A Tea Party In Brighton, UK

There are signs of possible renewal in England. Announcing a Tea Party in Brighton, Daniel Hannan admonishes:

Those British Lefties who now sneer at what they regard as the Americanisation of the British Right would do well to remember their own history. They are the political heirs of Charles James Fox, of John Wilkes, or Tom Paine. I have no doubt that if the heroes of that age – Burke or Fox or Pitt or Johnson or Swift – could be transported to our own time, they would recoil with horror at the level of taxation and state intervention.
To remind you, Labour has introduced 111 tax rises since 1997. It has taken a trillion pounds in additional taxation. And it has still left us with a deficit of 12.6 per cent of GDP.
Enough is enough. I’m not asking you to throw any chests into the Channel, but at least come to Brighton, drink some tea, and let our leaders know how you feel about their squandering of our property and our heritage.

Meanwhile, via Jonah Goldberg, another Brit gets his Roger Daltry on with a blunt “Who Are You?” for the EU President:

There just seems to be a great deal of dissatisfaction with politicians who don’t seem representative these days. Tough crowd.
