… triple-D solution for the European monetary crisis is devalue, decouple and default.

At least you can be confident that the “default” part is happening. Eventually of course the “devalue” part must necessarily follow that.

Hannan is probably my second favourite politician out of the current lot worldwide (the first being, by a very long stretch, Boris Johnson).

Only thing is, whenever I see these clips of Hannan speaking, all the other seats are empty. Do the other MEP’s not bother turning up?

That said, is David Cameron the Malcolm Turnbull of British politics?

Peas in a pod. Cameron had the childhood and schooling Malcolm longed for, Malcolm had the career Cameron wished for. Faux conservative interlopers sent from hell to rain evil upon us.

We’ve watched Britain let the canary choke to death. Mad if we repeat it.

And more from Dan The European Union a "Syphilitic structural core Went to see Dan Hannan when he came to Australia last year. Great speaker -- his triple-D solution for the European monetary crisis is devalue, decouple and default. Iceland did it, maybe the PIGS should all default I sure the gnomes wouldn't like it one bit.

Daniel Hannan needs to be PM of Britain. He is what they need. Who else would cut their government to the size it needs to be without worrying about the accompanying unpopularity (which would only be short term anyway)?

“Just like the Soviet Union, only more so….”

That line is just so apt in describing the EU and UN, not to mention the Rudd/Gillard thought bubble, Slush fund style Economics here in Australia.

I like listening to Daniel Hannan. His good sense is accented to perfection.
