Looks like Daniel Hannan is Great Britain’s answer to Thaddeus McCotter, our favorite congressman.
Here’s a speech the MEP from South East England delivered during British Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s appearance before the European Parliament.
Hmmmm. When he says the word “Prime Minister” and “Great Britain” pretend he’s saying “President” and “United States” and it all makes sense. In a terrifying sort of way.

Here, Here!
Gawd I love the British House. They sound like rabble and howl like wolves over dinner when they need to. How refreshing, I got out my umbrella and pounded it like a cane in agreement.
I wish to be good. but join eu patry they not like you. don’t join them you be a looy patry.
this is possibly one of the best speeches i have ever seen. we need a voice like this in the US.
We do! Listen to Mark Levin or Rush Limbaugh. Believe it or not both have put out some amazing speeches that I think should live long after they are gone. Check their transcripts, listen to their shows.
This guy is brilliant and his sound message is helped along by a wonderful accent.
John, we do have one!
Rep. Thaddeus McCotter is so damn good that we made a page just for him. Check it out: America’s Congressman – Thaddeus McCotter.
Here’s a classic: Welcome back, McCotter: Our favorite congressman tells “How to speak Democrat
It’s so erie, that if he were speaking to Obama, 90% of the speech would apply. Read:
President Obama, I see you’ve already mastered the essential craft of the American politician, namely the ability to say one thing in this chamber and a very different thing to your home electorate. You’ve spoken here about free trade, and amen to that. Who would have guessed, that you were the author of the phrase ‘Hope’ and ‘Change in Washington’ and that you have subsidized, where you have not nationalized outright, swathes of our economy, including the financial industry? Perhaps you would have more moral authority in this government if your actions matched your words? Perhaps you would have more legitimacy in the councils of the world if the United States were not going into this recession in the worst condition ever?
The truth, President Obama, is that you have run out of our money. The country as a whole is now in negative equity. Every American child is born owing around $170,000. Servicing the interest on that debt is going to cost more than educating the child. Now, once again you try to spread the blame around; you spoke about an international recession, international crisis. Well, it is true that we are all sailing together into the squalls. But not every vessel in the convoy is in the same dilapidated condition. Other ships used the good years to caulk their hulls and clear their rigging; in other words – to pay off debt. But you raise borrowing yet further. As a consequence, under your captaincy, our hull is pressed deep into the water line under the accumulated weight of your debt We are now running a deficit that touches 10% of GDP, an almost unbelievable figure. More than Pakistan, more than Hungary; countries where the IMF have already been called in. Now, it’s not that you’re not apologizing; like everyone else I have long accepted that you’re pathologically incapable of accepting responsibility for some of these things. It’s that you’re carrying on, willfully worsening our situation, wantonly spending what little we have left. Last year – in the last twelve months – six hundred thousand private sector jobs have been lost.
President Obama, you cannot carry on for ever squeezing the productive bit of the economy in order to fund an unprecedented engorgement of the unproductive bit. You cannot spend your way out of recession or borrow your way out of debt. And when you repeat, in that wooden and perfunctory way, that our situation is better than others, that we’re ‘well-placed to weather the storm’, I have to tell you that you sound like a Brezhnev-era apparatchik giving the party line. You know, and we know, and you know that we know that it’s nonsense! Everyone knows that United States is worse off than any other country as we go into these hard times. The IMF has said so; the European Commission has said so; the markets have said so – which is why our currency has devalued by thirty percent. And soon the voters too will get their chance to say so. They can see what the markets have already seen: that you are the devalued President of a devalued government.
