You know, UKIP style.

Given the shower of excrement from the mainstream 3 parties it's no wonder he's gaining popularity.

Nick Clegg will be touching himself at the prospect of conceding more powers to Europe. The stuttering wonder Andrew Duff will be proclaiming it a great day and mocking the little Englanders.

Cameron will tell us that we the public just don't understand and gleefully sign it.

After finding a way to weasel out of giving us a referendum of course. Democracy is such an inconvenience within the European project but easily avoided and failing that perverted - the EU can use money paid by member states to flood them with propaganda on the rare occasions they do get to vote on such things.

Yes, I noticed that Quisling getting his say in at the end of Farrage's video. How sad.

You have to love our representatives in the European Parliament putting down their own constituents and country in order to promote the European project. I refuse, purely due to their overwhelming desire to sell us out in Europe, to vote Liberal Democrat in anything again. They've gone from Pro-EU to downright sycophantic. Whatever else they do and however good Vince Cable is as a domestic MP I can't give my vote to a man who rolls his eyes at any criticism of the EU or is within a party that is desperate to get us into the Euro - still.

Cable in Government is a bumbling fool. TBH I'm glad he's there right now as it is putting to bed some of the starry-eyed nonsense along the lines of 'best chancellor we'll never have' that was doing the rounds prior to the 2010 election. The Lib Dems are performing a useful function right now, lending additional legitimacy to a Government at a time when hard decisions need to be taken (granted, you have said in the past they're not taking all the decisions they should be, but hey ho).

All being well, come 2015 we will have constituencies redrawn so that the level of support required in order to get elected is more or less the same in each, and we will have a Liberal Democrat Party that has shown itself to be an incompetent bunch no longer deserving a place at the top table. All of which, I hope, will mean a true, full Conservative administration from 2015 to 2020.

... and as an aside, based on Ed Millipede's performance with Nick Robinson yesterday, there's little sign of him transforming himself, or Liebour, into a credible contender by 2015. The ship being tugged into Birkenhead docks over Ed's left shoulder was more interesting to watch. Total and utter lack of charisma, credibility, believability, you name it, he's not got it.

Anyway, to return to the topic, I wonder what Dan Hannan's chances of getting a seat in the Mother of all Parliaments is. I'd love to see more of him in public life and there is no question that if the British public are ever going to be motivated enough to complain about Europe loud enough for our politicians to take note, they are going to need a domestic cheerleader ... and one not encumbered with the 'negative plank' image that Russ says Nigel Farrage has got.

The idea of Dan Hannan as an MP scares Cameron witless I imagine. He is probably concerned enough at Hannan being in the European Parliament let alone him being the centrepiece of his EU-sceptic MPs in Parliament.

I took care to write EU-sceptic rather than Euro-sceptic there as it seems to be a convenient line of attack for EU-sycophants to accuse anyone sceptical over the ever growing tendrils of the EU of being anti-Europe which of course the overwhelming majority are not.

If this is to be believed this may all be somewhat academic.

I would be worried if the EU tried to impose that guy on us! Is he serious or meant to be for comic effect?

"Throughout Keiser's shows he has been known for making predictions:

* In the September 2004 issue of The Ecologist magazine, Keiser correctly predicted the 2008 collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac when he wrote, "My guess is that the two stocks that look the likeliest to implode at the hands of derivative-wielding Wall Street financial types (and other fundamentalists) preying on a US economy made weak by cheap money are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac."
* In 2006 he correctly predicted that sub-prime mortgage-backed securities would be the cause of recession by 2008.
* In 2007 he correctly predicted the break-down of Iceland's economy in 2008."

.. sounds pretty serious to me.

Impressive. If true. Depends how many predictions he makes and the way he makes them.
