Cameron Hails Hannan’s “Brilliant Response”
In an email tonight to Conservative Party supporters Dave hails
Dan Hannan’s brilliant response to Gordon Brown in the European Parliament. It was so effective and shows the growing power of the internet over TV.
Meanwhile Sir Michael White is getting a lashing from his own readers on the Guardian website for, well, just not getting it. Douglas Carswell MP is taking the opportunity on his blog to remind Sir Michael that he recently mocked Carswell for saying YouTube was going to be politically important. On the other hand Guido has to give full credit to John Prescott, who clearly does get it:
I must say I find the internet sensation caused by Dan Hannan’s speech to the European Parliament remarkable. Normally, an obscure Eurosceptic Tory MEP would not get any coverage for a rant against the Prime Minister in the mainstream media. And it proved to be the case. None of the networks or the newspapers originally covered it. But once he uploaded it onto YouTube it took off. Firstly it got up to 30,000 hits after being promoted by Guido Fawkes on his website. Then it exploded in the US once it was put on the Drudge Report site. The mainstream media were then forced to cover it and it has now been seen by more than a million people. I think this is a perfect example of the power shift away from the mainstream media to the internet. Instead of having to get past the editorial filter of journalists and editors, people are starting to set the news agenda and the hacks are having to catch up.
All the left-wing think-tanks and pressure groups have been having seminars and meetings on how to harness the internet “after Obama”. Maybe they should have looked to Ron Paul instead, he had a clear libertarian political message that he articulated via the internet. The internet insurgency shook up the Republican party during the U.S. primaries when Ron Paul, then a little known anti-War Republican running for President, shocked the U.S. political establishment by raising over $4 million online – in one day. It was not for nothing that his campaign song was “Google Ron Paul”.
Hannan’s first choice for U.S. president was the libertarian Republican, not really surprising considering Hannan and Carswell are two of the most libertarian leaning Conservative politicians. If you read their book “The Plan“, you will see they both get the internet and the effect it will have on politics. Right now some 1 1/4 million people have “Googled Dan Hannan”…
Let’s not forget Dave was quite happy to see Dan kicked out of the EPP, but then he knows an opportunity when he sees one. Remember that Roger and Dan are rebels who do not follow Tory policy on the European Union so put this into context.
Hannan on newsnight tonight was implying we should get the hell out of the EU and dictate our own laws and regulations, unlike the pathetic anti democracy EU puppet `Dave!`
Why the hell is Hannan in the blue labour eu puppet party, there are clearly more suitable parties for him, unless he can be Tory leader.
Challenge for leadership Dan, the public is 100% with you, you are what the country needs with immidiate effect.
Now doubt `Dave` and his Bilderburge EU stooges will have you hobbled with immidiate effect!
Dan for Tory leader
Hannan has a seat at the next Bilderberg conference.
Feel free to research it.

Daniel Hannan Newsnight 2009-03-27
Who’s the `headbanger` now Guido?
He may be going to check it after the grooming invite OH but considering his stance on the EU and Libertarianism, he has yet to cross over to the dark side seeing as both these stances are anti NWO.
He is clearly not yet compromised or blackmailed, unlike his EU advocates, such as Fatty and the gang alledgedly.
If Hannan goes to the dark side they will offer him all manner of prizes to betray his people, however if he does not – at the best – Oblivion and at the worst – a walk in the woods.

Ministry of Justice a ‘shambles’ after crime statistics still don’t add up
By James Slack
Last updated at 1:03 AM on 28th March 2009
Daily Mail
Ministers were last night caught up in an embarrassing new row over crime figures.
The Ministry of Justice was forced to withdraw a set of already delayed sentencing statistics because of errors.
They contained a series of mistakes over how many criminals were being sent to jail, rather than escaping with a fine or community punishment.
Hi
Daniel Hannan’s response to Gordon Brown in the E Parliament re: economy – agree… absolutely brilliant – at last someone has said it how it really is; that GB is a terrible economist – was a lousy Chancellor just riding on the crest of a encomic wave, and is now probably the most hated PM we have ever had. And, yes, I am one of those trusting idiots who voted this lot in! Have seen the light now though.
Enlightment is a wonderful thing! Well done.
Fortunately I was lucky and could recognise Blair & Brown in Opposition as the two charlatans that they are! Leopards and spots is a good rule of thumb.
Hi Snake Oil
Please see my comment below to Anonymous – its for you also.
with regards
Oh, Hi, to you too. We don’t get a lot of that around these parts. aaaaaaah.
Now where was I , er glad you’ve seen the light.
I said the first day this pair were elected ït will all end in tears it always does with Labour governments’”
Sad it took so long but at least the worm has finally turned and they are on their way to oblivion for ever hopefully
Hi Anonymous
thanks for your comment on my comment above.
Actually I saw the light some time in 2007 as per my post on myblog page…… but was really just commenting that Daniel Hannan said it ‘full on’ and it was reported fully. Should be on the BBC 24 News though, in my opinion.
with regards
White and the rest of the guardianista are as far out as my first shit!!
Listened to him on the Guardian podcast thing the other day. What a smug arsewipe.
I hark back to a chemistry lecture in my youth, I think about the discovery of how carbon molecules bond in some compounds. The discoverer apparently had a dream of a snake eating its own tail. I may be wrong… no matter. Now, thanks to this case, I would wish a skilled cartoonist could create a ring, comprising the great and ‘good’ of our inter-dependent, self-serving, Westminster Useful Village Idiot politico-media establishment (Brown, Mandleson, Draper, White, Robinson, Neill, Mardell… it could be a big ring) connected, not with hands in pockets (I think that’s been done), bent over with their heads buried in the place the sun don’t shine of the next in line. That, to me, would sum up the current state of government, and the media that ‘report’ to the public they are in theory supposed to serve (and in the case of the BBC, uniquely funded to do so objectively).
The hexagonal structure of benzene was revealed in a dream to the German chemist F.A. Keule in 1890
this comment on White’s article in The Guardian offers sound advice:

I think Michael White needs to draw a penis on the Guardian office roof in order to lure the Google Earth crowd.
Then he can start to attack Daniel Hannan from a position of internet-savvy superiority.
Guido. The reason why blogs such as this one, the dozens of Ron Paul blogs, alternative ‘truther sites, drudge, globalresearch.ca, rawstory, etc, etc is only because of the corruption and lies, thieving, sob’s. Deep respect for people like you, Guido. And I think most of the followers of the alternative media have personal experience of beiing victims of this corruption in politics and law and thus are not disuaded by being called ‘kooks’.
P.S. I support alternative media by reading the advertisments on any sites which mention Guido, Hannan, Ron Paul, Nigel Farrage and Waitrose. Thank you.
…and Waitrose.
Are you suggesting “The Special One” is planning to liberate England…?
Waitrose is shit
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.
Forget the dead you’ve left, they will not follow you.
The vagabond who’s rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Strike another match, go start anew
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue.
Yes Gordon “It’s all over now”
Thanks Mr Zimmerman, great song!

Recognize the great with words and admire them Leopard Skin, and shun the shysters as you would yesterdays news that you get in the dead tree press or the `bbc.
<61 years old and still learnin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Prescott now accuses you – “after being promoted by Guido Fawkes on his website”!
Is that so? Were you ‘promoting’ then, or simply reporting?
Prescott – paranoia personified.
With the BBC finaly giving in and airing the Hannan speech all the usual labour co herts in the media must now Know that thier game is over,people power via the internet is showing that the labour lies and smears can,t be hidden or brushed aside.On the poliitcs show Derek showed his true colours,arrogant, bullying and worst of all is the unquestionable loyalty to a failed and broken party chaired by an obviosly homosexual leader not that bieng gay is a crime but hiding it behind a wife and kids is so wrong. As for Hannan being unpatriotic according to Mr White ,if hiding the financial trouble the statsi laws,the second home secretary,Mcnulty etc etc this is not only unpatriotic its near treason.If I could ask Mr Darling one question it would be ,what will happen if this financial stimulas fails and the pound drops another 10 to 15%.
It has already failed thats why McBust wanted another bout of stimulus and the BoE prevented him because he’s a;ready blown everything he heas.
Brown now has only two options really after the failure of the G19.5
1) Call an eelction now before he has to take an axe to public services and jobs which he will do after an election if voted back in.
2) Shoot himself
The mans mad and we are doomed aye… DOOOOOOMED I SAY
I thought Wan King was a town in China till I discovered Guido.
In truth, having only found the internet and blogging in the last 6 months I can only say WOW.
It has inspired me to become active at a local level and makes me feel that,Yes I can make a difference.
Like ‘Garlic Bread’ Guido and his talented contributors are the future.
I thought Cunni Lingus was an Irish airline until I discovered Guido.
sorry couldn’t resist.
I thought Hertz van rental was a dutch painter
I thought 4 Q was a rap outfit
The reason Hannan’s speech is so popular, and has become such a phenomenon, is not necessarily because of the man himself (he is a very good orator, though), or his policies: But because he happens to have said what the vast majority of us ordinary people are thinking.
Brown IS the devalued prime mentalist of a devalued government.
I’m sure there have been plenty of Euro MP speeches by lefties, none of which have been seen by anyone, as far as I can tell. Mind you, maybe they were muffled due to the speaker’s tounge being wedged in Brown’s ample derriér.
Spot on mate!
i think its more (but you are correct re the speech) – I think DH is that rare breed – he has principles – and this means he can coherently string together an argument. He speaks well and I think in this dumbed down world that actually comes across well .
His thoughts on the small government and responsibility strike a chord with many people who have a traditional or conservative bent.
I think he is the real deal – Cameron and co. had better watch out
“Dan Hannan’s brilliant response to Gordon Brown in the European Parliament. It was so effective and shows the growing power of the internet over TV.”
Yeah, and I bet that was written through gritted teeth. As much as many of us would love to see Hannan as an MP in Westminster, it’s doubtful that it would happen under Dave’s watch — he wouldn’t want to be upstaged, would he? As much as Prescott is an oaf, he’s certainly grasped what the internet can do, and how to do it properly.
That’s a pity, checked the lists on Toryhome, he is not listed as standing at the next EUro’s, would actually have got my vote.
Don’t think Prescott has grasped properly what the Internet can do. He is a man who held public transport brief, environment brief, and was in charge of setting current planning procedures. His powerful insight on the 3rd runway at Heathrow on the one occaion it has had Parliamentary debate: A vlog complaining that the debate stopped him going to Brussels to discuss Georgia.
A waste of band width, yet still the best they have got.
Prescott is an oaf with plenty of time on his hands; thus his “discovery” of the internet, probably via porn obviously to start with.
Please, I haven’t had my breakfast yet…
Spotted him strutting round the shops in York last weekend. He was wearing his shades yet still pleading to be recognised. And he stank of meat pies.
The Guardian’s Comment is Free section reminds me of freak pointing, which was a fairground attraction from an episode of Father Ted. People like Michael White and Polly Toynbee are completely out of touch with normal people, and indeed they are not normal people. They do not mingle with normal people and they do not share the concerns of normal people. They are the freaks. The comments underneath the article amount to freak pointing.
“It looks like a baby, but it’s actually a spider”
In my humble cludgee cleaner opinion I believe Mr Hannan to be a catalyst.
Up till now all the the ingredients were there as in an unbelievably catastrophically inept government and an able opposition but no reaction until the missing ingredient was added in the form of someone to articulate the nations wrath, and cometh the hour cometh the man;
I salute you with my Turks Head brush and Marigold Gloves Daniel
Hannan has indeed articulated the nation’s wrath – what wouldn’t I have given to had his opportunity – and the Great Colostomy had to sit there and take it. Oh Yes! Almost orgasmic. And despite what the trolls might think, I think Cameron has already grasped what a great service Hannan has done us all hence the mail tonight. He has managed to do something the entire tory party couldn’t manage, thanks to ZNL’s control of the media – get coverage!
I’m mildly schizophrenic about Dave – he still thinks he can lose the next election (which, if the Tory party are given freedom – they easily can).
He doesn’t want to offend anyone. The scars of Maggie and then their walkabout in nowheresville run deep and haven’t healed. He can’t be seen as an amateur and have an un-coordinated media line, yet he can’t just engage in guerilla hit and run attacks.
It’s a tough gig – it really is. I guess that’s what happens with most elections in all 2 party states – they start off in their cores and move to the centre.
It certainly isn’t helped by the fact that very few have come up with either a decent narrative of our way out of this clusterfuck or a commitment to prevent it happening again. Dave’s working slower than we would want perhaps but he only has 1 deadline – all the others are bollox. I do kinda worry about Obama – this is the biggest gamble the world has ever seen – political capital has its own problems.
Last week though I think Hannan was eclipsed by Merv King – “sorry Betty, but we’re skint”.
Our hero is Hannan,
He’s just like a cannon,
He shoots straight and has a good aim;
He is witty and apt -
His words can’t be capped -
He merits political fame.
Jeeeeeez and I thought you were a cannon as the actress said to the Bishop
I have the good fortune to be proud to bask in Daniel Hannan’s well deserved success. My take on a blogger defeat of the MSM has been a tiny bit of reflected glory. The blogger world is getting a lovely place to be. Guido was a pioneer and must get plaudits as well. However, it is all of us that are to be pleased and politicians are going to have to shape up or face a hannan if they are hoons!
Can’t stand Prescott normally. He was a disgrace as DPM BUT he’s come into his own recently. Yeah most of the time he’s a laughing stock, however he shows himself a bigger man than poisonous, idiotic sourfaced scum that is Draper. Prescott takes it in good spirits and responds in kind. Draper look learn and wish…….
Don’t you mean “look, learn and WASH”?
Draper, Gordon and Co are at risk of their Ceauşescu Moment some time very soon.
What are the odds of Gordon being “billy no mates” at the Excel?
Excel…oh! the irony. SHuhnehorope Baths would be more appropriate.
dont ever give Prescott anything
He wasted money
He screwed up everything he touched
He shagged his secretary in office time.
Any one of the above would have had a normal person run out of town
So no tears whatsoever for the thick twat.
Exactly. These discredited arseholes – Prescott, Campbell and their ilk- having fucked the country, their departments and many good reputations, recant and try to reinvent themselves. They employ devices such as being mates with the oppo, self deprecation and embracing pop culture.
Prescott is an evil nasty bully who wrecked everything he touched. Campbell even more toxic. Prescott’s self loathing turned him to sex and bulima. Campbell’s self hatred to alcohol and valium. Hope both these bastards die lonely and unloved.
one inch erect
This has been a stunner of a week.
The monks who write their illuminated scripts, the greasy printers and the sauve mellow voiced broadcasters are having an epiphony
The 646 have suddenly realised they may no longer control our information.
And information is EVERYTHING.
Thank you Hannan, Brillo, Guido.
Now it gets interesting
A very interesting week, but Jonah Browns world tour has been one of humiliation at every turn: Hannan in Stasbourg, king and queen upstaging him in USA, a blue eyed White in Brazil and the finale of the Chilean president telling him that you have to save before you spend.
I would feel sorry for him if he wasn’t such an arsehole.
And the G20 will top all these, how much longer will this zombie government last ?
Ask me again at the end of next week. If you can.
Interesting times
Spot on. China and Brazil are shaping up to hand Brown and Obama their ass at the G20.
The Chilean president really stuck it to Brown. Then Brown that the audacity to say that the IMF have said the UK is the best placed to weather the recession. A blatant lie, as the IMF have said the complete opposite. The unfortunate thing is none of the MSM have taken Brown to task for that obvious lie.
Any bets on the UK’s G20 status being revoked? Maybe they’ll let Zimbabwe in to replace us.
Great stuff, Guido. Your good self at your best.
Hannan is economically illiterate. If he had any power we’d be up the creek without a paddle. Just look at what he had to say about Iceland’s ‘economic miracle’ back in 2004.
“In the ten years that I have been travelling to Iceland, I have watched an economic miracle unfold there. Today, Icelanders are absolutely rolling in it. A people two generations away from subsistence farming have become international tycoons.
Look at the City of London, for heaven’s sake, which Brussels is doing its best to asphyxiate with its financial regulations.
Icelanders understand that there is a connection between living in an independent state and living independently from the state. They have no more desire to submit to international than to national regulation. That attitude has made them the happiest, freest and wealthiest people on earth.”
What a muppet!!
“What a muppet!!”
Another simply first rate rebuttal from another deluded nulab sheep (not wishing to be unfair to sheep, natch).
You’re becoming an endangered species, buddy.
There’s nothing more painful than the truth – especially for liars. You seem to be experiencing some discomfort.
To be fair he did say that, it got dug up at least a day ago
http://www.spectator.co.uk/print/the-magazine/cartoons/12658/blueeyed-sheikhs.thtml
But economically illiterate? Anyone want a bet that when this gets raised at more mainstream Mr Hannan’s response contains the word Basle.
And to be even fairer the Beeb still has past Mansion House speeches available for streaming and there is some wonderful quotes in there. First one I tried Gordon “will they change the locks while I’m away” Brown 2007 1:20 in
“this is an era that history will record as the beggining of a new golden age for the city of London”
Dead fair points, both. Many thanks for your moderation.
I knew I should have been nicer. Oh, the regret.
Absolutley brilliant, as I have said so before. Well it looks like George Soros is predicting in the ‘Times’ that the UK will probably have to go to the IMF for bail-out loans.
If Gordon MacRuin and his ‘Mouthpiece’ Baldrick Darling tell us everything is ‘Tickety Boo’, then that is the time to worry. It looks more and more of a certainty that that MacRuin will have to go cap-in-hand for bail-out loans. Of course this will be the end of MacRuin.
The last time this happened with Sunny Jim Callaghan and Dennis Healey, inflation took off and rose to around 25 percent in the mid 1970s. This soon triggered a general election for the Thatcher administration to come in and try and sort the public finances. It looks like history might repeat itself again.
As Private Fraser would say….. “Were all dooooomned!”
Thanks a bunch MacRuin, you certainly knw how to screw things up. But we have to accept that the International Crisis is not of your doing…. Its just the UK’s finances you and the ‘king Bankers have screwed up.
So I do hope that the Men in White Coats do come and Gurney you away to a nice funny farm, somewhere long, long away on a far distant Galaxy…..
George Soros is not ‘predicting’ any such thing. He is simply stating a fact that he knows will happen because himself and his far more powerful and wealthy pals planned it to happen, a long time ago. These pals of GS actually own and control the IMF therefore the plot is now OBVIOUS to even a blind bat, on a moonless night.
Remember it is GS and his mates who are VERY largely responsible for the downfall of John Majors government, which resulted in this current shower of shit getting into dictatorial power in the first place.
GS may be a Monopoly corporate capitalist by definition but he is also a SELF CONFESSED Marxist Communist and proud to be so, and so are his chums. GS is in reality a FASCIST, but as there is in practice absolutely no difference between the two, what is in a name?
The real powers that control this world of theirs are many things. However one thing they never are, is conservative or anything to do ultimately with FREE anything, especially truly free markets of any kind.
his point is about personal freedom and the small state – idiot!!!
Soros will be short on Sterling
Told you so. Lefty rebuttal unit been working overtime on finding something, anything, with which to try and trash Hannan. All pointless. Everyone knows your shabby despicable little game now.
And in any event, Hannan is in print on exactly how we can return the UK to prosperity after 12 years of economic destruction under New Labour.
He is economically entirely literate. if you want a good example of economic illiteracy look to your own party. Look to Gordon Brown
Iceland? So if it was that obvious back in 2004 that Hannan is an “economic illiterate” what does that say about the then Chancellor?
You’re needed back at the office Winston, there are some big jobs in; sorry about that phrase.
This week has indeed been a turning point. I’ve been privileged to watch and be part of it as it unfolds.
I’m new to blogging, having only started on blogspot only a month or so ago, but I’m sure there are more like me that found the internet after finding the bias and untruths in the mainstream unbearable.
I well remember as a youngster listening to the outputs of the BBC World Service and Radio Moscow and comparing the two to form my own opinion of what was happening in the world.
I get the same feeling now. I’ve understood the bias in the mainstream and moved on to find my counterbalancing source of information.
I hope the mainstream takes note and now starts to engage more with those commentators on the internet. They DO count and they CAN make a difference. The political parties also need to take note: they can’t provide manipulation, bias and spin, we have alternative sources to coroborrate or deny. They have to be truthful in their dealings with us.
The abomination that is Labourlist is an example of all that is wrong when attempting to engage with the internet blogosphere. It spins and promotes and attempts to manipulate through smear.
I hope that Labourlist is consumed and something more worthy and honest rises from the ashes. Labour do themselves no favours by letting it stand in its current form.
And I sincerely hope that ALL political parties start to be more open and honest in future, because if not, they will be found out and it will be reported.
I agree, Delphius but expecting incumbent political party’s to repent is expecting too much me thinks. What we need is new politics with natural honesty and morality. Night nicht, early start up London tomorrow.
you have put into words my very thoughts and mindset of realpolitik and the reporting of.
It makes me think there is a hope, that gradually (and slowly) a wider and more mature view of addressing politics and problems world wide will happen.
but for now … we still have a Huhne as a PM, will he last past a month after the G20.?
Prescott, for all his foibles is a savvy politician and has clicked with internet use.
I’d hope that his personal style of political debate shows the way for Labour. The impersonal, manipulative way of Labourlist should be consigned to the bin.
Then we might get down to some honest debate with Labour politicians. But the cynic in me condemns most of them as immature control freaks that won’t “get it”. Especially if the blogosphere criticises them.
Reporting on the G20 and the upcoming budget I think will be tremendous fun, especially as its looking more and more likely that Gordon Brown will be marginalised by the other countries as they close ranks and look after their own individual interests. It’ll be interesting to watch how Labour spin it and try to recover.
Got to admit, Prezza does seem to have some base, animal understanding of what’s happening in the alternative media. What people picked up with DH, was not just his obvious common sense and intelligence, but the effortless manner in which he sums up the stupidity of the New Left.
I assume that by “base, animal understanding” you mean that given a randy old bugger with time on his hands the likely outcome is plenty of internet use?
In a nutshell – yes
Screw `Dave` the pretend Tory, get the true Conservative Hannan in the job now.
You got that right!
yup – but for DH to succeeed he will need the party – so we need to tread careful – remember what happened to the wunderkind over here (Palin) – got crucified by the MSM and half hearted support from the GOP.
The demented one-eyed son of the manse has even been slagged off by the Chilean President for failing to save for a rainy day. Could this week get any worse for the Huhne?

“Cameron Hails Hannan’s “Brilliant Response”
In an email tonight to supporters Dave hails
Dan Hannan’s brilliant response to Gordon Brown in the European Parliament. It was so effective and shows the growing power of the internet over TV.”
Actually Dave it highlighted how piss poor you are, Dan said as much tonight on newsnight, he effectively said that their is no real choice between the parties.
If Guido is a political blogger worth his salt and a trrue Libertarian rather than a Tory stooge he will have Dans cutting remarks regarding the state of our pretend democracy up ASAP!
HOW ABOUT IT GUIDO, PROVE YOU ARE A REAL LIBERTARIAN OR BE WRITEN OF AS A PLASTIC TORY LACKY!
Huh?
Just watch the clip and all will be revealed!
Daniel Hannan Newsnight 2009-03-27
Er, Hannan was brilliant.
What’s your point?
This guy Hannan is, to borrow Asus’s strapline. Rock Solid, Heart Touching.
well spoken, intelligent and honest.
cameron needs to phase out the blair like … ‘y’know, I’m just like you matey’ type communication and just start acting more, I dunno, statesman like, not Blairish Statebloke like.
Do you have reading difficulties?
you talkin to me..?
dunno, too much coffee.
also watch DH on Glenn Beck – Beck being a Yank gets the usual things wrong (England/Britain etc) but again DH comes across just great.
We need to encourage more views of other YouTube clips – lots of god punchy simple stuff !!!
HOW ABOUT IT GUIDO, PROVE YOU ARE A REAL LIBERTARIAN OR BE WRITTEN OF AS A PLASTIC TORY LACKY!
Personally I do not believe Guido is a Tory lacy, but I am also not convinced he is a true libertarian either. He may be, but sometimes he looses the plot somewhat ( pun intended).
The internet is perfectly riddled with papist co-agitators witting or otherwise. Finding the real truth is therefore a question of using common sense and what is left of your free mind.
Guido could not effectively run this site without INFORMERS giving him inside information. Therefore his own agenda must be compromised to a greater or lesser degree whether he wishes it to be or not.
I have no doubt however that for a good reason or bad Guido will turn on The Conservative Party leadership virtually the day Cameron gets elected if he departs from the straight and narrow. Guido’s job is to undermine British democracy, and my god how it deserves to be so.
The trick is to not end up throwing the innocent baby out with the dangerously polluted NWO bathwater. Our parliament may be a bunch of corrupted idiots, perverts, criminals, and habitual liars, but it is all we have, and we must protect it.
” have no doubt however that for a good reason or bad Guido will turn on The Conservative Party leadership virtually the day Cameron gets elected if he departs from the straight and narrow”
Agreed, and I hope he does.
I agree Atlas.My first priority as a securibod was not the welbeing of the Ignorant pigs at the trough but the institution of Parliament.
How sad I have been to see Blair/brown turn it into a Whorehouse, Particulaly the Lords.
Agree, but would say ‘hold to account’ rather than ‘undermine’. Undermining is what Brown and co have been doing.
Fantastic snippet from Parris in the Times:
“So much so that, as I write, he’s airborne again, after touching down in Brazil in the hope that a little of Pelé’s (or President Lula’s) South American stardust will rub off on him, and bound for a Chilean seaside resort where a ludicrous “progressive governance” summit has failed to attract any other national leader beyond Chile’s, Argentina’s and Norway’s.
Even the Spanish are sending only a ministerial understrapper. But Peter Mandelson will be there, after touching down briefly in Brazil to contradict Mr Brown’s new approach to capitalism.”
Daniel Hannan Newsnight 2009-03-27
That fucking Wark keeps interrupting Hannan, the stupid bitch. Doesn’t she get it?
She’d get it from me, the saucy tart.
Spammer
And Hannan was brilliant, incidentally.
“Taken for granted, ripped off, lied to and ignored.”
This bloke is rapidly becoming the second messiah!
He’s fantastic!
catch him on Beck – he is a hero over here too!!!
One by one the world leaders are turning on Gordoom McBust and his party of piss-poor pigswilling pillocks. The ragtag bunch of Hoons can’t hang on forever.
Oh yes.
The endgame of MuckBrown’s downfall is better than a Polanski-esq, particularly bloody production of the Scottish Play.
Indeed. McBrown is “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”.
“people have been taken for granted, ripped off, lied to and ignored”
great quote from Hannan. god someone slap theat bitch Wark and tell her how to interview properly, we’re tuned in to listen to your guests not you, you effing Huhne
Now we can all sit back and lay odds on which cabinet ministers will lose their seats at the next election. Personally I’d sit up all night to see Hoon get his.
well if its just the “hit of the new” as regards fund raising , but i think i get it guido , in that dan hannahs voice was like a bolt , but then i look at other you tube footage of ordinary folks , and there anger doesnt quite rise above the penetration of a rant .
the net has changed what we view and hear , it is also has a sort of private feel , so politicians can do more tailored or pick out sub groups , but i think there is a down side , in that the scene is being set for dice and slice politics and it may well be that national messages become more vauge as the net message becomes more personalised .
whilst over hear our goverment is monitoring information in a rather creepy way to sew up any leaks , this would not be the case in certain other countries i can think of where , during the night a small car might pull up and said blogger be bundled into it and there relatives told he/she had done some offence against the state !!
perhaps OH thinks the net can roast the corrupt politicians , perhaps we are going to have a bit of “clear out” of all the crap , but the net is not a substitute for the way a goverment has to work , so ime not getting too hyped about govt by the net , but yeah torpedoing the bullshit then its state of the art , making policy by it would be a nightmare . i also have some doubts about electronic voting . so its not quite the new idol for me .
but the net has played a very important part in highlighting just how bad this government is , i just hope that people will realise the ideaology behind labour is wonk and that they dont want you to do anything more that what they give you or tell you or award you .
i dont think i am a libertarian , but that doesnt mean i dont appreciate what some brave souls have achieved and risked in blogging some of the scams that have given us a corrupt and ruined society .
i think that if gordon doesnt call a general election in june , he will finish the labour party , and that beast will cause havoc as it dies and its borg /zombie associates collapses into the cess pit , but its corrupt and has to go , i really dont want to live under this wonk and flawed ideaology .
labour should be so sorry for what they have done this is going to take bloody years to sort out , whilst they play game theory and pamper there egos .
interesting times indeed , change is knocking on the door for this goverment , wont be too long before they work out how to craft a battering ram
Yeah, but just enough time to:
“sort out the monarchy” – you know, burning questions like female succession, Catholics and all that…
And for Nut-Cracker (ie Man-Hater) Harman to turn the country into a Feminist Gulag full of tax-paying, and ripped-off on divorce male Zeks….
etc
In his Channel 4 interview, Hannan points out that McBroon is “incapable of listening to criticism”. Two other notable politicians that shared this trait were Stalin and Hitler. ‘Nuff said.
Good, Nipper. Very good.
I reckon McBroon = Macbeth. The greatest study of a tyrant (rather than ‘tyranny’) ever dramatised
Read ‘Liberal fascism’ by Jonah (!) Goldberg. It’s a no.1 NY Times bestseller. Slow at first (historical background), but gets going around 100 pages in. Spooky parallels between all the fascist parties and what’s happening now.
Hannan actually has me tempted to sign up as a member to the Tory party. You reckon it might trigger something at Conservative HQ if there’s a surge in membership around the time someone who seems to have a bit of conviction joins the scene?
A politician that actually seems genuine and he’s EXACTLY what this country needs right now. If we could elect our leaders i’d vote for him in a heartbeat. Guess this is what some Americans saw with Ron Paul, heh.
Congratulations to Mr Hannan for a fine speech. It is a great shame that it would be impossible to make speeches such as this in the House of Commons without incurring the wrath of Gorbals Mick. Maybe the HoC has something to learn from the European parliament after all?

Britain may have to go to the IMF for a huge financial bailout, the influential investor George Soros warns today.
The man who made $1 billion on Black Wednesday in 1992 told The Times that Britain was particularly vulnerable to the economic crisis.
Mr Soros – speaking days after an auction of government bonds failed for the first time in 14 years, ringing alarm bells about Britain’s ability to fund its growing debts – said that Gordon Brown might have to go begging for billions of pounds in international aid. He also warned that next week’s G20 summit in London was the last chance to avert a full-scale depression that could prove worse than that in the 1930s.
“You have a problem that the banking system is bigger than the economy . . . so for Britain to absorb it alone would really pile up the debt,” he said. Asked about the chances of Britain having to seek help from the International Monetary Fund, he said that if the banking system continued to collapse, it was “a possibility”. At this stage, he added, it was “not a likelihood”.

Only an idiot would trust anything GS says about anything. IMO GS knows far more then he is letting on. If you want a betting tip, put it on a repeat performance of the seventies. The IMF owns this country and the establishment own the IMF, as they do just about everything else including YOU and ME.
A man that can’t run the finances of his own political party or country, can not possibly correct the financial situation of the planet on his own. Gordon Brown did not bankrupt this country all by himself, and neither can he solve any financial crisis without the express help of the people who actually did conspire to bankrupt it. Which of course is the likes of GS and CO.
Please be reminded it was GS and CO, who gave us Gordon Brown in the first place.
Brown’s junket to “save the World”has uncomfortable reminders of 1978 when a beleagured Labour Prime Minister in the dog days of a failed Labour Administration returned to the United Kingdom to face the maelstrom and was forced to go to the IMF for a bail out.
Even the Chilean Prime Minister has inadvertantlty hurt Brown by stating at end of visit press conference that Chile will not require help as “we saved during the hard times” – you couldn’t make it up. Brown is a national embarassment somebody ought to confiscate his passport and ban him from anymore overseas trips
Chilean PM tells Brown – WE saved in the hard times
Apologies link should have course read We saved in the GOOD times – not had my early morning cup of caffene yet
Hannan has said what Dave should have been saying for months.
Why hasn’t he been spouting these self-evident truths?
And, despite his protestations I just can not believe that Two Pies is capable of writing the sort of stuff with which Guido credits him in the post. It’s not possible. Someone is writing that for him.
As in ‘the liblabcons are all the same and voting for any of them makes no difference?
Can’t imagine why Camera-on doesn’t say it every day. The more the truth is told the sooner we get to execute all these MPs.
Agreed, Prescot has the good sense to employ a very good writer. Apart from that he is a waste of space.
Given that Michael White has not engaged his readership in the Hannan debate, yet is happy to slur the man, I would like to offer my right of reply to Michael White -
Michael Wite, you are an odious Hoon
Splendid work, Guido, in getting the Hannan snowball rolling. Also loved the ‘Berkeley T-shirt’ on the Daily Politics. Excellent.
John Rentoul in his item in the ‘Indie’ yesterday described Daniel Hannan as “rude”.
I pointed out to him that as a now pensioner and saver who spent his whole life living within my means (more or less) and now ex-pat who’s life and that of his family have been ruined by McSporran and co.
Despite Mr. Rentoul’s no doubt expensive university education he had no conception of the meaning of the word “rude.” I really would like to be “rude” to this crowd but as Daniel says quite correctly – what difference can I make?
“Guido has to give full credit to John Prescott, who clearly does get it:”
I don’t think so, he’s just accidentally dropped on something by chance but misunderstanding what it really is. Anyway we were led to believe that he had Bulimia nervosa – the people I’ve seen with that condition are as thin as a pickled onion fork. Quite clealy he suffers from something else – possibly gluttony or more probably it was used as spin to sell his book.
I think he would have been far more effective continuing as a waiter – he was hopeless in government and that is for sure.
Prestcott was recently asked if he had a chip on his shoulder. He replied, “would you like salt and vinegar with it, Sir?”
or used as an excuse for the vast amounts of public money he wasted on food more like !
Guido, I agree totally with CYMRO 1038 who wrote that Cameron said what he did in his mail through gritted teeth.
One sentence! and quickly moved on. IF he was any kind of a leader he would carry Hannan, on his shoulders, into the Welsh Conservative Conference he mentioned at the foot of his message.
I am sorry I missed Hannan on Newsnight saying we should get out of the EU, if you could put it up it would be very interesting to watch and also it would be intruiging to see if he gets a repeat performance!
Now, please concentrate on Brown. He has to go!
He’s the closest thing we have to Ron Paul, so it’s certainly a step in the right direction. I just hope the recent run of events isn’t a fad and that something substantial arises from this.
Mr Fawkes
As you know full well, the fattest bullimic on the planet doesnt write his own blog, he just appears in the videos
His well known struggle with syntax rather gives the game away.
The fat ,cheating ,disgracefull, shameless Hoon.
@wooly [9] “With the BBC finaly giving in and airing the Hannan speech ..”
The BBC may have reluctantly conceded that, but I notice they’re also playing along with Brown’s transparent and pathetic attempt at distraction by including a “Have Your Say” about the rules of royal succession.
Mind you, it’s gratifying to see that most replies, apart from the usual few bilious bellyaching republicans, make the obvious point that there are more important things to be worrying at the moment. So yet another own goal for Labour it seems.
Royal succession is absolutely a distraction (upon which they are not serious otherwise Straw would not have ushered it out of the back door in Parliament yesterday). “Coincidentally” it plays a little to the Scottish Catholic vote and The McBroon will need whatever votes he can get come an election. Any large nunneries in Scotland open to postal voting? Would anyone notice if the (extremely numerous) Order of the Sisters of St Hoon was set up somewhere remote? This nonsense is more about the SNP than about anything else.
I can strongly recommend the hilarious Grauniad article by Sir Michael Guido refers to.
The comments had me in tears of laughter – almost 300 saying ‘you are a berk sunshine’.
and
I’ve linked to Dan Hannan’s Newsnight intv here
Guido,
Actually 1.4MM hits on Youtube. Wait a couple of hour until it hit’s 1.5MM and update your blog.
From the 1000′s of Youtube comments we have more risk of Dan becoming a US Senator than a Tory minister.
Dan owned Gordon but he also showed Dave up to be a spineless & out of step “leader”.
The truth about Prestcott and the egg incident!
In fact the bloke who threw the egg at Prezza was simply the catalyst absorbing the anger of his nibs at an earlier incident. Just a few minutes prior to the boxing match someone in the crowd shouted, “Waiter” Auto response propelled Prezza toward the voice shouting, “would you like ice with it, Sir”? Utterly rattled by his own inability to get away from his past Prezza marched on muttering to himself, “fucking customers” Just at that point the aforesaid egg landed on deck but still in waitress mode Prezza thought it was a customer returning an under cooked dish. He couldn’t take any more, you see, so he lashed out shouting, “well, would you like kippers instead then?”
The natural response of the lower working classes is to lash out like demented Kangaroos so perhaps we judge him unfairly – after all we all products of our upbringing and therefore believe that is how it should be – if you are incapable of raising your sights above a fish dock that is.
Makes sense to me.
Cameron took a while to spot this bandwagon rolling past him!
I would have hoped that any competent MP could have made a speech of similar quality to Dan Hannans. Perhaps Pickles proves me entirely wrong.
I’ve always thought its good content is important in a speech (so I couldnt ever be a politician). Its odd in a way that he managed to be the first to package up all the key points that the conservatives wanted to make – FIRST.
On the other hand no MP could make such a speech in the house of commons because they’d have to shout over a “jeers vs heeah-heeah” competition. Or on TV/radio. They wouldnt be given more than 30 seconds to make their point.
Hi Guido,
I assume you’d have seen this lamentable effort by draper on C4 news, but if not I thought you might be interested.
Cheers
Draper is also on tv ads now. Check out the ‘Plenty’ kitchen roll ad, and keep your eye on the bloke in the orange dress.
Newsnight under MSM pressure. DH rips yet more holes in the Government, revolution bubbling. Come on UK, sweep the buggers out!
Dan Hannan, Mervyn King, Mirek Topolanek, Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy, Jose Manuel Barroso, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Michelle Bachelet, George Soros and the rest….
Message for Cameron….DON’T PRAISE HANNAN, FUCKING COPY HIM!!!
GET STUCK INTO THAT HOON BROWN NOW!!!
It wouldn’t work. Hannan is the real deal. Cameron would always be a copy. Somethings you just can’t fake.
Brilliant stuff going on. I love the stick Prick White has been getting.
But the usual apparatchiks are combing the statistics behind – and can still only come up with the lame response that our debt is lower than in other countries, but only on a pre-recession debt/gdp basis. When the depression is in full flow, the reality will hit home.
No response from The Waspish White Queen, I see.
Message to Conservative HQ:
Yes, you can take pot shots at Brown. The lot of you. It’s allowed.
Peter Oborne’s column is particularly cutting. Somewhere in the bunker, McDoom is raging…
Michael White is an über cünt.
A failed old has-been who can’t see the wood for the trees. I hope he is roped in to appear on election night programs. He will smirk and appear all clever (in his sick patronising way) but inside he will know Labour’s and his game is up.
Fuck off.
C’mon, MITS, this is Guido’s blog – you can speak freely here. What do you really think of that prick White?
“People are being taken for granted, ripped off, lied to, and ignored”.
Hannan has caught a mood, an angry mood of people who are seeing their lives have less and less meaning and who are having less and less control over things. He has brilliantly touched this, by design or default, it doesn’t matter. He may not necessarily be the most gifted person nevertheless, he is actually taking the battle to the establishment including ALL political parties.
Where this leads I’m unsure about. The marches and demos in London this next few days may highlight how the authorities react – already violence is top of their agenda – but it’s the PEOPLE who are ANGRY – fuck the establishment – TO THE BARRICADES…….

It’s 28th March 1979 and the battle lines for the next ten years are being drawn up this week. On the one hand the inchoate mass of single-issue sans culottes who agree on nothing except their loathing of everything. On the other hand a resurgent Tory party reflecting the calm determination of ordinary citizens to put our country and economy back together again, whatever the short-term cost. In the middle, the vacuum of an exhausted, discredited, directionless Labour government, way past its use-by date, and starting to smell.
Be fair to Cameron he just cannot say things like Hannan did, as many people have said here Hannan has caught the public mood. The American ant to give him a passport.
A week ago or so Cameron nearly had to spend a week in Michael Martin’s khasi for just calling McSporran a ‘phoney’ how pathetic can you get? Just about the weakest description I can think of and he had to apologise (without taking the piss) as Mr. Gorbals explained.
Kevin Maguire of the Labour Party Journal known as the Daily Mirror mentions you Guido. Unfortunately for him even readers of his diatribe are giving him a kicking. He really is a dickhead (Maguire not you Guido). God if Daily Mirror readers think the same then Labour and apparatchiks really are f*ucked.

Prescott ‘I must say I find the internet sensation…….’
that the first time he’s said anything I’ve agreed with
Hazel Blears – she’s at it again? I’m told her face was applied by Heston Blumenthal.

This quote is an extract from an article in today’s Telegraph by John Bingham and Anita Singh. It is a report on ITV and BBC’s failure to screen Hannan’s “blistering public attack” on McTwat:
‘Jonathan Munro, acting editor of ITV News, said: “We took an editorial decision on the day of Daniel Hannan’s comments to focus on the macro political story that would most impact the UK economy, and therefore our viewers.”
He added: “However, that’s not to say that Daniel Hannan’s speech doesn’t make great theatre.
“This internet phenomenon is indicative of the role that new media has alongside broadcast and print journalism in creating stories and generating debate.”
A spokesman for the BBC said: “The main story of the day on Tuesday March 24 concerned the comments by the Governor of the Bank of England on the desirability of further fiscal stimulation.
“The clip of Gordon Brown at the European Parliament was used as part of the reports on BBC News outlets in the context of the wider story, not as a report simply of the PM’s speech to the European Parliament.”‘
So that’s it then, the BBC were “focusing on the macro”, Hannan’s a theatre act, the internet has a role alongside the MSM in generating debate, and in any case the wider context of King’s shafting of McTwat was more important than what happened in the European Parliament.
Or to put it another way: HOW TO MISS A FUCKING MASSIVE STORY.
We know that the BBC is part of the NuLab Gulag, but what is Jonathan Munro’s excuse? “Acting editor of ITV News” doesn’t mean pretending to be the editor and making a mess of it.
And very generous of the BBC spokesman to concede that the internet has a role alongside the MSN. If only you knew Pal!
The Ron Paul Phenomonen certainly shook up the Republican Party. I think Ron paul raised $4 million on the 5th November 2008 and broke the record for a single day fundraiser in the primaries, raising more money than any of the other republican candidates by a mile and beating Al Gore’s previous record haul for a 24 hour period
None of this was reported in the British media of course
I wrote twice to the BBC and asked them to explain why the Ron Paul sensation was not covered AT ALL by the BBC’s US election coverage and received a truly pathetic response from them by letter.
Dan Hannan’s speech was excellent. I’m delighted that it set the internet on fire for a couple days
People power!
You can’t suppress the people forever
