Giant-killer du Jour: Daniel Hannan MEP rants heartily at PM Brown

No teleprompter. Quite remarkable and wonderful. It applies to us, too. (h/t, Drudge):

It's hardly a rant. But it is very, very welcome. One wishes that the camera had been on Brown's face throughout - he is notoriously short-tempered and given to fits of rage in which he insults underlings and destroys things (including the UK economy).

If the name was changed to Obama and the accent to a Southern drawl this would be perfect for the Obamination to hear from one of his esteemed colleagues. Unfortunately the ship reference would likely be lost on him, he probably knows little of England's history on the high seas. That was one excellent, and in a sense universal, instance of corrective criticism

Someone, EU President, Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek called Hussein's plan to spend US out of recession "a road to hell", at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

This speech is a stunning demonstration of real oratory. Nothing is more impressive than righteous, rightful indignation. It slices and dices all wrong-headed, fuzzy thinking and puts the blame right where it should be. I wish we had, on the Republican side in our beleaguered country, at least one orator with this kind of skill.

Thank you Bird Dog, for finding and posting this masterpiece.

Hello,I don't understand the situation in the U.S.A. but I hope that it is not as bad as in England.Just to reply to part of your comment;
Daniel Hannan has done nothing yet although I was really gald to hear his speech.Maybe this is because of media suppression,I don't know.But the U.K. is in an advanced state of Communist destruction and it has taken so long for Daniel Hannan to emerge.I hope that you never see a 'Daniel Hannan' in the U.S. as I don't want the U.S. to be destroyed like the U.K. has been destroyed.

We need one of him over here.

Great Britain may be in terrible shape financially and economically, but they obviously still have some serious schools. They produce political leaders who can construct and deliver a coherent argument.

Odd, that video is no longer available, anywhere. Well, at least the three sites I've tried.

What I would give to speak like that in public.
It's to bad that we can't get him and Thaddeus McCotter together in 2012.

Luther ... if you're talking about the video above of Hannan, drudge had it up early this afternoon in the headers. I haven't checked since I got back from my appointment, but it was there, from Youtube, with some additional Hannan speeches mentioned in the right hand sidebar.

Thanks for the tip MM. But suddenly it is working here again.

What a breath of fresh air. And what a clear, concise and simple presentation of how politics should be. Able men speaking in able ways. Without obfuscation, directly and to the point. Good stuff.

#8.1 Luther McLeod on 2009-03-25 19:34 (Reply)

The most watched video in Britain, by far - and yet nothing in the UK mainstream media! Everyone talking about it and silence from our supposed democratic press/TV. I've learned a lot from this. Politics - what a stitch up!!

Daniel in the Lions Den.I hope that God is on Britain's side.

#10 Owen Reed on 2009-03-25 19:07 (Reply)

Owen Reed ... As Abe Lincoln said, when one of his cohorts made a similar remark about hoping God was on our side, "We should hope and pray that we are on God's side."

Good luck and good wishes to Britain, our mother country in many ways ... a country that still can produce great orators. Pull your collective socks up, my friend, and take your country back.

For a striking contrast with the kind of oratory our own leaders can produce, try the video on display at Iowahawk.

This lecture needs to be given to Obama and Pelosi by the up and coming Republican House member, whoever that is.

#13 greenmtnpunter on 2009-03-26 13:09 (Reply)

Not a single "um" or "uh" in the whole speech!

I was speaking to my Mother on the phone one day and she spoke about Gordon Brown.The conversation got a bit heated and I started to raise my voice.
My pet Canary heard that we were talking about Gordon Brown so he jumped to the exit of his cage and started shouting at me because he hates Gordon Brown because Gordon Brown has put a tax on his favourite seed.

Hi All,

This is the other speech that preceded Daniel Hannan's:

There's also an interesting follow on:

How do you solve a problem like Daniel, Roger and Stuart?

and my favourite is - Failed politicians always go to heaven:
