Daniel Hannan

Daniel Hannan MEP is such a legend.

Check out his article in the Daily Telegraph today:

"The former Attorney General is confusing causes and symptoms. We don't walk past a Union flag and say to ourselves, "Ah yes, now that I think of it, this is a fine country". We might display the flag because we already believed this".

"Our distinctive features are being eroded. Our legal system is being Europeanised, our counties regionalised, our regiments abolished".

"If Mr Brown's infatuation with Britishness were anything more than a cloak for self-interest - a ruse to distract attention from his anomalous position as a Scottish MP - he would champion the institutional idiosyncracies that make us what we are".

Brilliant. Just brilliant.
