Daniel Hannan at the Tory Spring Forum
"Feeling a bit stand-offish today, are we, Winston?"

"No. But whenever you see anything big, Clement, you nationalise it."

Daniel Hannan, whom I've extolled previously, has a tongue like a serpent's tooth, an indominitable protectiveness over liberty – and a seriously mean streak towards Gordon Brown.
Here is his speech at the recent Conservative Party Spring, erm, thing. Absolutely worth watching if you care about fiscal sanity, British autonomy, and rhetorical genius. Worth watching in any case.
