at the Foreign Office or was he never serious?
