A quality delivery I'd say.

Well I did do a search to see if it had been posted before if that's the implication of your jibe. Otherwise, bolux...

This guy is wasted over there, they should sack "call me Dave" and make him prime minister, he is one of the only guy in politics with his finger on the pulse.

Try searching for Hannan rather than Hannen as in your title...

I liked it too, caught the mood of the moment perfectly....but. He was all in favour of relaxing banking regulations even further and thought investing in Iceland was the way to go. He was wrong about a couple of things in his rant at Broon too, namely car manufacturer subsidies.

Don't let a great attack on the chump fool you, he's a Politician like the rest of em so he talks crap, tells lies and once in power will feather his nest, generate tax and ensure his Party get in for another term

If only he wasn't a politician.

Tool.

I thought it was a classic speech. Not just because of the content which was correct in spirit if not in all the detail but moreover because Brown had to sit and take it. To sit there and listen to what every other person in the country is thinking, namely that how can anyone in their right mind claim that Britain is "in good stead" to weather the storm. He just had to sit there and take it and I loved it. I suspect this will be more damaging than he thinks.

Was Winky allowed to reply? I'd love to hear what he had to say...
And to have the cheek to laugh/smile midspeech. Just wow.

I think that the MEP was being allowed his 3 minute reply to Wee Willy Winky's previous speech to the EU Parliament in which he said that he was 'really great'. So - Hannan was using his right of reply to rebut WWW's talking in tongues.

I didn't see it and I'm in here a lot. No need for that. If you've nothing nice to say then say nothing if you don't want to be a target too. That's all I'm saying on this.

There are that many threads on here, most of them not worth reading but consequently they push something more worthwhile to the next page, making it easily missed by the casual browser.
