Liberty Has Leapt Across the Big Pond
Feb 27, 2010 
Daniel Hannan, the European Parliament member who is fighting against socialism in England, had announced a Tea Party event in Brighton for Saturday, the 27th. Daniel Hannan has released a statement about the success of the event.
Thanks to everyone who came to the Brighton Tea Party, and apologies to those who couldn’t get it. We opened and filled an adjoining room, but it was still quite a squash. The hotel manager told me afterwards that there had been more than 300 people present, not counting those who had had to be turned away.
If you can run a tea-party in Brighton Pavilion – the constituency which the Greens are most hopeful of winning – you can run one anywhere. You don’t have to be a small-government Conservative to feel that taxation, spending and borrowing are currently too high.
Let me say it one more time. Gordon Brown has doubled the national debt. Every second, it rises by another 5,000 pounds. Our deficit is 12.6 per cent of GDP compared to Greece’s 12.7. All this despite theadditional trillion pounds taken in taxation since 1997.
We can’t afford another month of this, let alone another five years.
Thanks to the Freedom Association for helping to put everything together, and warm thanks to James and Laragh from my office for coming to Brighton to help.
I take pride in the fact that our fight for freedom has leapt across the "big pond" onto the shores of merry ol' England.
