The British are having a Tea Party

Firom the telegraph UK
British Tea Party Movement to launch on Saturday
By Daniel Hannan
The inaugural British Tea Party will take place on Saturday in my home town of Brighton, and I’ll be speaking. Do try to come: here are the details.
Labour has raised more than a trillion pounds in additional taxation since 1997. Yet, unbelievably, Gordon Brown has still managed to run up a deficit of 12.6 per cent of GDP (Greece’s is 12.7 per cent). A far lower level of taxation brought Americans out in spontaneous protest last year.
If you happen to be coming to the Conservative Spring Conference, do please pop in: the Tea Party is five minutes’ walk from the conference venue. It is, however, outside the security zone, and anyone is welcome to come. Oh, and this being England, we’ll be serving actual, you know, tea. I hope to see some of this blog’s readers there.
Nice to know the cause of the first tea parties is having one of their own.
Daniel Hannan, European Parliament member and Conservative Party member is best known to Americans as the politician who gave British Prime Minister Gordon Brown a dressing down in his "devalued Prime Minister of a devalued government" speech last year, which became a YouTube hit - will speak at the event.

  1. FYI. I have posted the following on my blog.

    The Tea Party Express is holding its kickoff event for the third national tour in none other than Harry Reid's home town of Searchlight, NV. The following links provide the details for the tour. There is also a direct link from my blog wwwjr.wordpress.com.

  2. Just finished reading past blogs and will just say that I don't believe the tea party movement will become a 3rd party, but may need to have organize with other groups just to prove by sheer numbers how strong a vote we have.
