Either a party (Ukip?) adopts the idea or a new one needs to be formed. Or we rebel!<br /><br />c: Your last paragraph is the important one.....

At least Hannan draws attention to some important things.<br /><br />The danger I see in him is luring people into believing that because his views on many things are sound, this is reason for swallowing the Tory Europlastic line.cosmicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-86342377360632189302011-11-12T12:55:20.353-08:002011-11-12T12:55:20.353-08:00I believe the mood is changing but so slowly.

Remind me what it was about though please. <br /><br />I understand what you are saying about Hannan and Farage WfW but at least they are willing to speak against the likes of Ashton and von Rompuy.<br /><br />Also, there are swathes and swathes of people in the UK who either:<br /><br />1. Couldn't care less - wonder who will get voted off X Factor this weekend.<br /><br />2.
